R. Riboldazzi, Getting the Root of the Crisis of Urbanity. The Debate on Urban Open Spaces in the IFHTP Congresses between the two wars, Planum I(2012)
This paper focuses on the modern urban open spaces design culture. Its field of investigation is the International Federation for Housing and Town Planning congresses held between the two wars. Without claiming to be exhaustive, either from a theoretical or historical point of view, and starting from statements from some of the protagonists of debate on town planning in those years, it aims to grasp some of the reasons for the crisis of urbanity in the cities we live in, at the same time hypothesising some possible lines of research.
