"Community meadows are municipally or collectively owned areas of open land that are part of the anti-monumental history of European cities. Lacking a codified urban aesthetic, they have discreetly accompanied modern urban centers throughout their formation and consolidation process. Present throughout Europe, urban meadows were popular places for collective fun and transgressions, sites for markets and for the exchange of produce from the surrounding countryside for goods made in urban workshops and factories, open spaces where town-dwellers could go for strolls, both 'poor relations' and precursors to the great tradition of the urban parks. And it is here, in these scraps of uncultivated land so closely tied to the histories of towns that the first encounters came about between countryside and city, between densely inhabited urban fabric and green empty spaces. These are the places that have prepared the way for our changed attitudes to the natural succession that occurs when plants reclaim abandoned areas as well as to the many forms of temporary use that they can accommodate. Meadows and their history have shaped our attitudes to contemporary urban landscapes. The thirteenth edition of the Benetton Foundation's International Landscape Study Days (Treviso, 16th-17th February 2017) focused on the different social and planning permutations assumed by such places, both in the past and in the present. In this book eighteen authors will propose in-depth discussions of the issues debated on that occasion, exploring these vast empty spaces rooted in the history of towns and their value so as to produce an up-to-date study of the new meanings of common space in today's civic context."
