Tra il negativo e il positivo del tessuto urbano.Un dialogo con il potenziale rigenerativo delle città contemporanee.Between negative and positive of urban texture. A dialogue with the regenerative potential of contemporary cities

The contemporary city has lost its strength made by the permanence and acknowledged as proper to the identity of the collective memory of the citizenship itself. In order to recompose the lost qualities of the city in its meaning of common good this paper aims to investigate urban regeneration as an intervention methodology: a multi-objective process able to integrate different functions. Specifically, it proposes urban voids as places of feasibility (Giancotti, 2016), selected as elements in which achieve a policy of integration and continuity in the texture of urban settlement. Through out the illustration of an experience of regeneration in the city of Copenhagen, the propose is a reflection about the potentialities of the absences, which, if fulfilled of multi-functions, could answer to a diversity of social, economic, functional and formal issues interacting in the complexity of the contemporary city. Towards a return to the city as the common good par excellence and coherent to the Pact of Amsterdam guidelines.
