Strategic punctual interventions create a new energy and help it to be consolidated. This is the ‘Urban Acupuncture’: it revitalizes a ‘sick’ or ‘worn out’ area and its surroundings through a simple touch in a key point. Just as in the medical approach, this intervention will trigger positive chain-reactions, helping to cure, enhance the whole system.
Many cities today need urban acupuncture because they have neglected their cultural identities; others because they have neglected their relationship with the natural environment; others still have turns their backs on the wounds left by economic activities. These neglected areas, these ‘scar marks’ are precisely the target points for the acupunctures.
