El Derecho a la Ciudad desde la perspectiva de género en el Barrio El Gallito (Guatemala)
2019
Las ciudades del mundo concentran poderes económicos y sociales y, sus por su propia idiosincrasia ofrecen las herramientas necesarias para hacer frente a los nuevos desafíos del desarrollo. No obstante, según ha manifestado recientemente Naciones Unidas (2018) el aumento de la vulnerabilidad y de la exclusión social, ha conllevado directamente a un crecimiento notable de las desigualdades entre regiones y ciudades. Además de ello, en las últimas décadas han emergido con fuerza espacios urbanos en los que los desequilibrios sociales, la escasez de recursos comunitarios, el deterioro y degradación del entorno, se han visto acentuados dentro de las ciudades dando lugar a los denominados barri…
La vida cotidiana de los vecinos de Manila a través de sus testamentos e inventarios de bienes
2019
With the general objective indicated in its title, this work tries to highlight relevant aspects in the continuity of the Spanish domain in the Philippines, dependent on the maintenance of the Spanish capital. The inevitable selection of topics has lead the preferences of this work towards the residents collaboration to defend the city, the conversion of many of them into traders of exotic products and singular slaves owners, and their collaboration to an incredible miscegenation due to the ethnic variety. On the other hand, to follow the footsteps of the first generation of residents in Manila, at the end of the 16th century and during the 17th century, this work gives us some information …
Monoscopic Photogrammetry to Investigate the Buildings in the Period of Modernism in Salerno: The Case Study of Torquato Tasso High School
2021
The city of Salerno and the expansion that underwent in the 1920s in order to respond to the urban expansion following the demographic increase that occurred at the beginning of the century will be the topics discussed in this paper. Transformations that created a face to the city that, in its forms, although not linked to the most advanced avant-garde, represent a testimony of the new characteristics of the “modern” city. Within this evolutionary process of the province of Salerno there is the 1928 project of two engineers, Michele and his son Luigi De Angelis for the construction of the “Regio” School. In a first moment, several projects found in the archives refer mainly to the various l…
Shifting Imageries: Gentrification and the New Touristic Images of the Inner City of Palermo
2021
After the bombings of 1943, the historic centre of Palermo was left with several crumbling buildings and a social situation of some concern. Therefore, over the last sixty years, all kinds of representations of Palermo have revolved around the presence of criminal organizations and the risks of living in the most dangerous areas of the city (including the city centre). These representations started to change around the beginning of the new century when the inner city of Palermo underwent an intense process of redefinition of its territorial identity. Several key factors may be used to explain this process: from traditional economic reasons concerning gentrification and touristification, to …
Il ruolo delle città e dei territori-snodo nel policentrismo reticolare
2014
Riconoscendo nel policentrismo il modello insediativo che contraddistingue l’Unione Europea e nell’armatura delle città di secondo livello potenzialità alternative di sviluppo, la cui forza propulsiva è intrinseca nel loro specifico milieu e nelle differenze che alimentano le opportunità di connessione, si ritiene che le città debbano diventare generatori di flussi, produttori di identità, economie e nuove geografie, creare dinamismo urbano e interazioni spaziali capaci di attrarre reti locali e globali. È necessario, pertanto, definire meglio il ruolo delle città, le modalità di interazione e di sviluppo nel più ampio contesto territoriale.

From the vestiges port at the port hybrid: the experimental field of the waterfront 2.0
2012
Il contributo si propone di riflettere criticamente sulla possibilità di piani, programmi e progetti di riqualificare gli spazi portuali e di waterfront alla luce delle mutate condizioni del trasporto marittimo e passeggeri e in riferimento al conflitto tra funzioni portuali che richiedono spazi sempre maggiori e la crescita consolidata della città in cui il porto è inserito. L'armoniosa coesistenza di due realtà indipendenti, una porta attiva e una città viva, si sta tentando di raggiungere non solo attraverso l'unità fisica, ma generando flussi e sinergie. Il contributo esamina le aree di waterfront come campo di sperimentazione per un approccio sostenibile alle trasformazioni del territo…
The New Dense-city tra Collage City e Citta Analoga
2012
The Prin 2007 research project of the Palermo Unit. The New Dense-city between Collage City e Analogous Town. In the introductory paper submitted by the Palermo Unit, Andrea Sciascia transforms the results reached in the incipit allowing us to assess the entire path followed by the research excursus. A thorough examination has been carried out on the final plans, the so-called recompositions stemming from the the merging of a number of projects on the two neighbourhoods under study: Borgo Ulivia and ZEN. The reflection starts from a specific verb: densifying. The suburban fabric of the two neighbourhoods becomes more dense by adding those missing facilities, but especially by re-establishin…
Smart city initiatives, public real estate strategic management and new venture creation.
2015
During the last decade, academics have been involved in an interesting debate around the development of the so called Smart City Initiatives. In the prevailing mind-set, the success of the aforementioned initiatives has been based on pillars like ICT infrastructures, human capital, mobility, environment etc. This chapter focuses on the role played by public property assets within the framework of the Smart City initiatives, with a specific focus on those programs that aim to stimulate the creation of entrepreneurial ecosystem. More in detail, the research provides a theoretical and analytical scheme helping policy makers opt for the most suitable choices relating to the public property port…
Supporting public decision process in buildings energy retrofitting operations: the application of a Multiple Criteria Decision Aiding model to a cas…
2020
Abstract The challenge of promoting sustainable cities and reaching the objectives developed by the European Green Deal includes the renovation of the building sector, as it is responsible for 40% of energy consumption in Europe. Regional or local public administrations have to allocate their financial resources for improving the energy performances of their building stock and to face a multidimensional problem, where different aspects – such as energy efficiency, financial-economic feasibility and environmental protection – have to be harmonized. The present study proposes a Multiple Criteria Decision Aiding model, which includes the ELECTRE TRI-nC method, for supporting the public decisio…
