The new urban facts of the territory are not easily identifiable neither can be represented through a traditional planimetric relief; however, they have an extraordinary ability of penetration into the different parts of the city. The actual word is kept together by a series of networks, of flux places free from spatial and temporal constraints; the resulting desegregation process of the social community causes the fragmentation and decomposition of the life of the single composing units into a series of episodes, each closed in itself and independent. As a matter of fact, most of the phenomena of the city construction were not realised thanks to the addition of new homogeneous parts, but rather as a result of a multitude of small construction events often without any sort of combinatorial logic. In addition to this type of phenomena, there exist others where the identifiability is entrusted only to the sensitive perception which, however, contain in themselves all potentiality to represent analysis tools and references for planning. In this way, the contemporary city becomes the place of the complexity and of the simultaneity, which determines situations of transivity and transformation. In such a complex and diversified contemporareity, the sensitive relief, realised through inspections at different levels and with multiple readings, helps to deconstruct, fragment and elementarize the city, allowing new interpretative logic. Nowadays, the elements characterising a sustainable approach to the city development seem not to interact in an integrated manner with the complex articulations of the territory, focusing almost all the attention to the ecological aspect. For the comprehension of these mechanisms and for the construction of a methodology of sensible relief, a necessary introduction is represented by the identification of the new urban elements. The objective of the sensitive relief is the development of a methodology of complex analysis for the rereading of the territory and the set up of a tool for supporting the different typologies and different scales of the integrated town planning. This is realised through the identification of those elements that constitute the territory, that are fundamental for places recognition, and that are able to cause transformation, also cultural. The method is aimed at producing a sensitive map that provides a complex knowledge of the sites, and at creating proper indicators able to transform the facts contained in the relief into active indices.
