In Configurazione urbana e società, published in 1966 by Michele Capobianco, the author investigates the dynamic interplay between the urban configuration and underlying social structures. Framing the city as both a physical-spatial system and a manifestation of societal relations, Capobianco articulates how form, function and collective life are entwined in the making of modern urban environments. The text blends urban morphology, sociology of space, and planning theory, positioning urban design not merely as a technical exercise but as a social project. The provisional nature of the edition underscores its role as a working document in the evolution of Italian urban-design pedagogy, contributing to debates on how the built environment both shapes and is shaped by social processes.
