evolution of an urban landscape from prehistory to the present day. An
extraordinary example of a study that still presents numerous unanswered questions, which inhibit a complete reconstruction of the city’s long history.
This is mainly the result of inadequate publications and the scarce sharing of the data between those Research, Protection, or Local Administration bodies who own it, which leads to negative effects even in terms of territorial planning.
The OpenCiTy Project, set up by IBAM-CNR, was born out of the
ascertainment of such limitations and aims to create a free and shared “research environment”, in which to channel the heterogeneous mass of data relating to the entire cultural patrimony of the city under a common spatial denominator and on a WEbGIS portal, that developed entirely with the use of Open source software, was specifically devised as a channel for the dissemination and free sharing of the processed historical-archaeological contents.

The first goal is to provide a powerful and versatile instrument
linked to the research needs, the protection, enjoyment, appreciation and promotion of the Cultural Heritage. The core of the project consists of a relational database specifically structured and placed inside an Open Source GIS Platform, allowing a full management and analysis of the data on a geographic basis. The data in the platform will cover different areas of interest. The archaeological, monumental, environmental and cultural evidence of
Catania are stored with a high level of detail in order to offer a better understanding of the complex urban stratification. The final output is represented by a webGIS platform showing the information on geographical base.

These new data were represented according to a special code worked out in order to incorporate our data in the MAPPA-Web-GIS. This code will be illustrated in this report, together with the criteria used for landforms detection.

This powerful methodology, based on aerial and satellite images, electrical resistivity tomography, LiDAR, and core analysis, led to the reconstruction of landscape evolution, highlighting humaneenvironment interactions. During the Etruscan and Roman periods, Pisa saw a fast urban expansion in a dense and unstable fluvial network. Wide portions of the city were characterised by poorly drained conditions until the 1st century AD, when the alluvial plain became well drained under increasing anthropogenic pressure (Roman Centuriatio). Poorly drained floodplains and channel-related backswamps represent the topographically lowest zones of the ancient Pisa. This city developed within an intricate pattern of palaeochannels, related to two main rivers: the palaeoArno, which flowed in proximity of its present position, and the former palaeoSerchio river, known as Auser flowing in the northern part of the city. Since Etruscan times, a mounded relief was formed in the historical city centre of Pisa, becoming wider and more prominent (up to ca. 2 m a.s.l.) during the Roman period, concomitant with a southward rapid expansion of the urban tissue. Nevertheless, the urban growth patterns substantially followed the Etruscan city's fabric, with marked concentration of the urban structures (public and private buildings) and manufacturing sites on the northern relief, close to the Auser. The Auser River thus played a crucial role in the environmental and topographic evolution of the city area.

Il suo obiettivo è la creazione di uno strumento capace di accrescere, attraverso la libera condivisione dei dati, frutto della secolare attività di ricerca storico-topografica condotta in area urbana, la conoscenza collettiva, favorendo la pianificazione e la tutela territoriale. Il presente volume, primo di una serie monografica destinata ad approfondire ogni singolo aspetto della storia e della cultura di Catania, divulgandone i risultati raggiunti, è dedicato all’inquadramento del tema nell’ambito delle ricerche di archeologia urbana, al ruolo della ricerca fatta “nella città e per la città” per giungere all’analisi delle caratteristiche e delle scelte metodologiche operate nella creazione
della banca dati, della piattaforma GIS e del WebGIS, i tre elementi a cui è demandato il compito di archiviare, gestire, analizzare e rendere liberamente accessibili, su base geospaziale, i dati relativi alla complessa stratificazione urbana della città di Catania.
