MODELLO ROMA | DEN-CITY
In the past few years the contrast between historical centre and suburban areas has increased.
Rome’s development has been based on tourism and building industry.
Even though the inhabitants have diminished the city has grown bigger. This has not improved the urban and environmental quality: it produced urban sprawl and loss of rural areas.
Is it still possible to pursue an urban development model like the one followed in recent times? To integrate urban functions, to facilitate transportation, to improve ecological aspects and develop social issues, are all priorities that cannot be given up. How can they become reality since up to now, both the urban policies and the Master Plan haven’t succeeded?
