The aim will be that of understanding in which way, and to what extent these powers are capable of conditioning regional transformation processes. The research will concurrently analyse their possible effects on physical spaces and on the ways of usage of the city and the territory. It also asks questions such as, what is the responsibility of the planner, and what will his future role be, in view of all of this? |
