Rezumat/Abstract. During the preparatory studies for the PUZCP Fabric, I came across, almost accidentally, a plan entitled Green Spaces, Sports and Leisure, part of the 1978 Systematization Outline of the Municipality of Timișoara. What is striking about this document is not merely its existence, having remained for decades stored away in a basement, but rather the clarity and coherence of the urban concept it proposes, at a time when, viewed retrospectively, green spaces are often perceived as secondary elements of urban development. This discovery immediately called to mind the theories formulated by Christopher Alexander in the late 1970s, particularly those concerning spatial continuity, non-hierarchical structures, and the city understood as a network of overlapping relationships. The present article advances the hypothesis that the Green Spaces, Sports and Leisure plan represented, at the time of its elaboration, an instance of multiple discoveries (or simultaneous invention), articulating an urban logic that can today be interpreted through the lens of contemporary green infrastructure. Through its unitary vision of green space within the city, as well as the explicit treatment of the green layer as a distinct structural component, the document highlights the visionary quality of the urban planning work carried out by the IPROTIM collective and its continued relevance for contemporary interpretations of the urban landscape and territorial resilience.
