Sports architecture. Influences and contemporary codes of urban regeneration

Sports architecture is a place par excellence. Powerful and recognisable typological presence within the urban fabric, container of multiple emotional dynamics and icon of the city network, it identifies an element subject to profound reflections within the debate and actions that involve urban systems and their structure. The history of civilisations and places conveys the importance of the role that the culture of sport and the cultured management of free time has played in defining the identity of communities and peoples. Elevating these areas to cultural assets to be shared and enhanced, analysing the effects that the scenario expresses on the transformation of the city and the territory, identifies a stimulating action with full-fledged relevance, faithful to a vision that translates the political-decision-making act into a cultural instrument with high socio-economic potential.
