Abstract
In celebrating Roberto Gambino, I underline the ethical role of his professional activity, systematically oriented to experiment scientific advancements of town planning towards territorial and landscape quality in fostering public interest. On the substantive level, I agree upon many statements, e.g. parks as workshops for putting landscape into value; nevertheless I underline some discontinuity (in objectives, tools, socio- economical implications) in moving from parks as policies for protecting specific areas “from” development, towards the territorial project as added value for the entire regional territory, “for” the quality of development itself.
