Planning in Face of Risk. Landscape urbanism between Vesuvius and Pompei

Pompeii and Vesuvius, are the fulcrum of a bipolar landscape. The themes of the project are waste of the metabolism of one of the most dense urbanization of Europe (with a peak of about 12.000 inhabitants/ square km of the town of Portici), mobility infrastructure in use or abandoned, or simply designed (as the new railway Park of Vesuvius), parts of the waterfront, the network of archeology, the urban sprawl, a pervasive risk. useful to define operating practices to this new urban paradigm, knowledge and design. The landscape urbanism project is a result of experimental research on this montage of materials in the Laboratory of Urban Planning of the Department of Architecture of the Second University of Naples, which made use of analytical technologies and aerial survey Laser of Benecon (Regional Competence Centre for Cultural Ecology Economy) as part of the research project named Campus Pompeii, funded by the European Community.
