Abstract

By 2030, almost 60% of the world's population will live in urban areas and this fact, which in itself contains many other facets, shows that urbanization underway is one of the transformative trends of our century. The regeneration of the suburbs is an urban "challenge", but above all a social and environmental one. The theme of suburbs and their living becomes central again because they often represent the “city within the city” and travel at different speeds from consolidated urban centers, often representing places where numerous resources are wasted or not adequately exploited.Regenerating these spaces means re-establishing a social and environmental balance, giving value to those “urban voids” waiting to be at the service of the community and which unfortunately are associated with degradation and discrimination. An integrated and no longer sectoral vision of the qualities of spaces burst forcefully into the current scientific debate. Regenerating these places can be, as they have been in some cases in the past, an opportunity to offer the city new spaces for relationships, involving the citizen more and more and proposing a policy of positive reuse and transformation rather than land consumption. and uncontrolled urbanization. The working group will bring to attention the case study on the "Borgo la Martella" of Matera with the "aim of grasping the positive values of peasant civilization and inserting them into a reformist process of development".
