Objectives

“Right to the city” is an expression we can use both to summarize a way to immagine and realize architectures, urban designs, plans oriented towards urban quality of life for everyone, and the frame of norms and rules that make such actions possible.

Contents

Part 1
“Successful” experiences of participatory, tactical and micro planning and design will be the starting point for a theoretical reflection on the right to the city.

Part 2
Urban law is closely related to planning. Planning must be sensitive to differences and be able to promote the quality of urban life mainly for the weaker citizens. We will see how.
