Termoli e l’urbanistica nel secondo Novecento,

This paper proposes a reconstruction of the dynamics of cultural and territorial planning that characterized the evolution of a small Adriatic town of the central-southern Italy in the second half of the twentieth century. Termoli is presented as a case-study of particular interest to investigate the practices of cultural fusion between national policies of planning, urban design and local logics of territorial government, in one of the most marginal and less urbanized regions of Italy.
