Abstract

The aim of this paper is to suggest guidelines for sustainable planning, understood as the union of actions relating to the building and the city. The strong connection between these two subjects requires a planning that should not travel on parallel tracks, as often happens, but it must be formed by a rational consideration of both. They have been analyzed for two types of urban fabric and, in relation to their characteristics, have been highlighted different problems. So we suggested some project solutions and use of materials that simultaneously improve the interior comfort of buildings and the urban comfort.
