Le aree urbane centrali, storiche e non, hanno dimostrato, nell’ultimo quindicennio, una straordi-naria vitalità e una sorprendente capacità di mettere in atto strategie di rilancio. A dispetto di un annunciato, ma mai verificatosi, declino epocale del proprio ruolo, le realtà urbane continuano a presentarsi come un luogo privilegiato di crescita economica e di sperimentazione sociale e culturale, e si rivelano oggi autonome protagoniste, inserendosi nei circuiti economici innovativi, attirando dall’esterno nuove risorse, finanziarie ed umane, ed incrementando flussi turistici e culturali. Molte operazioni di riqualificazione di siti industriali e portuali sono state completate, producendo effetti positivi nell’attrazione di nuove attività e di investimenti e benefici in termini di miglioramento della qualità urbana. Nonostante la prefigurazione di realtà in cui la diffusione delle tecnologie telematiche e le forme di produzione e comunicazione immateriale, avrebbero determinato decentramenti e indifferenze localizzative, nelle città si assiste ad una rinnovata con-centrazione delle più importanti funzioni politiche, direzionali, strategiche e finanziarie, nonché ad una consolidata importanza delle interazioni face-to-face, che restano un fattore rilevante per la costituzione di reti funzionali ad attività lavorative. Questi temi hanno caratterizzato la Sessione Rigenerazione urbana vs Sprawl.

Abstract
In the last 15 years, central urban areas demonstrated a particular vitality and an amazing capac-ity to put in place recovery strategies. In spite of an announced, but never happened, epochal decline of their role, urban realities continue to present themselves like a privileged place of eco-nomic growth and social and cultural experimentation. They appear as independent protagonists, inserting themselves in innovative economic circuits, attracting new finance and human resource from the outside, increasing tourist and cultural flows. A lot of industrial and port sites renovation have been completed having a positive effect in attracting new activities, investments and im-provement of urban quality. In spite of forecasts of a reality in which the broadcast of technologies and immaterial form of production and communication would have led to decentralization and indifference as to localization, inside the city, there is a refocusing of the most important political, strategic, management and financial functions, as well as consolidation of the importance of inter-actions “face – to – face”, that are a really important factor for the constitution of a new functional network and work activities.These themes have characterized the Session Urban Regeneration vs Sprawl.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
