Young left a significant footprint in the [[cityscape]] and designed many urban projects, such as the city's first subway ([[Naples Metro|metro]]). In the first years of the 20th century, a local version of the [[Art Nouveau]] phenomenon, known as "[[Liberty style|Liberty]] Napoletano", developed in the city, creating many buildings which still stand today. In 1935, the [[Rationalism (architecture)|Rationalist]] architect Luigi Cosenza designed a new fish market for the city. During the [[Benito Mussolini]] era, the first structures of the city's "service center" were built, all in a Rationalist-[[Functionalism (architecture)|Functionalist]] style, including the Palazzo delle Poste and the Pretura buildings. The [[Centro Direzionale (Naples)|Centro Direzionale di Napoli]] is the only adjacent cluster of skyscrapers in southern Europe.
