Esplorare la povertà urbana in una prospettiva mediterranea: il caso del quartiere CEP a Palermo

2020

The paper addresses the issue of the multiple dimensions of urban poverty through mixed analyses carried out in the CEP neighborhood of Palermo. The article tries to avoid incurring the dichotomy between the Global North and South and adopts a Mediterranean perspective, attempting to describe the neighborhood from below and starting from the voices of its youngest inhabitants. In light of the most recent pandemic events, the issue of urban poverty deserves to be explored with renewed academic debates.

Abitare la transizione nei Centri minori in Sicilia

2023

The proposal aims to develop concrete experience on possible ways of living from a framework of national and international references on the theme of the Social Housing Community to define a specific methodology on strategies to be tested on the theme of residence temporary in small towns in Sicily. The provision of minimum and adequate space for short and long periods of welcome is thus intended for new temporary residents (returning young people, migrant families, the elderly, travellers in transit) which can also be used to meet the needs of migrants, under the public direction of the municipal administration. The issue of residency is back in the disciplinary debate after the health eme…

Existential risks of an excluded community: Le mani sulle città by Franco Rosi

2020

L’articolo analizza la questione dell’abusivismo edilizio, esploso negli anni ’60, attraverso la riflessione su un famoso film di Franco Rosi, Le mani sulla città, che ha trattato le contraddizioni e i fallimenti della disciplina urbanistica se corrotta da interessi privati. The essay focuses on the film Le mani sulla città (Hands on the city, 1963) by Francesco Rosi. The film, set in Naples, explores some significant aspects of the Italian "Reconstruction" after the end of the Second World War and offers interesting insights. That period was characterized by a number of active, social and economic, recovery policies which produced job and development opportunities and triggered the develop…

2022

Lo scritto restituisce in chiave critica gli esiti della sperimentazione progettuale, sviluppata in occasione del seminario itinerante di progettazione architettonica Villard, sul tema della rigenerazione dei quartieri di Edilizia Residenziale Pubblica a Taranto. Una città fortemente segnata dalla sensibile questione legata alle oltre millecinquecento richieste di accesso da parte dei cittadini aventi diritto ad una casa. Una condizione che determina un forte disagio sociale nelle famiglie meno abbienti escluse dall’assegnazione di alloggi per la limitata offerta di abitazioni pubbliche.

Social Housing per la Terza Età

2015

Il contesto sociale contemporaneo presenta un aumento delle persone non autosufficienti, cui si aggiunge una crescita di anziani affetti da malattie come il Morbo di Alzheimer. Le risposte progettuali a tale emergenza sono oggi sempre più urgenti e in Italia non vi sono leggi specifiche sugli spazi che regolano la costruzione di edifici destinati a questi malati. La ricerca, condotta dall’Università di Palermo, si è orientata verso la de-istituzionalizzazione delle strutture sanitarie e la promozione di servizi migliorativi per la comunità anziana. L’Autore qui rendiconta sugli obiettivi assunti, sulla metodologia impiegata e sui risultati raggiunti.

"I will never forget him". A qualitative exploration of staff descriptions of helpful relationships in supportive housing.

2020

WHAT IS KNOWN ON THE SUBJECT?: Recovery-oriented studies show that the quality of the professional relationship plays an essential role in the recovery from mental illness. Within mental health care in general, previous studies show that helpful professional relationships are characterized by several reciprocal aspects, such as friendship resemblance and self-disclosure. The literature is scarce on in-depth explorations of professional relationships within the often long-lasting and intimate help context of institutional supportive housing. Explorations of staff members' experiences are absent. The scientific rationale of this study was to expand the current knowledge about professional rel…

The Wheres and Hows of Residential Choice

2016

International audience; A wide variety of choices and decisions are open to individuals when looking for a place to live: a flat or a house, renting or buying depending on one’s resources and plans; living in a city centre to enjoy its buzz, or in a certain district to have a school close by, or on the outskirts in a more village-like setting; and in this last case, how far from urban centres and major access routes? What ultimately are individuals’ preferences? All these questions presuppose looking at how they perceive and evaluate the urban environment so as to better grasp what it is that leads to residential satisfaction. However, it is not the evaluation or satisfaction in itself that…
