The territories are now used as a "menu", where people move more freely according to their
own needs . The city , for some time , have taken on the meaning of integrated systems ,
appearing more like a miscellany definition of which contribute to multiple devices and whose
understanding and operational management appears to be no longer in the delimitation of
records and formal, but in ' identification of rules and tactics capable of guiding and predicting
possible outcomes and the evolution of the different dynamics and vocations. This gradual development of urban , historic centers , particularly those of the Mediterranean ,
historically , highly structured , hyper - layered and dense , are inadequate to meet the new
needs of today's life .
Fundamental , in this sense , becomes, therefore , to identify and recognize a new criterion and
method for the management of these contexts , focused, not distorting them or altering them in
the name of progress , but , on the contrary , to reactivate them again as dynamic hubs from the
rediscovery of values and functions intrinsic to its historical dimension and nature , based on a
logic substantially renewal and reinterpretation.
Genoa is a fantastic laboratory for the identification of strategies and actions to trace new
developments futuristic responding to today's active logical sustainability, progress and
interconnecting local and global.
