Ivrea's city plan, introduced in 2002, demonstrated that modern architecture can be preserved and regenerated while fostering public appreciation for such heritage. This approach was pioneering in uniting innovative conservation strategies with initiatives to safeguard unique modern architectural landmarks, notably the Olivetti districts, which are now under consideration for UNESCO World Heritage status.
