La città nei manuali di pianificazione strategica

This work begins its considerations stressing the importance that strategic planning has assumed among scientific community and politicians as an innovative tool in urban government construction. Moreover, most frequently scientists, public administrators and politicians put together their experiences building a ‘community of practice’. Available studies have speeded up a systematic knowledge flown in manual book production, written not only to give some guide lines to build strategic plans but to reform the fragmented action logic; in this work the author makes a reconnaissance of these principal Italian manuals, trying to underline how they can reduce urban construction processes complexity, making them a technical activity and a skill.
