The paper focuses on the research identity’s issue and the multidisciplinary approach through the case studies of the new urban agriculture landscape in Monteruscello, a mass housing neighborhood built in the 1980s in the city of Pozzuoli (South Italy). The research explored design solutions for an infrastructure characterized by the integration between technical issues about the water supply purpose and landscape issues, including new paths, open air areas, and micro-architectures connected to the water. The project involves approximately 50 hectares of uncultivated land that are now fragments of empty and degraded spaces in the neighborhood. Their size and location, so interstitial to the residential complexes and on the boundaries of the urban pattern, emphasize their potential to be transformed in a unique continuum productive landscape connecting different parts of the district now strongly detached and disconnected. The research concerns new urban strategies for the valorization of the neighborhood, taking in account the lost relationships with its geography and its traditional urban and rural environment.

Abstract
The paper focuses on the research identity’s issue and the multidisciplinary approach through the case studies of the new urban agriculture landscape in Monteruscello, a mass housing neighborhood built in the 1980s in the city of Pozzuoli (South Italy). The research explored design solutions for an infrastructure characterized by the integration between technical issues about the water supply purpose and landscape issues, including new paths, open air areas, and micro-architectures connected to the water. The project involves approximately 50 hectares of uncultivated land that are now fragments of empty and degraded spaces in the neighborhood. Their size and location, so interstitial to the residential complexes and on the boundaries of the urban pattern, emphasize their potential to be transformed in a unique continuum productive landscape connecting different parts of the district now strongly detached and disconnected. The research concerns new urban strategies for the valorization of the neighborhood, taking in account the lost relationships with its geography and its traditional urban and rural environment.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
