Synopsis: Through a comprehensive examination of many international architecture projects, this book offers a compelling new vision for modern living and contemporary architecture. The main purpose of this volume is to present the many projects undertaken around the world to reclaim land or return to productive use portions of territories that over the past century have suffered the ravages of industrialization or other types of transformation or development. A secondary purpose is to set out an informed itinerary of possibilities for reinventing altered spaces, exploited areas or impoverished settings through multidisciplinary projects. The book examines remediated sites, reclaimed quarries, former landfills, terrains vagues, unused spaces that have been recognised in the last twenty years as potential venues for the development of new social, economic and environmental assets.
