CIAM was marked with the start of Team 10, which brought together the new generation of architects (including De Carlo, Alison and Peter Smithson, Aldo van Eyck, and Jacob Bakema) to conceive a new type of architecture, one which was better suited to local social and environmental conditions and where man "is not reduced to an abstract figure". In 1964, De Carlo was in charge of the first General Town Plan of the city of Urbino. From 1965 onward, he was in charge of designing the campus and facilities of the new University of Urbino. In the design, the campus is designed to merge with the existing hilly landscape. It was this project that saw him busy for many years of his life, and that gave him his first real international recognition. During the 1968 movement in Italy, he sought a constructive dialogue with his students and published a series of texts and essays in which he theorized a more democratic and open "participatory architecture". Libertarian socialism was the underlying force for all of his planning and design. De Carlo saw architecture as a consensus-based activity: his designs were generated as an expression of the forces that operate in a given context, including human, physical, cultural, and historical forces. His ideas linked the CIAM ideals with the late twentieth century reality. Although his political beliefs have limited his portfolio of buildings, his ideas remained. From 1970 onward, he began building houses for workers in Terni, together with the workers and their families themselves. This was the first example of a participatory architecture in Italy, which turned out to be a success, being repeated with different results and procedures; in 1972 for the Rimini City Plan, and in 1979 for the recovery of Mazzorbo Island in Venice. In 1976, De Carlo founded the ILAUD (International Laboratory of Architecture & Urban Design), based on the principles of Team X, which for 27 years took place every summer in Italy, in order to carry out continuous research in the evolution of architecture. In 1978, he founded and directed the magazine "Space and Society" which kept the network created by Team X active and guaranteed an alternative and independent voice in the European architectural sphere for the next 20 years. In Siena, De Carlo was in charge of a project for the new suburb of San Miniato which he criticized for its practical implementation
