Between preservation and transformation. First considerations about the recovery of the peep districts in Parma
Abstract
The regeneration policy of the PEEP districts, can contribute to the enrichment of the theoretical framework formulated for the protection of the heritage of the Modern Movement. In 2011, the Municipality of Parma, showing a new awareness in relation to assets until now rarely considered, devices a specific field of study within its structural urbanistic plan. In the absence of a regulatory framework of reference, it is crucial to build up the appropriate frameworks of knowledge directed to operational decisions. This can be done by specifically dedicated archives to which to entrust with the definition of a body of rules of urban planning and housing tailored to the particularities of these settlements and to the real questions of transformation that can arise in them.
