From filament of knowledge to axis of trade and exchange of goods only: to humanize these assumptions is the planning aim. Offering an help to people in trouble (because of wars, persecutions, poverty, pandemics, discriminations) is the current foundation of the technical and technological progress. We want to transform Silk Road in the occasion for the creation of Linear Metropolis of Welcome, an emotional filament that give hospitality to migrants in places building in keeping with environment. Small towns that, like parasite, hook on to the Silk Road to support it in efficiency and to built a new system of urban satellites based on the goods and people traffic. These small satellites are efficient, sustainable, modifiable and expandable in the time and it has low environmental and ecological impact. They are places of development, links for new destinations. A “main ouverte” shapes the urban area pointed out further on the basic idea of welcome. A linear metropolis: a ”main ouverte” to all the migrants consisting of four functional filaments:
1. Filament of Power Production is marked by breakwater of close-mesh reeds, covering vertical axis wind turbine
2. Filament of Transport is marked by the lines of transnational communication, the rail communication, the road transports and by the relative working places
3. Filament of Welcome is marked by a system of open spaces that lodge services, hospitals and humanitarian organization. It is characterized by a shapeless, removable and expandable system made with natural fibres, reeds and cardboard. It gives the first welcome to the migrants
4. Filament of Residence is marked by the city in evolution that gives a social setting to the migrants intending to stop here. So the city increases as a real urban places building with simple dwelling-module in wood and cardboard. A mix of actions dedicated to the social sustainability particularly is the real planning innovation.
