Il paper indaga i processi di trasformazione urbana nel settore est di Milano, il sistema normativo che li regola ed i conseguenti equilibri e squilibri che si producono, con l’obiettivo di identificarne l’esito aggregato sulla qualità urbana ed il benessere degli abitanti. Presentando il caso studio di Lambrate il paper mette a sistema le azioni e le posizioni di svariati portatori d’interesse, pubblici e privati. Ritenendo che una valutazione complessiva degli effetti finali sul benessere di Lambrate potrà esprimersi solamente quando l’intero quartiere sarà reso operativo, la ricerca sottolinea l’importanza di approcciare il tema della trasformazione considerandone simultaneamente le implicazioni spaziali e quelle temporali. Le conclusioni del testo propongono di allargare lo sguardo alla scala sovra-comunale, avviando un ragionamento coordinato tra i quartieri periferici della città e i comuni di cintura, nel tentativo di delineare una traiettoria coerente e strategicamente sostenibile di sviluppo del territorio.
This paper investigates the processes of urban transformation within the east area of Milan, the prescriptive system which regulates them and the resulting imbalances that are produced. The aim is to identify the expected results on urban quality and well-being. Through the case study of Lambrate the paper outlines the actions and positions of both public and private stakeholders. Assessing that the overall evaluation of the final results on Lambrate’s well being may be stated only when the whole settlement will be complete, the research emphasizes the importance of approaching the topic of urban transformation considering both spatial and temporal implications. A proposal to view this transformation at the metropolitan scale is recommended, as is stressing the importance of a common debate among suburban districts and external municipalities, trying to outline a coherent and sustainable development trajectory of the territory.

L'Aquila – a city of about 70,000 inhabitants located in Central Italy with an outstanding cultural heritage – was hit by a devastating quake that killed 309 people, left 50,000 homeless, and shut down entire areas of its sprawling urban system. As previously in the history of contemporary Italy, the post-quake emergency management and long-term planning have seen the deployment of an impressive array of planning efforts, governance solutions and funding initiatives. In the case of L'Aquila, the very visible affirmation of state intervention after the quake was supposed to set the scene, out of a catastrophe, for the development of the 'city of the future'. Seven years have passed now and reconstruction is on its way. GSSI doctoral students and researchers have looked at how the city that is being now produced through physical, social and economic reconstruction interventions is keeping up with that promise.

L’Aquila, a city of about 70,000 inhabitants located in central Italy, was hit by a devastating earthquake on April 6th, 2009. The disaster killed 309 people, left 50,000 homeless and shut down entire areas of its sprawling urban system.
The public debate and policy interventions that followed the disaster raised the question of what kind of city should be rebuilt. Which new visions for the city could be put forward?
Envisaging L’Aquila brings together the results of a large and articulated research project carried out at the Gran Sasso Science Institute to document the reconstruction process.
The book provides a broad overview of the emerging visions and spatial strategies unfolding at the local level, documenting the everyday life public spaces, civil society movements, and the relaunch of the knowledge economy in the local territorial system
