Recent studies in urban and architectural literature highlight the low design quality of contemporary urban spaces and the resulting need to promote a new culture of urban design. Such a research should follow exploration paths pointed at codifying new compositional languages, expressions of a contemporary ‘aesthetic’ dimension as outcome of the complex and changing spatial relations among the various structural components of settlement (economic, socio-cultural and ecological), and able to produce quality urban spaces. To this end, new urban transformation practices are also being promoted, based on extreme demolition and reconstruction processes of city areas with remarkable problems. The topic of demolition and reconstruction of city parts, however, is not lacking critical elements: among them, the dislocation of local communities, the high economic and time costs, the uncertain quality of the new urban designs replacing the old fabrics. The experience here presented, regarding a complex operation, presently underway, of demolition and reconstruction of a council housing area in the urban district of Sant’Ermete, Pisa, represents a model summary of the strength and weakness elements of this kind of operations.
