Verso nuovi scenari urbani nelle politiche di prevenzione

The paper, from a brief reflection on a research project that followed the earthquake of 1980, wants to show the results of some recent lines of work. These lines, moving from the concept of Minimum urban structure, experiment interesting formulations on prevention seismic risk, on social awareness of earthquake and on the city government. These issues were put in the centre of the political and cultural Country just by the Irpinia earthquake and all their relevance was carried out by the recent earthquake of L'Aquila.
