Ecopoli is an extraordinary book that first in the world suggests innovotive ideas for architecure and urbanistic, like "Xiastic System" ("Sistema Chiastico", from the omonimous greek letter) where an Highway is not only seen as connection between two towns, but as an instrument for creating meeting point (Commercial Centres, etc.) or new aggregations: tows are no more "jumped" by an Highway but integrated and accessible thaks to it.
