Development of a Multidisciplinary Approach

Abstract

This chapter argues that a multidisciplinary approach leads to a constructive comparison between the legacy of the historical-memorial processes immanent to the city and territory and the current visible forms of the landscape, which are the result of such processes. From silent to speaking territory which is seat of collective identity, starring role of the process of identification of a community, able to show its vocations and to direct its transformations. In such territory, there’s the city. From the Mediterranean sacred city inside the temenos or sacred enclosure, which differentiated what is interior (sacre) and external (heathen) to the enclosure, to the current city which is the result of historical stratification and must be open to the territory and its transformations. A multidisciplinary approach is a must be blueprint to new urban planning, the only one able to intercept contemporary complexity and to canalize it in the urban project.
