The Ghetto of Mezzanone and its recovery as a territorial productive area
We want to reverse in a positive way a situation of territorial degradation, transforming the shantytown and the sadness of a reception centre for migrants, exploited in Capitanata’s agriculture, into a first level agro-food production area.
We transform the abandoned and worst used Mezzanone airport grounds into a territorial promise of relaunch, which connects the large area of Capitanata with the vast territorial resources, especially agricultural resources. We propose an industrial area, which fits into the ASI Industrial Development Plan of the Area, which, although dated, has constituted the prodrome of a great organic network of homogenizing territorial development.

TERRITORY, FOOD AND CITY
In continuity with previous editions, this year Confcommercio-Imprese per l’Italia contributes to Urbanpromo by proposing a reflection on the social role of local commerce and public businesses and on the relationship between food culture, city and territory, also in terms of urban regulation.
The health emergency of Covid-19 made clear the importance of the widespread presence of economic activities in the urban fabric, both for the service offered to citizens and for their nature as places of social exchange, but at the same time it underlined the fragility of this widespread economic heritage and the need to safeguard it. For…
THE REGENERATION OF THE ERP DISTRICTS IN MILAN IN THE CONTEXT OF THE TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENT PLAN
The themes of urban requalification and regeneration have long been at the centre of public debate throughout Europe and even in Milan, on the wave of a dynamism that is profoundly transforming the face of the city.
The “General Report: Milan 2030 – Vision, Construction, Strategies, Spaces” of the new PGT of Milan indicates “selective densification” as a tool to “enhance its [Milan’s] identities starting from environmental, economic and social specificities”. It states that “The Milan of the future wants to regenerate itself in order to grow in a conscious way, in the sign of urban and territorial quality built…

NEW URBAN GHETTOS : YEAR 2020
Stefano Stanghellini, URBIT President
Two years ago Urbanpromo dealt with the complex and delicate issue of “urban ghettos”, conceived as a circumscribed portion of a city that has found itself involved in a process of urban and building degradation, inhabited by people in conditions of social and economic precariousness, and consequently very exposed to social conflicts and illegal activities. The qualification of “new” means that the ghettos to which it refers are the effect of contemporary demographic and economic dynamics: at a certain point in their history these pieces of city have taken a completely different evolutionary direction from…
