Rome, an exhibition at Palazzo Merulana analyzes the capital's urban regeneration

From January 18 to February 17, 2020, Palazzo Merulana in Rome hosts the exhibition Redeeming Cities - Urban Regeneration in Rome, which offers an overview of Rome’s urban and architectural scenario by means of a multidisciplinary approach: Photography, graphics, videos and realized and visionary architectural projects.

The theme of the exhibition is the urban regeneration of Rome, through the mapping of abandoned and regenerated places and with a series of meetings between professionals that stimulate participation on the largest reflection on urban regeneration ever made to the Capital.

The exhibition maps and photographs disused buildings and, at the same time, enhances the virtuous processes of regeneration by means of languages inescapable from the analysis and proposal for the city such as architecture, mobility, photography and graphics.

The exhibition is curated by Nicola Brucoli and Carlo Settimio Battisti, directors of TWM Factory, produced in collaboration with Palazzo Merulana, CoopCulture and Fondazione Elena and Claudio Cerasi.

“The theme of urban regeneration,” say the curators, “has acquired a central position in the planning of metropolises, the recovery and redevelopment of the existing built heritage and interventions in brownfield areas are necessary for a government of the territory aimed at improving the quality of life. As to be expected for such a layered body, urban regeneration has entered forcefully into the dynamics of Rome, through operations spanning architecture, urban planning and refunctionalization different pieces of the capital have been transformed. Although different in the type of intervention, in the functions (re)established and in the actors involved, the common characteristic of these projects is that they aim to generate value and create new social dynamics in urban fabrics that had lost their urban features.”
