Abstract

Starting from the Ivan Blečić and Arnaldo Cecchini book “Verso una pianificazione antifragile” [1], this paper will identify main arguments that: (i) help to deal with the conflicts of a complex society that weakens the connections between pieces of society; (ii) recognize in Z. Bauman thought the elements of concern that characterize the liquidity of our society and its negative connection with urban and regional planning; (iii) highlight in “anti-fragile planning” an innovation instance for the discipline promoting new approaches that starting from the reduction of territorial vulnerability (resistent), are able to promote the regeneration of utility functions (resilient) by involving local communities in a collective form of creativity strategic development form. In one word: anti-fragile.
