La crescente repentinità delle trasformazioni alle quali gli spazi pubblici sono sottoposti, a diverse scale, impone alla pratica pianificatoria l’adozione di strategie di transizione che, pur accogliendo le istanze di adattività degli spazi, ne garantiscano il sussistere della dimensione pubblica. Un nodo critico di rilievo se si osserva come l’accelerazione del momento della pianificazione sia progressivamente supportato da tecnologie, quali i modelli di intelligenza artificiale generativa (GenAI), che avvicinano l’agentività software a quella umana con implicazioni sia sulla definizione stessa della dimensione pubblica sia sul suo peso in termini decisionali/previsionali. A partire dallo “Star Model of Publicness” di Varna e Tiesdell (2010), il contributo intende investigare il concetto di publicness attraverso l’interazione con un modello di GenAI, basato sul Large Language Model (LLM) open source Llama 3.2 e contestualizzato utilizzando il corpus dei piani territoriali regionali italiani.
