In the course of history in fact, the two cities have demonstrated their ability to deal with difficulties responding convincingly full of dynamism and transformation. While making the proper proportions, we can say that the recipe put in the proper proportions, we can say that the recipe fielded by Berlin during the post-war reconstruction is very similar to the one chosen from Turin to face the industrial crisis; in both cases, urban renewal has been accompanied and guided by a cultural regeneration of the area. Two metropolitan contexts for different size and vicissitudes that have chosen to deal with the problems of changing skin, becoming training grounds for the future.
