An experienced urban practitioner, Valeria Lorenzelli, has recently published a book addressing the topic of public space: Placemaking. Creare luoghi vivi, amati, attraenti (Il Sole 24 Ore).

This essay targets urban planners, administrators, and both private and institutional investors, aiming to explain what placemaking involves. It highlights the benefits of a new approach to city making that is still relatively uncommon in Italy.
