Urban planning and architecture in Modena: a project, a story. The Modena experience in the “Emilian model”

Abstract

The contribution moves from some works recently presented by the Research and Documentation on the Urban History Office of the city of Modena, which for several years held an in-depth activity and cultural information for citizens about the city and its architecture. The comparison of the paths followed in the different towns, with a particular focus on Modena, can identify some basic characteristics of regional planning and its non-linear relationship with the building production and architecture. We propose the results of this research and suggests possible further analysis, with a systematic and reconnaissance approach of the regional landscape.
