The document summarizes the development of Rome as the capital city of Italy from the 19th century onwards. Key events include the construction of the first rail lines in the 1850s-1860s connecting Rome to other cities, which spurred new development. In the 1870s, Rome became the capital after being conquered and its medieval layout was transformed through new districts and infrastructure projects. During the fascist period of Mussolini, large urban planning projects reshaped the city center and new areas like EUR and the Foro Italico sports complex were constructed. After World War 2, Rome expanded further through new suburban districts connected by improved public transport.

How the London UNDERGROUND shaped LondonJIM MUKERJEE
The "London Underground" is celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2013. This presentation describes the initial trials and tribulations, dogged tenacity, and miraculous triumphs that transformed transportation, and people's lives, in Victorian London. Even today, the "UNDERGROUND" roundel logo, the "Tube Map", and imaginative posters, are instantly recognized worldwide as iconic symbols of one of the greatest cities of the world, steeped in history, culture, and commerce!
This presentation gives a complete detail about the Evolution, Expansion, Culture, Architectural Styles, Political and Infrastructural development of Italy
As Bilbao in the Basque Country, Spain, began to grow, its two bridges become inadequate: the old bridge of San Antón and the San Francisco chain suspension bridge by architect Antonio de Goicoechea (1827, the second built in Spain). The process of building a new bridge began with the presentation of a plan by the same architect at a city council meeting on 20 May, 1844. Spain’s Ministry of the Interior later imposed a series of technical conditions concerning abutments and piers. Above all, the Ministry insisted that the centralarch be raised.
Until now, the only remaining bridge in Spain with a cast-iron structure was assumed to the Isabella II bridge (also known as the Triana bridge) in Seville. Indeed, the Seville bridge is the best surviving example of a type begun by French engineer Polonceau in 1834 when he built the sadly long-since disappeared Carrousel bridge in Paris.

2. Before Italy’s unification
• Pius IX first introduced the railways to
Rome
• The first stretch, Rome-Frascati, was
inaugurated in 1856, followed by
Rome-Civitavecchia in1867
• A central railway station was built in
the Esquilino area
• Termini Station, opened in 1867, and
the creation of via Nazionale, started
the city’s first modern development
3. The 1870s
• Rome was conquered with the
breach of Porta Pia in 1870
• The city still showed the medieval
appearance Sisto V had given it
• The new government wanted to
transform the city into the future
capital of the kingdom.
• Space was needed to build new
districts
4. Rome Capital of Italy
• The first urban development took place in
the Northeast of the city
•A district at the foot of the Vatican was
built: Prati, so named since the Middle Ages
for its fertile fields
• Prati was planned in such a way that there
was no open view of St. Peter’s dome, to
symbolize the tension between the
kingdom of Italy and the Vatican
• Other works were carried out
• the embankment of the Tiber
• the expansion of the sewer system and the
water system
• the construction of ministries headquarters
5. Post World War I
•After World War I another important urban
development was planned
•The Southern areas should have been connected to
Ostia by a never built navigable canal, to give the city a
commercial port
• Houses for harbour workers should also have been
built
• With the Fascist Régime urban plans changed
•The construction style changed too
• In the first years of 20th century they wanted to build
cottages
• In the fascist period they built bigger and taller blocks
of flats
6. Fascist period
•During Mussolini's
dictatorship the city center
was renovated
•The reason was strictly
symbolic
• Mussolini wanted to isolate
the ancient monuments and
make them a “tower over the
necessary solitude”
•The same thing had already
been done in Paris and in
other European cities
7. Fascist period
• Following this idea the most important work was the creation of Via della Conciliazione
• This roads allowed people to see St Peter’s from a very big distance
• It cancelled the studies upon perspective made by Bernini
• The artist wanted people to see St Peter's square after walking across a tangle of small streets
• The street was too large so two lines of obelisks, the “Lanternischi”, were positioned along the way
8. Fascist period
• The other important change was in
Piazza Venezia and around the
Roman Forum
• Crumbling houses were demolished
to permit the view of ancient ruins
• Via dell'Impero (now Via dei Fori
Imperiali), connecting the Coliseum
to Piazza Venezia was created
9. EUR
• The construction of the E42
area began under the
Fascist Régime
• The district was built for the
Universal Exposition of 1942
• Today this area is called EUR
and it's famous for its
modern architecture
10. •The Universal Exposition was
called off due to the beginning of
World War II
• The area was finished after the
end of World War II
•The fascist project wanted to
connect the new district to
Termini Station by an
underground line
•In the 30s they began to build the
first underground line in Rome
11. EUR
• EUR expanded for the 1960 Olympics
• At present EUR is the city’s financial center and one of the biggest in Italy
• It houses many major bank headquarters and that of the Italian Post
Office

12. Foro Italico
• It’s a sports complex in the Northern
area of the city built by Mussolini
between 1927 and 1933
• To build the Forum many houses
were demolished and the inhabitants
were forced to move to the suburbs
• During the fascist period it was
known as Mussolini’s Forum
• Sports were one of the most
important features of fascist
propaganda
• The myth of young fit Italians was in
the party's political guidelines
13. Foro Italico
• Foro Italico houses the Olympic Stadium, the
Marbles Stadium, Tennis Courts and an
Olympic Swimming pool
• The entrance is a long boulevard paved with a
black and white mosaic and a marble obelisk

Garden Cities

the best-known comedy
theatres, Teatro Ambra
• The district rose to nationwide
fame in 2006 when it was
chosen as the set of a famous
Italian TV Series “The Cesaroni”
• This led to a boost in the area
real estate market
16. Present time
• After World War II the city saw a great urban expansion with the building of many new districts
• The targated areas were
• Tuscolana, Casilina, the areas near the Aniene river, Monte Mario
