I Piani di Ricostruzione in Italia: da strumenti per l’emergenza ad occasione per ripensare alla città

Known as urgent operational tools, the Reconstruction Plans in Italy are set up in 1945 to deal with the destructions that occurred during the war. Analyzing them in details, they present a variety of approaches linked to contingent factors; these define plan setting and significantly affect Italian cities with heterogeneous results. The paper investigates contacts between the normative framework and the theoretical debate of those years, and evidences how their modus operandi cannot be generalized but requires a redefinition in the collective consciousness.
