The hard work of constructing the urban project
urban project, piano, plan, progetto urbano,
plans & policies
Paolo Avarello
The definition and realisation of ‘urban projects’ takes many years, and is not born of creative genius, but out of necessity, and must be coupled with a more general project in some way, one which moreover is long-term, credible and trustworthy. So a plan specification should not be devoid of (or contain the least possible) final results and characteristics for the specific area affected, but above all should provide the elements necessary for the various proposals and alternatives to be evaluated in relation to the territory and also, but not only, in terms of the fall out of environmental problems.
