Abstract
In this paper, we shall analyse urban transformation in brownfield sites, with a peculiar focus on the ex-industrial area of Italsider in Bagnoli, in the west zone of the city of Naples. We shall consider the process that has led to the ratification of the urban plan and the present developments. Which is the image of this urban change in mental maps of citizens? Which is the role of sociology in this process? We will try to propose a study of this case based upon some interviews and the sociological analysis of the urban design.
