Abstract
The chapter illustrates how the enhancement of open spaces in historic environment can create active, attractive and fully accessible new urban environments. It shows how heritage values can be considered as a great opportunity to valorise heritage in all its forms and could be used as a powerful urban design tool. Cultural heritage could be the starting point for urban design at all scales of intervention. Therefore, in terms of the existing character of place, sustainability should be the guiding principle for sustaining a core urban site, its formal configuration and social resilience. Ideally, urban spaces in historic environment they can be connected after a proper planning and design through a good open space strategy. Finally, incorporating heritage values in urban design can be a bridge between spatial planning and design and climate change adaptation. Finally, the paper identifies the major growing issues on shaping eco-sustainably inner urban spaces in historic environment giving effective responses to urban transformation process.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
