The protection of cultural heritage and restrictions for interventions and renewal projects in the historic city centre of Rome have led to a ruthless exploitation of the peripheries of the city without much consideration of their heritage values and physical environment. The 2003 Urban Development Plan of Rome presents different strategies to enhance the urban qualities in the peripheries. A polycentric urban development will arguably bring a vitalisation to the outskirts of the city. The contextual concept ‘history in progress’ is introduced; it has a new methodological aim, an amalgamation of the earlier dialectic strategies conservation–transformation and OBS history-project. Such an amalgamation integrates historical values with processes of transformation and rehabilitation; the dialectic perspective has often blocked this aspect in transformation activities. Heritage can now be regarded as an asset and not as an obstacle in urban development. A considerable number of ancient remains have been destroyed because of the rapid urbanisation of Rome after the Second World War. Some of the Roman peripheries have qualities that could merit a nomination as modern urban heritage. However, an accelerating decay makes it difficult to distinguish such values
