AGRITETTURA URBANA NELLA CITTA' OBLIQUA DI NAPOLI

This work belongs to the specific field of research on the so-called slanting cities in which the growing processes on higher and higher levels (sometimes lower and lower) of the surrounding hill systems have produced a peculiar relationship between the building typology and the urban morphology whose final outline has carried out original models of mobility and unexpected territorial scenes. A slanting city, unlike other cities, developing horizontally or vertically, offers an urban section with uninterrupted leaps of different heights in which there is an endless expanse of roofs, whether flat or sloping, which have nearly never assumed a leading role in an organic planning of the city, both for the visual perception and for the optimization of the environmental comfort. The idea here proposed is to take possession of this great heritage of panoramic sequences made up of small and middle-sized areas, allowing private proprietors to equip them thanks to public incentives so as to give birth to a huge uninterrupted hanging garden serving as a thermoregulator, a monitoring system – both active and passive – for the atmospheric pollution, noise weakening, water cleansing; moreover, such an outline would be able to redeem these pieces of the city from the degrading condition, both visual and factual, in which they live at present, giving them a fair role in replanning the land scene of Naples, a slanting city.
