Exploring New theories or metodologies or application case studies of urban design in Contemporary form of our cities and metropolitan areas.
Fabrizio Zanni (Conference Referee) The physical support to human activities is, as we well know, as more complex and stratified than ever before. On the basis of the Roman centuriatio, that had replaced the primitive ingens silva and had reclaimed the marshland of Padania (Northern Italy), a structure that can still be seen today in many areas of Lombardia, urban and non urban signs often contradictory have overlapped throughout the centuries, often repeating the same background.

The development of digital technologies (internet, virtual interaction), transport development changed life habits and life style in urban regions. The social profile of society is being transformed as well as urban life style. Mass culture with its huge amount of products, techniques has dominated life in many aspects. One of them is the leisure product. The development of exhibition and quasi art spaces (more commercially than art oriented) in recent years shows that urban leisure becomes more and more important.
Need for individual spaces, new objects, new places, new spots on the urban map grows and welcomes new manifestos of architecture as new signs in urban landscape. Mass media greets every manifesto loud enough to warrant it's commercial success. Mass culture landscape gets its iconic landmarks.

La plática con este tema girará alrededor de las reflexiones entorno a la polémica sobre la inserción de estructuras arquitectónicas contemporáneas en los conjuntos llamados históricos, así como la transformación del tejido urbano.
It is a ew polemic discussion among the conservation field, the introduction of contemporary architecture or intervention in historic areas. To discuss the cohabitation between both realities could be the "point de départ" for the cities in the XXI century.
3. Matheus Gorovitz The construction of both capital cities, Chandigarh and Brasilia, is part of a broader and long cherished political project by their respective countries. This projects aims at the self determination and assertiveness of the concept of nationality, a yearning definitively set off by the physical demarcation of a power center. The research here proposed intends to acknowledge the existence of this purpose in the plan design; design intended as designium.

Majority of investigations that are carried out on the waterfront developments are focusing on the opportunities of redeveloping the old abandon port facilities and their related activities and functions. The new rhetoric in waterfront planning policy guidance is not just physical development but it is also accompanied by the reiteration of the social and economic rejuvenation of the area. The significance of the design process lies evidently on the social, economic and cultural issues for that is noticeably abandoned in the research investigations. The paper takes the opportunity to investigate the important aspects of planning and compares different case studies with a detail case study that is expressed as a comprehensive model for port design.

The city area under K.C.C. (Khulna City Corporation) covers about 45.65 sq. km. of land stretching from Badamtala beside Jessore road on the bank of river Bhairab on the north. Dakbanglow and its adjacent areas are the main business center of the city. This CBD (central business district) is sited on the river Bhairab, which is a cluster of activities, and characterized by dilapidated historic buildings, congested circulation system, unplanned urban spaces and indiscriminant utilization of riverfront. The present state of development of the area is associated with the massive congestion of traffic both vehicular and pedestrian generated by different activities. The preceding study intends to identify the present urban issues that should be considered for revitalizing this city center. This study also provides guidelines to redevelop the physical and structural statues of the CBD.
6. Nadine Samaha Planned urban design in western societies have been subject to many changes in the last decades, whether to accommodate the changes in transport in interactive places or in new habitat.
Spontaneous Urban design mainly in the Eastern socieities have adapted better with the new changes.

Proliferation of digital technology, especially digital-wireless and broadband technology have change the way human life: their lifestyles, their relationship, their behavior, the way they works, their socio-culture and the way they communicate or interact with others.
From those facts as starting point, this project takes Urban Nomads as the main topic (the topic was inspired from the way of Gypsies life, how they lives, socialize and built their own community).
9. Massimo Tadi
The air of the city makes you free. This incisive sentence was engraved on the city walls of Mainz to assert
its pride to those who entered the town from the surrounding countryside for the weekly market, and who
became temporarily part of an exclusive as well as attractive society, based on a voluntary association and
provided with clear symbolic-representative forms of collective identification.
10. Fabrizio Zanni
The current formal structure of a contemporary city is one of the main subjects of current theoretical and experimental elaboration. The paradigms, the concepts, the disciplinary subjects developed to understand, explain and to face the current settlement condition in terms of development are very different and often contradictory.
