The Industrial Development Areas.The case of Caserta

The volume presents the results of the multi-disciplinary research project PURE - Productive and Urban metabolism Resources. Eco-solutions for new lands, funded by our University with the funds of the V:ALERE project. This funding is intended to support the work of our researchers, promoting their role as principal investigators in research projects. The PURE project, led by a research group of the Department of Architecture and Industrial Design - DADI coordinated by Giuseppe Guida, has started from some research hypotheses according to which starting from what of active or abandoned remains from the phenomenon of the Industrial Development Areas there are conditions to propose redevelopment strategies and to reinterpret their role in the territory. For the DADI research team these areas can be redesigned as containers for environmental infrastructure, urban and metropolitan equipment, slow mobility routes, even wooded areas able to coexist with the production realities still present or to be installed.
