Abstract

Long public walks raised on panoramic terraces in the English way, were proposed during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and well connected with towns, ports or landscapes. Under an urban point of view, they can be seen not only as fine architectures, but as actions of urban and estate meaning. Their cultured horizon of inspiration, between models of the centuries before and of classic architecture, justifies and ensures the outlines of the proposals, often linked to the established British communities. Some of this projects, linear architectures hundred meters long, although modified, demolished, or never built, are witness of an era of bourgeois public walk, of new hygienic demands and planning programs of cities and ports as Nice, Genoa and Cagliari.
