Roman impressions: contemporary city planning and housing in Rome
Abstract Since 1870, when Rome was established as the capital of a unified Italy, four general plans have guided its development. The first plan (1883) guided initial growth. In 1909, a liberal plan was initiated, and in 1931 there was a third plan embodying Fascist perspectives. The most recent master plan, still influencing development, was formulated in 1962. A key feature of this plan, the Asse Attrezatto or ‘equipped axis’, was to draw commercial, industrial, and residential development away from the historic center of the city. Owing to strong political disagreement with fundamental issues, the axis has not been executed. Nevertheless, the city has made a considerable achievement in relieving acute housing shortages brought on by rapid urban population growth, between 1945 and 1980.
