Publisher's Synopsis
Re-introducing the issue of sustainability today. This publication represents a contribution to the theme of urban design and its possible evolution in a much hoped for perspective of "Sustainability Sensitive Urban Design", to which we must aspire in order to suitably accept the challenges posed to architecture and urban design by sustainable development. This volume illustrates in particular the experience of a workshop applied to a periphery in the Italian city of Pescara, promoted by the Pescara Faculty of Architecture and the Pescara Municipal and Provincial Governments, and the Abruzzo Regional Government. Participants in the workshop included professors and students from different Italian and European schools of architecture, invited to develop the urban design guidelines prepared by the university of Chieti-Pescara, together with local administrations.
