From the mid-nineteenth century to today, the criteria for designing urban open spaces have changed, they have adapted to new social needs, new cultural directions, new urban development, moving from criteria based on “scenographic-decorative” characteristics to a vision in which the park, the greenery are no longer isolated elements, but rather parts of the city itself. This book verifies the field experimentation of design experiences such as squares and/or green spaces surrounded by a dense urban development, neighborhood gardens and parks, children’s playgrounds, school greenery, green areas for sports, historic greenery, greenery for residences, urban gardens. The composition of the projects has been directed towards “quality” objectives, intending the project not as a more or less successful assembly of different functions, but as a unit architecture, with its own identity, as an expression of a cultural choice and of our contemporaneity.
