Borgate romane. Storia e forma urbana [The borgate of Rome: history and urban form]

Projects’ catalytic potentials are the key agents of urban change throughout the book’s history, particularly during the period of the last 50 years that it focuses on. Busquets’s quote could very well serve as a guiding motto throughout the first three sections of Urban Visions. In the final section, however, the dematerialization of the urban object as agent into larger biophysical systems and more ephemeral ‘intangible landscape values’ (15) and programmes are left open-ended. The editors connect Landscape Urbanism to familiar antecedents in Regionalism, Ecology, and the parks tradition – Patrick Geddes, Ian McHarg, Lewis Mumford, Frederick Olmstead – and cite those projects often conjured to explain the intensified urban expectations of landscape’s organizational, aesthetic, and performative functions. One senses, however, that the editors, and perhaps the disciplines, are still learning how to properly historicize the contemporary moment. Urban Visions presents us with a fascinating x-ray of the past one hundred years of city-building, and it will serve as an important reference for students and professionals across many cultures.
