The book deals with urban reactivation a particular form of regeneration intervention which in
addition to the physical-spatial dimension of the places also-and above all-considers the
social and relational dynamics that the intervention is able to activate. In this sense the
concept of activation (or reactivation) emphasizes the act of putting something into or back
into operation whether it concerns the material components of a container (a building or a
place) or the immaterial components of a content (a need or a function) starting from the
exploitation of opportunities that the architectural project contributes to revealing
developing and accompanying.
