The growing interest on the leftovers produced by urban sprawl is a normal phenomenon also in the European planning.

If sprawl has helped to define new categories, such as the Drosscape, to describe the abandoned and unqualified territories, it now seems impossible to impose an idea of urban form, if not to a landscape scale. In this way, even the marginal contexts, urban voids or brownfields can provide important opportunities for a more sustainable development of the contemporary cities.

Abstract
The growing interest on the leftovers produced by urban sprawl is a normal phenomenon also in the European planning. The research (PIC)ITY _ Ponente Intelligent Coast builds an interpretative model of city, no longer defined by specific local conditions, but focusing on a part of the so called linear conurbation of the Latin Arc, in which the infinite city's dynamics face with weaker and more unstable realities. If sprawl has helped to define new categories, such as the Drosscape, to describe the abandoned and unqualified territories, it now seems impossible to impose an idea of urban form, if not to a landscape scale. In this way, even the marginal contexts, urban voids or brownfields can provide important opportunities for a more sustainable development of the contemporary cities.
