Creative City 3.0: smart cities for the urban age
2012
In current financial, economical and political crisis, with the progressive downgrading of the States and the world’s GDPs dropping, the strong flows of financial, social and relational capital that powered urban regeneration over the last fifteen years are no longer available to be tapped in on in an indiscriminate manner as it seems was the case until just a few years ago. The most dynamic cities in the near future will no longer be those that are able to attract urban projects driven by the real estate market, or hedge funds, but the cities that have extensive cultural and identifying resources and that are able to use them as the basis for creating new culture and new urban value. Today…

From Conservation to Revitalization. Ambiguous and Critical Conditions in the Heritage Conservation Experiences of Erice
2022
The plans and the evolutionary trends of policies and practices implemented in Erice old town, in the south of Italy, in the western part of Sicily, can be considered a case study of total conservation as highly representative of Italian urban planning of the last 60 years. This paper aims to deal with the actual problems and the perspective of sustainable development of the historical centre of Erice, by adopting the approach of urban and territorial regeneration. This paper also highlights the historical and cultural context in which the Gubbio Charter (issued in 1960) is affirmed; i.e. the most appropriate approaches to historical urban centres; what we can learn from Erice’s integral co…
Il tempo nuovo dei beni culturali, dell'economia e dei territori
2021
The essay examines the evolution of the relationship between culture and economy in the legal debate, in the perspective of the progressive overcoming of the opposing tendencies to the mixture between the two areas in relation to the growing dimension of the enhancement of cultural heritage, identifying the weaknesses of the discipline (regional ) the participation of cultural assets in the urban regeneration of territories
Eppur si muove. Partecipare per contribuire alle decisioni nei contesti urbani fragili
2021
Il progetto, concluso in periodo di COVID19, ha attivato percorsi di tipo partecipativo sul modello del dibattito pubblico sia in presenza che mediante utilizzo delle tecnologie di comunicazione e informazione (ICT) via web. Sia il Comune di Palermo che la Valletta hanno realizzato percorsi partecipativi culminati in eventi che hanno raccolto le considerazioni finali utili alla costruzione di linee guida per le politiche pubbliche orientate all’accessibilità del patrimonio per tutti. Il contributo muove dalla analisi dei metodi dell’applicazione delle tecnologie ICT agli approcci partecipativi per le decisioni in ambito pubblico. Tali strumenti non risolvono il conflitto sociale ma a volte …
Energy-environmental assessment of the UIA-OpenAgri case study as urban regeneration project through agriculture
2020
Abstract Sustainable agriculture is strongly promoted by Agenda 2030 and peri-urban agriculture is considered strategic for agri-food sustainability. Although, innovative farming practices are being implemented, the analysis of their impacts often does not reach the required depth. Within the EU project ‘UIA-OpenAgri - New Skills for new Jobs in Peri-urban Agriculture’, a regeneration process of a peri-urban area in Milan (Italy) was started, through the development of an innovative food hub. 28 innovative foodchains are assessed by a Life Cycle Assessment approach based on primary data collected from the involved start-ups. Non-Renewable Cumulative Energy Demand and the Global Warming Pote…
Superstrade urbane. Dall’alta velocità alle trasformazioni contemporanee
2013
This article focuses on urban freeway deconstruction processes that recognize this infrastructure as a resource to be reclaimed for urban regeneration. Since they first appeared, freeways have been more than simple carriers of traffic flow. Following the suggestions provided by Le Corbusier, Drexler and Rudofsky in their “ROADS” exhibition, Lawrence Halprin, Reyner Banham, particular attention is paid to the shift towards a larger set of aesthetic assumptions applied to highways. Fifty years after the iconic evocation of Autopia, urban freeways no longer embody the modern value of speed: they must increasingly deal with ecological challenges and re-cycling processes. The nodes where infrast…
L’high Line Elevated Parkway : metamorfosi di un’infrastruttura in riconversione
2013
The reuse of the abandoned High Line Elevated Parkway, claimed and partnered by the association Friends of the High Line, is based on certain features of the former, obsolete, viaduct which runs trough the urban tissue nearly 30 feet in the air. Inspired by the unexpected beauty of the lush wilderness that has converted the High Line’s tracks into a spontaneous greenway since 1980s, the design team has been led by James Corner – Field Operation, with Diller & Scofi dio + Renfro and Piet Oudolf. Sublimating the old traces of over 20 years of abandon, the project is founded on a holistic approach that embodies the new dominant paradigm marked by the growing importance of recycling, slowness a…
Il Paradigma della Città Fluida
2013
Nella recente crisi globale i poderosi flussi di capitali finanziari, sociali e relazionali che hanno alimentato la riqualificazione urbana nel corso degli ultimi quindici anni non sono più disponibili ad essere intercettati in maniera indiscriminata così come è stato possibile fino a qualche anno fa. Nell'era della crisi strutturale le città più dinamiche non sono più quelle in grado di attrarre progetti urbani iconici ed investitori spinti dal mercato immobiliare o dalla redditività delle attività ricreative, ma quelle città che, a partire dalle loro profonde e diversificate risorse culturali, saranno capaci di attuare una vera e propria “metamorfosi” per usarle come base per la creazione…
La valutazione ambientale delle strategie urbane di sviluppo: nuovi modelli per l'integrazione ambientale delle scelte in ambito urbanistico
2017
La valutazione ambientale strategica è, prima di essere codificata nelle forme della VAS, una possibile declinazione della pianificazione strategica che nelle tematiche ambientali della sostenibilità e, potenzialmente, nei paradigmi dell’ecological urbanism o del re-cycle un nuovo modo di lavorare al progetto urbanistico. Il paper descrive le attività svolte in tal senso dal Dipartimento Regionale dell’Urbanistica (DRU) della Regione Siciliana con la collaborazione scientifica di chi scrive, al fine di ripensare la VAS come un modello di progettazione della trasformazione urbana anziché come un accessorio a posteriori del Piano. L’emanazione della Direttiva 1/2015 DRU/VAS e le conseguenti a…
