Knowledge as a prodromal action for urban regeneration and sustainable development: the case study of Municipality of Fondi

Retracing the process of forming the Knowledge Framework (KF) of the Ital-ian Municipality of Fondi, this research aims to describe the methodology used to cope with the necessity to recount all those disturbances that, in dynamic modern times, animate spaces and relationships, giving the territo-ry multiple identities, interdependent and with uncertain edges. Combined with analyses of structures that are by nature more defined, the text deals with comparisons with other planning processes in force in Italy, reinter-preting some parts of them and transposing them to the study area, through the filter provided by the analysis tools of Regional Design. This reading aims to stimulate new reflections and ideas, not only within the governing bodies, but also to the community, providing a framework capable of inno-vating the KF by recognizing it, not only as an analytical process, but also as a fundamental urban planning tool.
