The High Line is one of the interventions that has most marked the image of contemporary New York by generating a new tourism process. An intervention that arises from the redevelopment of an abandoned infrastructure and which, before becoming an architectural masterpiece, was wanted by the citizens. A real change from below that the book by Matteo Zambelli, Henrique Pessoa Alves The High Line of New York. A park in the sky (Mimesis, 2012) clearly describes, emphasizing the social significance of this reconquest of public space.
Sustainable tourism, the collective meaning of public space and the new role of architecture for citizens will be at the center of the meeting, which will try to find lines of comparison and useful ideas for the future of Florence and its tourism offer.
