Urban realities are of particular interest - as case studies - where architectural requalification and urban regeneration decline in various ways modes and forms of positive dynamics of urban organisms, generating a multiplicity of actions and reactions. In fact, these processes have a peculiar characteristic. They highlight not only the need for systematic planning, at least in the medium term, but the power of progression of interventions. A sort of ‘seriality’ that multiplies positive experiences, which corrects the less effective ones, which cyclically rethinks and updates even the cases already historicized. In this perspective, London is once again "The Unique City", certainly in very different ways from those described by Rasmussen (1934), although not entirely distant from that model of a city without a center, where conflict regulation is a given of continuity in the search for a multicentric, dynamic and controlled balance.
