Healthy design and urban planning strategies, actions, and policy to achieve salutogenic cities
2018
Starting from a previous experience carried out by the working group “Building and Environmental Hygiene” of the Italian Society of Hygiene and Preventive Medicine (SItI), the aim of the present work is to define new strategic goals for achieving a “Healthy and Salutogenic City”, which will be useful to designers, local governments and public bodies, policy makers, and all professionals working at local health agencies. Ten key points have been formulated: 1. climate change and management of adverse weather events; 2. land consumption, sprawl, and shrinking cities; 3. tactical urbanism and urban resilience; 4. urban comfort, safety, and security perception; 5. strengths and weaknesses of ur…
Enrichissement sémantique d'un fichier IFC pour une extraction partielle dynamique
2014
International audience; La dématérialisation de l'ensemble des données et des processus dans le domaine du bâtiment est un enjeu mondial depuis ces 10 dernières années. Au-delà de la simple représentation géométrique d'un bâtiment, le BIM s'impose petit à petit comme un système d'information coopératif complexe, intégrant avec difficulté les données et pratiques hétérogènes des différents acteurs du domaine. La restitution intégrée de ces données aux usagers du bâtiment est une opération délicate. Pour répondre à ce verrou, nous utilisons une approche sémantique de représentation du bâtiment et particulièrement de la norme IFC. Cette approche permet d'extraire des fichiers IFC valides, part…

For a “Living (Lab)” Approach to Smart Cities
2016
Thanks to the diffusion of information and communication technologies, and despite the huge margins of improvement of the operating conditions of the Web, sharing an idea can be today the starting point for the birth of either a start-up or a community of interests, able to achieve a variety of goals without the intervention of any public institution. In relation to such a ferment of successful micro-level initiatives, Territorial Living Labs are here interpreted as place-based ecosystems of co-creation of goods, services as well as new organizational and social models of smart urban life. From this interpretation, the necessity strongly emerges of a coherent and viable reference framework …

Il volume ripercorre i contributi critici e teorici della disciplina degli ultimi vent'anni e propone un'avanzamento critico delle teorie sul paesaggio urbano e sulle geografie della città contemporanea.

Cultural institutions as agents of urban and community regeneration in the (post-)pandemic city. The case of the «Laboratorio Zen Insieme» in Palermo
2022
Although all cities in the world have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, its impacts on the territories, yet to be understood, are unevenly distributed, revealing extremely varied imbalances depending on the places. However, it is clear that the virus and its variants have aggravated pre-existing socio-spatial inequalities, creating new ones and bringing attention back to those implications between space, planning, public health and citizenship that are at the origins of contemporary urbanism. In a reference framework in which the crisis is globalized but unequal and in the absence of a welfare system capable of responding to the urgencies of the most marginalized social contexts and g…
Polipheries: Heterotopic Cities and Plural Communities of a Different Present in Southern Europe
2018
In Europe, cities have always been theatres that put utopian thinking on the stage. The European city is a “mediation between mediations”, to quote Henri Lefebvre, one of the most lucid philosophers of the city, since the city is a permanent interface for several types of relationships: relationships between individuals, structured and unstructured relationships, and relationships with and between social, institutional, and normative organisations. And in an increasingly urban world where most of the world’s population lives in cities, with levels close to 80% in Europe, cities are the living organisms that breath the breath of change, especially the change in the relationships, visions, an…
Palermo extra moenia: dalla strada Colonna alle espansioni di fine Settecento
2020
Nel quadro delle radicali trasformazioni urbanistiche che hanno interessato la città di Palermo nel XVI secolo, la realizzazione della strada Colonna sul litorale della città e il prolungamento della via Toledo extra moenia in direzione di Monreale costituiscono le prime manifestazione di quella tendenza ad esportare principi di regolarità e di magnificenza monumentale oltre la cortina bastionata della città, che caratterizzerà le imprese urbanistiche più significative del Seicento. Ci riferiamo, in particolare, al completamento dello stesso ‘stradone’ per Monreale, negli anni trenta del Seicento, con la realizzazione di un sistema di fontane marmoree poste a segnare i nodi fondamentali del…
The Necessary Integration of Green Infrastructures in the Public Transport Infrastructure Design
2021
The spatial planning of the new infrastructures for the urban mobility can provide the opportunity for the development of the urban green areas toward the condition of a healthy city. Elements such as architectural, heritage, and landscape centralities can lead to build a converging point between the two infrastructural systems of green and mobility. The development of the new urban railway lines in the city of Palermo (Italy) offers the chance to apply an integrated approach to the field. The local potentials of the biodiversity on one side and the fragmented landscape and environment systems on the other side build the framework for the development of a case study oriented to the enhancem…
