This book discusses urban public spaces and, more specifically, run-down, inactive micro-spaces that are barely used due to their location, dimensions, morphology or semantic characteristics. In literature, these spaces are often defined as "residual urban spaces." A large abandoned industrial area on the outskirts of a town or a small interstitial space in a historical centre can be residual. With respect to such a broad subject matter, the book seeks to radically limit the field, concentrating on public residual spaces found in the oldest parts of cities. The book reflects on this theme and introduces a method for reading and assessment of the residuality of public spaces in historical contexts (Residuality Assessment Process) which was tested in the historical centre of Florence. It is the authors' view that residual spaces, above all if designed according to a system logic, can go from being problems to potential activators of urban and social regeneration processes, offering a useful contribution to improve city life. 517 $aSmall Forgotten Places in the Hearth of Cities 606 $aPublic spaces 615 0$aPublic spaces. 676 $a307.76 700 $aLauri?a$b Antonio$0343722 702 $aVesella$b Luigi 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910572199403321 996 $aSmall forgotten places in the heart of cities$93363716 997 $aUNINA
