Learning from Covid-19. Sustainable strategies for the regeneration of peripheral areas

What does the pandemic teach us about the future of cities? The violence with which the pandemic crisis has brought to the collective attention the fragility of urban models (designed according to established planning criteria) imposes the need for a radical change in the conception of the spaces where human life takes place, which is based on a transdisciplinary and long-term approach. In this context, through the illustration of a specific case study developed within the PINQuA Program (National Innovative Program for the Quality of Living), the contribution proposes a system of experimental regeneration strategies based on unusual techniques such as demolition, superfetation and forestation, imagining a model of sustainable city capable of responding and evolving in a flexible manner to the emergence of new and unforeseen conditions.
