Abstract
Aim of this presentation was to stress the utmost importance of
gaining insight in the physical-spatial quality and context of the
urban fabric as a whole before venturing out into the realm of
transformation design proposals. Large-scale areas or confined
objects alike, the quality of the urban frame is precondition to the
socioeconomic efficacy of the programme in question and the role and position of public spaces such as squares, parks, (main)
streets and urban axes.
