ABSTRACT

The Code of cultural heritage and landscape, known as “Codice Urbani” (DLG 42/2004), defines the Archaeological Park as an important archaeological proof. This definition gives life to a project which Brescia Municipality is working on, in order to create the Archaeological Urban Park of the Historic Center of Brescia.

The article retraces the work done to build the system of knowledge that supports the design of the park.

The aim of this project is to promote compatible actions that will aim to promote the site strengths and will create a scenario of sustainable development based on the site peculiarities.

The analyses have been conducted with the help of GIS software that allows the creation of databases. This information establishes the beginning towards the development of design solutions focused on a better use of urban spaces and monuments by pedestrians.
