Abstract

The International Federation for Housing and Town Planning (IFHTP) congresses in the period between the two wars represented one of the most relevant spheres of debate on the design and construction of the modern city. In addition to drawing a general outline of Italy's contributions to the IFHTP congresses between the early Twenties and late Thirties, this article will reflect on some of the thematic issues that clearly emerged, especially from the 1929 Rome congress. It concerns the role of multi-storey apartment building in the construction of the modern city, the adaptation of historic town centres to the needs of modernity, the expansion of the historic city and the relationship with the landscape. Themes on which certain Italian protagonists (Cesare Chiodi, Gustavo Giovannoni and Luigi Piccinato to name but a few) have made contributions to modern international town planning culture which, albeit controversial for many reasons, seem significant and not devoid of original content.
