This paper documents the difficult process of redefining the basic economy of the port of La Spezia. It shows the past and the present bound by a strong military presence and ambitions for a future based on tourism and commerce. The start of a debate on the possible conversion of military areas and the formulation of plans and projects for the physical and functional transformation of key places in the town clearly show the policy and urban planning problems which can emerge from processes of this nature.

Keywords: Post military town; urban transformations, development policies and projects
