Abstract

Why is it useful to promote today a forum for the historic city of Bologna? For several years the growing and large debate on cultural disorder and decay in central pedestrian areas, gradual reduction of resident population, large difficulties for business survival, public mobility, preservation and enhancement of historical characters, monumental architecture and identity of churches and palaces, developed in different ways by researchers, administrators and citizens, found space inside and outside Bologna, with different results each time, more or less significant, in an attempt to provide new tools and methods in order to reach a deep awareness of the city. This debate never stopped, since the famous Cervellati plan: forty years of words and writings, but always with a model behind, the 1969 Plan, difficult to scratch, too famous to be forgotten, highly structured in its ideological formulation and results to be criticized.
