The Historical City between Past and Future. Is the Center becoming Peripheral?

Article Preview

Abstract:

The passage among the concept of "historical center" to that of "historical city" involves an expansion of the concept of "historicity" that means a different way to look at the contemporary city. The "historicity" is, in fact, a value attributed to portions of territory, to building/monuments of a past, also recent, that are considered such for rarity, testimony, beauty. Consequently the first problem is the recognition of the "historical city"; that involve individualization and interpretation of the existing values with the purpose to give new functions and roles to those parts of city. The whole the knowledge implicates a new urban project, new tools of intervention and new planning procedures, according to the demands expressed from the urban communities of the Mediterranean Basin, in Italy and particularly, also in Libya.
