The construction industry, as we know, produces the greatest damages to the environment in all of its phases: from the preparation of raw materials and components to the construction site to the use and operation of what is built. The projects selected for this issue present a vast range of situations in which the principles of recycling are applied not only to buildings, dilapidated areas or entire landscapes. They also demonstrate the ability to trigger virtuous processes of regeneration extended to the broader physical, social and economic context. Furthermore, this logic assigns the architect a determinant role in controlling the diverse phases.

Water as a symbolic factor, an integral part of architectural composition; water as infrastructure innervating the city and
territory with which it establishes relations of reciprocal interaction; water as a resource for re-establishing environmental
equilibriums in anthropic territories: these are just some of the principal themes explored in the selection of projects presented in this issue. United with functional questions and necessities linked with aesthetic suggestions bound to water, these aspects are offering important occasions for experiments, prefiguring new and more sustainable urban scenarios.

The texts and projects presented in this issue reflect and question on a common vision of mobility infrastructures, as elements of a complex system, inseparable from the territories they traverse and responsible for the quality of urban space and the lives of citizens. Many of the themes coming to light under this vision are centred less on infrastructure as a technical-functional device and more on the notion of constructions with the ability to cast the form of the city according to a logic of interconnection that embraces all scales.

The selection of projects presented in this issue, as well as the introductory essays, open to a broad debate on the theme of housing and urban densification, prefiguring alternative development scenarios to the current trend. A trend that, by reducing people to mere users of standardized housing solutions, that responds to market logics, produces increasingly congested cities. Cities that need to be rethought starting from density, considered as a qualitative rather than a quantitative parameter.
