Abstract
This final chapter, on the basis of the previous analysis, proposes project strategies that allow the planning of the system of open spaces and the restructuring of the urban territory, thus creating combined strategies for open and occupied spaces and reinforcing the relationship between planning and design. The objective is to maintain and develop the dynamics of the open spaces and relate open spaces to each other and structure the urban occupation. Thus, the project strategies are suggestions for the planning of open spaces and an opportunity to restructure the territory, and involve the following.

Notes
- 1.
We need new tools since the various tools already available are no longer able to work with long-term goals and processes and alternative scenarios. The plans may not be general but selective, seeking to multiply the effects of a few strategically chosen interventions. The processes proposed are more circular than linear, and more globally strategic than definitive. We have already become accustomed to working on hypotheses that are in continuous revision, rather than on assumptions that remain unchanged.
Maybe we need a new approach that comprises interactive methodology, project management, verification, and adjustment to address problems specific to each situation and to offer solutions and progressive context.
In spatial planning, one may need to take lessons offered by successful urban projects and differentiate essential structural elements from other proposals that evolve and adapt in time and are subject to redefinition by taking a closer view. (Sabaté 2000, p. 96, translated from the original)
