Abstract - This text is the introductory chapter of the book "The public-private relationship in Prg," Palombi 2004, which expresses a radical critique of the approach only journalistic the Prg. Such criticism is built on the belief that we have finally broken the fundamental asymmetry of relationship that would bind in the long season of reformism, the public to the private operator, sanctioning the de facto dominance of the former over the latter. The complex transformations since the end of the seventies are that occurred in the way we interact with the city, led to a substantial rethinking of planning methodologies: the central role assumed by the issue of scarcity of resources and their possible mobilization, is matched by the inevitability of the logic of partnership between public and private sectors. It appears very difficult today to think of Plan assumptions foreign to them, even if everything still seems to have produced precise rules designed to govern relations between the many actors in the process. Of a possible settlement of these rules was guided this research. What emerges from the reflections, is the ability to think differently to the production process of the Plan, its relevant issues, and his training techniques, a line of reflection that compares, in a specific and careful, with a discussion now very rich.
