JO - TERRITORIO DA - 9/15/2013 12:00:00 AM DO - 10.3280/TR2013-066016 UR - http://www.francoangeli.it/Riviste/Scheda_rivista.aspx?idArticolo=49106 AU - Bozzuto, Paolo SP - 73 EP - 80 IS - 66 VL - LA - IT AB - Despite the great diffusion, thanks to the Internet, of services and tools for observing communities, and despite the multiplication of events designed to publicise disciplinary production, a break is perceivable more than ever today between world view in the imagination of Italian urban planners and that in the imagination of the general public: the main medium by which inhabitants with no expert knowledge construct their questions and their relationship with towns, cities and the community. One of the prime needs that contemporary urban planning has in Italy, if it is to try and reconstruct the fertile relationship with public discourse, is precisely that of defining a borderline area of research within which it is possible, tactically, to build a space for relationships between the ideas in the viewpoint of the general public and those of that ‘foreign country’ constituted by disciplinary practices and thinking today.
