Project NeT-TOPIC first Thematic Seminar : "Driving forces of urban cohesion"
Edited on
09 October 2017The "NeT-TOPIC" URBACT project is organising its First Thematic Seminar next 20-21st May in Sesto San Giovanni in Italy, under the title "Driving forces of urban cohesion - Recovering abandoned and obsolete industrial areas and avoiding fragmentation and urban division in peripherical cities in metropolitan areas".
In practice all cities belonging to NeT-TOPIC suffer of fragmentation and lack of urban cohesion and territorial integration as a result of the road and railroads infrastructures that cross their areas. At the same time, their industrial background supposes the existence of areas and urban spaces that need to be recovered and reintegrated in the diversified and complex new post industrial city model, if the city wants to find and develop a new city pattern, with more cohesion, identity and quality of life for their habitants. During this first thematic seminar it is planned to focus the reflection and the debate on physical issues of urban transformation and mainly on recovering abandoned urban areas and transforming infrastructures that suppose a real fragmentation of the city.
