Preservación de los microcentros históricos. Problemas de reuso entre conservación y compatibilidad

Abstract
The text that is proposed for the conference will focus on the primary role played by Giovannoni in defining an original strategy for the protection and enhancement of ur- ban heritage in Italy in the early decades of the twentieth century. It is in the projects of the ten years of 1910 that he outlined the theory of thinning. This theory is offered as an alternative to the aesthetic and radical reclamation of the historic city, an urban policy still widespread in the early twentieth century.
The metropolitanisation process that affects the contemporany city, climate change, the depletion of ecological and energy sources all demand a unified, integrated and interscalar public government strategy that makes urban regeneration and the restoration of territorial balance its priorities. Such a strategy has been the benchmark for drafting the 12 priority themes of the Urban Agenda for the EU and policies that aim to promote the smart sustainability and efficiency of cities.
As part of the research and experimentation activities by the Department of Planning, Design and Technology, Sapienza University of Rome, the contribution is set in the context of the Research project “Mediterranean Europe. Strategies of urban and metropolitan rebalancing”, taking as its central theme the essential role of green infrastructures (GI) within planning processes aimed at urban and metropolitan rebalancing, and the implementation of urban and territorial regeneration strategies.
The reflection focuses on the role of historical-cultural permanences within the processes of urban regeneration, starting from the experience of the PRG ‘08 of the Municipality of Rome, which, in particular, introduces a new perspective assuming, among its priority options, the role of history for high-quality transformation and recalling, on one hand, the need for an interpretative description of the historical and cultural structure of the territory in all its expressions and specificities and, on the other, the need to reaffirm the centrality of the design dimension for the protection a
