Reimagining Urbanism. Creative, Smart and Green Cities for the Changing Times
2014
We live in a world of cities, where more than half of the population lives and works in urban settlements, whether dense or sprawled, metropolitan or networked, expanding or shrinking. The city plays a major role in the Urban Age as habitat – the U.S. and Europe are close to 80% – not only as development growth machine, driver of communities’ evolution and dynamism, but bearing the responsibility to generate innovative lifestyles, more sustainable smart and creative, and to be the reformer of its own development pattern. The exhibition curated by Richard Burdett in 2007 at the Tate Modern on Global Cities showed us a world where cities produce more than 50% of global GDP, consume 90% of glo…
La semplificazione normativa e il PNRR

The monograph studies the regulatory simplification policy programmed by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, analyzing its elements of novelty compared to policies already undertaken in the country and its relevance in the context of Plan implementation. It then considers the regulatory measures being taken to implement the said policy, questioning whether genuine simplification is being achieved.
Pandemic experience and activity sectors
2021
The changes that in recent decades have involved various sectors of economic activity, in addition to the world of scientific research, have been given a new and unexpected acceleration due to the pandemic experience. In the various fields of knowledge, the redefinition of organizational models, of traditional research and teaching tools, and even of the initial epistemological basis has represented an unprecedented challenge for all those who represent the human resources of these areas in varying degrees. This introduction concerns the second part of this volume called “Global threats in the Anthropocene: from COVID-19 to the future”.

Living on Mount Etna Between Risk, Beauty and Need: A Field Survey on Villages Struck by 2018 Earthquake
2023
Sicily’s uneven geological structure is positioned within a system of tectonic plates. Its (very) active volcano, Mount Etna, has always made it prone to disasters. Nevertheless on the flanks of Etna there are many urbanized areas and the population living on the slopes of Etna has increased a lot in the last century, because there is an ancient and intimate relationship between the land and the people who live and work on the land. In this chapter I will try to investigate possible changes in the perception of the risks associated with the volcano by the resident population by conducting survey in the villages of Fleri, Pisano, Pennisi and Santa Maria la Stella. This study is part of a gro…
Innovazione e resilienza nella città intelligente. Pratiche fiorentine al tempo della pandemia
2021
La pandemia ha dato l’opportunità ad alcune città di dimostrare il grado di competitività raggiunto e di divenire un modello di riferimento. In questi contesti non ha prevalso l’immobilismo o la sterile attesa, ma una fervente attività propositiva e creativa. Il presente contributo si propone di approfondire solo una delle esperienze di creatività e di azione all’interno di una città certamente smart, Firenze. Il caso della Galleria degli Uffizi dimostra la capacità dei contesti ad elevato livello tecnologico e di competenze di superare con brillantezza le situazioni critiche che, nella loro diversificata configurazione, possono presentarsi. The pandemic has given some cities the opportunit…
A Spatial Origin-Destination Analysis of International Tourism Demand. The Case of Italian Provinces

Critica alla cooperazione neoliberale. Resilienza e governance nelle politiche di aiuto allo sviluppo
2018
In uno scenario globale in cui si dà per scontato che rischi e pericoli vadano oltre le nostre possibilità di controllo, la resilienza entra in gioco, come una sorta di codice di condotta, per responsabilizzare stati fragili e individui vulnerabili, facendo leva sulle loro capacità di adattamento e di assorbimento del danno. L’adattamento è una delle virtù cardinali del neoliberalismo e costituisce il nucleo concettuale della significazione politica della resilienza. Gli individui devono fare fronte ai mutamenti che derivano da un sistema in continua trasformazione, nel quale agiscono senza alcuna rete di protezione, esercitando una logica adattiva che forgia le loro soggettività e le decli…
