Enhancing Urban Brownfield Regeneration to Pursue Sustainable Community Outcomes through Dynamic Performance Governance

2019

This paper discusses the case of Puerto Madero (Buenos Aires, Argentina) to illustrate how the “Dynamic Performance Governance” framework is able to support policy networks to pursue sustainable community outcomes in urban brownfield regeneration. The case is an example of successful implementation of urban renewal carried out through a significant involvement of the private sector. It portrays a “financially-driven” governance mode which entails balancing the advantage of cash flow reinvestment for public services and infrastructure capacity development, with potential shortcomings in terms of social inclusion. Findings reveal two main trade-offs associated with policy design and implement…

Sustainable Regeneration of Brownfields

2016

Our cities are really rich of building ensembles now deserted which were, in the recent past, sources of job and productivity for the community. They are generally inside the urban fabric or in the suburbs and they are often not particularly taken into consideration because they haven’t architectonic characteristics which could justify a restoration. Due to their big extension, the planning approach turns to be diffucult. Besides, these areas, if adequately restored, could become an important economic and cultural resource and a possibility of experimentation of new sustainable technologies. All this heritage requires a planning approach based on conservation and valorization of all the cul…

IL DIRITTO ALLA RIGENERAZIONE DEI BROWNFIELDS IN UNA PROSPETTIVA DI FISCALITÀ CIRCOLARE

2019

Nell’analizzare il tema delle incentivazioni fiscali a favore delle attività di rigenerazione dei brownfield, il contributo mira a comprendere se esse debbano necessariamente qualificarsi come agevolazioni, rimanendo così attratte all’area della c.d. extra-fiscalità e recando con sé tutta la problematica del limite delle agevolazioni sotto il profilo dell’uguaglianza sostanziale, o se invece possano essere viste come una forma alternativa di concorso alla spesa pubblica. Il punto di partenza dell’indagine è l’individuazione di un interesse generale che possa giustificare, nell’ottica dell’extra-fiscalità, l’utilizzo strumentale del tributo per finalità diverse da quelle sue proprie; interes…

A Different Role of Taxation. From a One-Sided Taxation To a Circular Taxation

2020

The essay explores a possible different use of tax revenue, that is a perspective in which taxation is linked to a public choice in a circular way, thus determining a shift from the traditional “one-side taxation” process to a “circular taxation” process. Starting from the widely studied juridical phenomenon, known in Italy as regeneration of common spaces and goods or simply “regeneration”, and addressing the case of the regeneration of a brownfield, the Author argues that this phenomenon shows some common points with the so-called “circular economy”, since they are both inspired by the same principle of making resources usable in a circular context, exploiting already existing goods and r…

Nuove reti dell’energia disegnate dallo sharing. Dalla realtà delle cooperative energetiche ad una proposta progettuale per le ex aree produttive del…

2015

L’insostenibilità dell’attuale modello energetico, basato sulle fonti fossili, mobilita non solo i governi centrali ma stimola iniziative dal basso, associazioni impegnate a promuovere la transizione energetica verso un sistema rinnovabile a partire dalle produzioni delocalizzate di cui città e cittadini sono protagonisti. Il concetto base è da rintracciare nell’attuale sharing economy che consente il godimento di beni e servizi senza il vincolo del possesso. L’energia, in quanto bene primario e indispensabile, può e deve rientrare in questa logica. Se l’energia è un problema intrinseco alla città, lo sharing energetico può offrire un aiuto alla soluzione, come dimostrano le esperienze euro…

Il ri-ciclo socialmente innovativo come attivatore di sviluppo urbano e regionale. I brownfield come contesto di analisi e azione.

The research topic is the re-cycling of brownfields with social innovative practices, and how it can activate the urban and regional development. The research analyses critically and interprets the re-cycle theory (Marini and Bocchi 2014; Carta 2014) developed by the Italian Research “Re-cycle Italy” (PRIN) focusing on its social innovative aspects (Moulaert et al., 2005; Phills et al., 2008, Tekin and Tekdogan, 2015). Nowadays, the community-based planning is essential for the spatial regeneration processes. These realities generate a new sense of consciousness and a huge network of local activists, social enterprises able to develop the place in an incremental way. Therefore, it is import…

URBAN REGENERATION PROCESSES IN RIGA

2013

ANOTĀCIJA Pilsētas revitalizācijas process ir nozīmīga tēma mūsdienu pilsētu ģeogrāfijas pētījumos, un to raksturo dažādas formas un izpausmes. Rīgā kopš Latvijas valstiskās neatkarības atjaunošanas ir notikuši dažādi pilsētu pārmaiņu procesi. Svarīga loma šajos pilsētas pārmaiņu procesos ir pilsētas revitalizācijas procesiem, kuru rezultātā tiek revitalizētas un atkārtoti izmantotas degradētas teritorijas, tādējādi veicinot ilgtspējīgu pilsētas attīstību. Promocijas darba „Pilsētas revitalizācijas procesi Rīgā” mērķis ir izvērtēt pilsētas attīstības procesus, analizējot pilsētas revitalizācijas izpausmes Rīgā. Pētījuma ietvaros tika izstrādāta atbilstoša metodika pilsētas revitalizācijas p…
