ABSTRACT
A radical change well-expressed through the Mumford quotation: “The goal is not «more goods for more consumers», but «more life’s possibility for more men»” (1970, p. 455).
During the last forty years, the advances in the sustainability issues overcame the building size in favour of the environment (Garofalo, 2003; Droge, 2006, Lehmann, 2008). In this broader scenario, the city is considered as a small part of a breakable ecosystem through which it feeds itself and develops (Rees, 1997; Scandurra, 1995).
