Public ethics and urban spaces

Naples as a centre of development and human relations must choose amongst the relational goods: friendship, cultural exchange, mobility, sports, green spaces etc. or goods which reflect "land situation rent": the size and quality of the houses, monetary wealth, automobiles etc. to go towards a model in modern society where the increase in income is in contrast with the increase in well-being. Conservation and regeneration of the city fabric depend on the cultural orientation which its citizens have attained coming from the great ideals of social justice, liberty and democratic participation; these terms are also related to the choice between free market and "civil economy" which should aim at the common well-being, reserving for ethics the place of a renewed protagonist role.
