Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Marco Facchinetti and Marco Dellavalle have put forward incisive plans and projects built up around the two key concepts of design and feasibility, which prove truly capable of modifying reality, at least on the local scale.

The reflections developed and the projects illustrated in The Blossom Avenue show how planning is able, through the use of design and of correct, effective procedures of implementation, to affect local realities by creating evolutionary scenarios. In these scenarios, progress ensures virtuous productions and new episodes of urban quality in often fragmented areas, as well as new ways of making the most of what already exists.

In this way, planning can always be synonymous with evolution for the contexts to which it is applied.
