Sixty years after the Second Vatican Council Vatican, the call is devoted to scrutinizing the future of the relationship between churches and cities, considering the radical changes in social structure, the acceleration of secularized society towards a post-secularized one, and the definitive distinction between civil and religious communities, and between religion and Christianity: what form, role and model for new churches (and especially parish centers) in the cities of today and tomorrow? The idea of the parish complex needs not only a revision of its spatial conformation but also of its legal and management model, to allow for a different organization and an effective and substantial new distribution of responsibilities. This initiative proposes a critical review of the figure and role of parish complexes to an update on the spatial articulation, management and planning models for parish complexes suited to the conditions of contemporary cities.
