Abstract

The congresses organised by the International Federation for Housing and Town
Planning throughout the 20th century always revealed the urban development challenges of
their host cities. In 1929, at the same time as it welcomed the XII Congress, Rome tried to end
the postponement of its urban development with contradictory urban development intervention
policies in its historic centre, in order to keep its rich architectural heritage. It also made paradoxical proposals for metropolitan growth by moving disturbing elements to the periphery and including the promise to create an urban utopia, reflected in the construction of the EUR, and the territorial decentralisation carried out in the Agro Pontino. These actions marked fascist policy with regard to the capital. At the same time, Rome became an advertising object, where interventions carried out in the city were presented as the expression of a specific economic, social, and naturally political reality.
