La città termale rappresenta un laboratorio urbanistico che riflette le trasformazioni sociali e culturali. Salsomaggiore Terme incarna un modello di sviluppo evolutosi dal termalismo elitario a quello sociale, fino alla crisi identitaria recente. Il Piano Strategico FUTURA ridefinisce la città termale oltre il turismo tradizionale, proponendo un sistema urbano integrato, sostenibile e multifunzionale. La città viene interpretata come un organismo eteronomo, in cui natura e cultura si intrecciano con infrastrutture e innovazione tecnologica. La strategia di rigenerazione si basa sulla valorizzazione degli spazi pubblici, sulla mobilità sostenibile e sulle nuove polarità urbane. Il Masterplan promuove connessioni fisiche e immateriali, ridefinendo l’identità della città attraverso la cultura del tempo libero, lo sport come motore di inclusione e la diversificazione delle funzioni urbane. La bellezza, l’arte urbana e la formazione emergono come strumenti per il rilancio. FUTURA propone una città policentrica, in cui la contaminazione di saperi e la sintesi progettuale creano un paesaggio dinamico e innovativo, orientato alla qualità della vita e alla sostenibilità.

Abstract
The spa town represents an urban planning laboratory that reflects broader social and cultural transformations. Salsomaggiore Terme embodies a model of development that has evolved from elite spa tourism to socially oriented thermalism, culminating in a recent crisis of identity. The FUTURA Strategic Plan redefines the spa town beyond traditional tourism, proposing an integrated, sustainable and multifunctional urban system. The city is interpreted as a heteronomous organism in which nature and culture intertwine with infrastructure and technological innovation. The regeneration strategy is based on the enhancement of public spaces, sustainable mobility and the development of new urban focal points. The Masterplan promotes both physical and intangible connections, redefining the city's identity through a culture of leisure, sport as a driver of social inclusion, and the diversification of urban functions. Beauty, urban art and education emerge as key instruments for revitalisation. FUTURA envisions a polycentric city in which the cross-fertilisation of knowledge and the synthesis of design approaches contribute to the creation of a dynamic and innovative landscape, oriented towards quality of life and sustainability.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
