Abstract

The work we have carried out in relation to the Action Plan of the River Contracts has been an opportunity for communication between urban planning and architectural design, to build up a territorial project. Major topics identified and a methodological proposal, the integrated multi-scale project, are discussed. The method uses a tool to provide decision-making support and an operational technique: the Action Agreement and the transecting section technique. Different participated design experiences are described to illustrate the evolution of the research.
