The paper addresses the issue of the sustainable future of cities framed within the processes of redevelopment of the built heritage and urban regeneration. In light of the new needs linked to the international scenario of ecological transition, the topic is developed by investigating the role that urban development and regeneration policies play in defining scenarios that are able to give a vision for a smarter, more sustainable and inclusive development of the European city of the future. Within this framework, one of the actions to be urgently undertaken in our cities is the reuse of soils − with the reconversion or reuse of abandoned or unused areas, etc. − as a key strategy to contribute to the reduction of land consumption and to oppose settlement dispersion. As a contribution of the teaching and research activities of the course of Architecture and Architectural Composition III of the Degree Course in Building Engineering-Architecture of the University of Salerno, a design research is presented for the disused railway area of ex “scalo merci” of Salerno. The project proposals presented work on the relationship between urban morphology and the hypothesis of sustainable urban regeneration by proposing three different scenarios for a unitary but internally articulated part of the city, which refer to as many ideas of the city, in which different ways of putting in tension the relationship between nature and architecture are experimented.

Abstract
The paper addresses the issue of the sustainable future of cities framed within the processes of redevelopment of the built heritage and urban regeneration. In light of the new needs linked to the international scenario of ecological transition, the topic is developed by investigating the role that urban development and regeneration policies play in defining scenarios that are able to give a vision for a smarter, more sustainable and inclusive development of the European city of the future. Within this framework, one of the actions to be urgently undertaken in our cities is the reuse of soils − with the reconversion or reuse of abandoned or unused areas, etc. − as a key strategy to contribute to the reduction of land consumption and to oppose settlement dispersion. As a contribution of the teaching and research activities of the course of Architecture and Architectural Composition III of the Degree Course in Building Engineering-Architecture of the University of Salerno, a design research is presented for the disused railway area of ex “scalo merci” of Salerno. The project proposals presented work on the relationship between urban morphology and the hypothesis of sustainable urban regeneration by proposing three different scenarios for a unitary but internally articulated part of the city, which refer to as many ideas of the city, in which different ways of putting in tension the relationship between nature and architecture are experimented.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
