Neoanthropocene Raising and Protection of Natural and Cultural Heritage: A Case Study in Southern Italy
2020
Analyzing the human history on the planet, a conflictual relation was raised when humankind had started destroying the natural ecosystem and biota, and consequently, a capacity to induce environmental change has increased throughout human history in the so-called Anthropocene age. A 'noosphere'-centered civilization could produce a non-disruptive new kind of anthropocentrism. This is becoming a new context to define Neoanthropocene based on a renewed homeostatic relationship between Earth and mankind. The potential application of this theoretical approach has been tested in drafting steps of Plan of Lucania Apennines, Valdagri, and Lagonegrese National Park, in southern Italy. Drafting the …
Planning Augmented Cities in the Neoanthropocene
2020
To improve the effects of the connecting “augmented urbanism”, I have set up ten keywords able to reset spatial planning for the Augmented City in the face of the 21st century challenges. The Augmented City’s practices grow with exponential progression doubling its components, connections and impacts seen in the last years, to one incredible and disruptive acceleration. We are surrounded by thousands of practices in the spread of sensors and intelligent devices, in collaborative design and return of urban manufacturing, in explosion of creativity and increase of resilience, and several experiments in recycling of everything, fluidisation and networking of cities, and adoption of incremental…
Post-pandemic Urban Habitat in the Neoanthropocene
2022
While the eyes of most analysts had been pointed on searching the apparition of the “black swan” (Taleb 2007), waiting with fear for the arrival of an unexpected event that would generate the new crisis, nobody wanted to see the “gray rhino” (a well-known risk that we want to ignore) that had been running furiously toward us by announcing the leap in the level of the environmental crisis, the umpteenth consequence of climate change on our lives. The COVID-19 pandemic, in fact, after numerous unheard alarms (Meadows, Meadows et al. 1972; Rockström et al. 2009), was the signal that the planet sent to our species to warn us to change: 98% of the Earth (nature) rebelled against the enormous env…
