The projects illustrated here exemplify the way contemporary urban planning is moving in practice; and how it is precisely in the effective transformation of cities and landscapes that it is finding the theoretical and practical forms of its action. An urban planning that; as has recently been pointed out; having emancipated itself from the typo-morphological tradition focused on the built; is now coming to embrace the open spaces of the city within the horizon of the landscape; allowing it to incorporate infrastructures and other complex systems once considered incompatible with the urban character. From this is emerging a set of attitudes and fragmentary reflections that in a process of trial is defining lateral approaches; routes that cut across the habits of design and planning. A research that does not set itself poetic and stylistic goals; but manipulates building; landscape; geographical and infrastructural materials as an inevitable condition of operation.
