Urban regeneration of abandoned and contaminated industrial areas. Case study: Eternitten district in Aalborg (DK)
2020
The article describes the decontamination and regeneration process of the Eternitten district, an abandoned industrial complex for the production of cement and asbestos south of Aalborg, in a new multifunctional and sustainable neighbourhood. The designation of the district as an urban transformation area is part of a general regeneration of Aalborg whose industrial profile is gradually being replaced by a new profile more oriented towards culture and innovation. Eternittens Vidensby Village 21, from eternit factory to knowledge factory, is the vision – developed by Kjær & Richter for Søren Enggaard A/S – for an innovative use of the neighbourhood. The vision, which is inspired by the v…

Trasformazione e riuso dei vuoti urbani: quattro casi studio
2016
Il saggio indaga su contesti urbani consolidati che contengono tracce appartenenti a preesistenze industriali oggi in disuso, ma che costituiscono originali trame urbane da reinterpretare, riqualificare e riutilizzare in alternativa alle nuove espansioni. Il progetto della trasformazione/cambiamento diviene una metodologia d’intervento che richiede approcci, sensibilità e strumenti adeguati, che vanno dal controllo urbanistico a quello architettonico, dalla verifica tecnologica e strutturale a quella sociale e fruitiva. Sono presentate alcune ipotesi progettuali che illustrano come la valorizzazione delle aree industriali possa contribuire alla rigenerazione urbana di interi quartieri o por…
Augmented Cities in the Neoanthropocene
2021
Contemporary cities could be considered vibrant organisms of places and communities, of data and information, of sensors and actuators, and of actions and reactions generated by people and environment both. Cities must be more responsive to our behavioral changes, enabling devices for enhancing our contemporary life. We would be able to build amore efficient urban environment, able to sense, to understand and to act every day and for everyone. In the post-city age and beyond the smart city, Augmented City is a new paradigm that perceives the demands of more networked, knowledge-based, and creative society that answers to the global change by a new circular metabolism. The Augmented City is …
The Waterfront Theorem: an integrated and creative planning approach
2016
Waterfronts are sensitive interfaces between land and sea, creative interfaces between urban and environmental components, social interfaces between nodes and networks. They not only coincide with the areas of infrastructure that are gathering on the coast, not only with the shoreline or the environmental components of the coastal territories. They are hired by the project as complex interaction of crossing flows, stratified identity of urban communities: fundamental element of the environmental system, synthesis of landscape, space and community, a place of solidification of the identity of the social, cultural and economic community (Carta, 2009). The management of urban interface of wate…

Creative City Reloaded. Ecological Planning for the Changing Times
2012
Abitiamo, lavoriamo e ci muoviamo nella Urban Age, ed iI successo della città come forma prevalente dell’abitare non solo le assegna il ruolo di growth machine dello sviluppo, motore dell’evoluzione e del dinamismo delle comunità, ma la carica anche della responsabilità di essere un modello positivo - oltre che vincente - generatore di stili di vita innovativi, più sostenibili, intelligenti e creativi. Le città si propongono come potenti attrattrici della popolazione non solo dalle zone rurali, ma – con maggiore vigore in epoca di crisi – anche da altre città, intra-regionali o addirittura trans-nazionali, ed il flusso di capitale sociale che le attraversa può alimentarne la rigenerazione e…
The Urban Landscape and the Real Estate Market. Structures and Fragments of the Axiological Tessitura in a Wide Urban Area of Palermo
2016
The proposed study deals with the urban landscape of Palermo and its possible representation from the perspective of the real estate market analysis. Real estate is one of the most significant types of capital asset and the wide range of its possible utilizations makes complex the interpretation of the market phenomena. The multi-layered reality of such a large city (represented through the sample of 500 properties) needs to be articulated into a significant set of sub-markets in order to outline the complexity and to map the distribution of homogeneous groups of properties within the whole city area. The comparison between quality and price within each cluster allows us to elicit the degre…
Palermo, un'idea di cui è giunto il tempo
2023
Palermo, città cosmopolita per natura, raccontata e immaginata in un libro che la propone come laboratorio permanente della direzione che possono prendere le città del sud globale. Un libro che racconta Palermo come un'idea che deve diventare pensiero collettivo per farsi azione e generare evoluzione. Dieci mosse sorreggono strategie creative e di rigenerazione urbana che ambiscono a diventare la piattaforma per un dibattito pubblico, spingendo ad agire come costruttori di cattedrali: con visione politica lungimirante e intervento tempestivo. Il libro condivide un'idea urbanistica necessaria, atta a generare un progetto di città capace di sconfiggere bruttezza, degrado, povertà e criminalit…
Creative Cities in Italy: new scenarios and projects
2012
Reflections on and experimentation with urban creativity as a competitive factor put together in recent years, starting with the works of Florida and Landry, gave rise to further theoretical/operative reflections aimed at providing a greater territorial dimension to the creative city, lessening the rhetorical character and increasing that of the concrete effects on the quality of life. In 2007 my book “Creative City: Dynamics, Innovations, Actions” identified the need for concrete evolution and pointed out the factors that make it possible for urban creativity to become a launch pad for new economies and a creative force for new cities and not simply an attractive force for intellectual res…
