La 5th IABR di Rotterdam: How do we go about making city?
2012
The projects shown during the 5th IABR (International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam) "Making City", hold in Rotterdam in 2012, have treated the topic linked to the development of some specific contests, through the individuation of many factors which influence the urban planning, as global tendencies, cooperation and smart connections: these are necessary strategies to define a Smart City. They are connected not only to the infrastructures and to digital connections, but also to the business, understanding of technology, users for urban planning and control of features from which depends the success of future cities. From the integration’s ability of Architecture, urban planning and lands…
The city management: methodological considerations on multriple criteria techniques for the selection and aggregation of criteria
2012
The scientific community recognizes that factors such as “social cohesion”, “social quality”, “social capital” and other have a strategic role in the evaluation of the en-richment or the impoverishment of society which occurs in urban environment. These factors are used to evaluate the quality of a social system and to discriminate between different policy alternatives in the management of the city. Social cohesion, quality, equity, progress, etc. are aggregate indicators of urban quality, as they incorporate various components related to multiple points of view. The scientific community and some national and international institutions have proposed different sets of indicators for the esti…
Semiotica dello spazio, semiotica della città
2022
The paper will provide an overview of the semiotics of space as it has been investigated in Italy in the last twenty years. After identifying the semiotic relevance in the study of space, the distinction between objectivating and subjectivating conceptions is recalled, stressing how these two kinds of spatiality are such only by virtue of effects of meaning constructed by and in texts. We then examine two macro lines of research on which semiotics has focused: those on spatiality described and constructed in various types of narrative (space in the text) and those on experienced spatiality (space as text). The second part of the contribution is dedicated to a spatial text that, due to its c…
La produzione dello spazio democratico per il soddisfacimento del bene comune
2015
Nella storia della città lo spazio pubblico e le attrezzature collettive rappresentano da sempre luoghi di coesione, interscambio, relazione, condivisione e cooperazione per l’uomo, il quale manifesta il bisogno di abitare un luogo in cui possa relazionarsi con gli altri, formando una comunità ed una vita pubblica. Gli spazi collettivi rappresentano pertanto un beneficio per la comunità, in quanto diaframmi tra la sfera pubblica e la sfera privata, luoghi di uguaglianza e di democrazia, ove si alimenta il 'capitale sociale' e si annulla l’esclusione sociale e spaziale, a favore di un interscambio socio-culturale tra individui diversi. Nelle città globalizzate la disuguaglianza nella distrib…
La pluralità dello spazio pubblico: una analisi ricognitiva nel centro storico di Palermo
2011
La letteratura inerente allo sviluppo urbano moderno e postmoderno, da Michel Foucault a Henri Lefebvre, ha aperto un dibattito in merito alla concezione classica di apertura/accessibilità dello spazio pubblico, evidenziando aspetti quali la esclusione spaziale, la sorveglianza e il controllo sociale, la questione del “diritto alla città”. Si assiste ad una progressiva riduzione o sostituzione dello spazio pubblico – privatizzato, fortificato, commercializzato – di cui risentono in primis i soggetti più deboli e marginali. Talvolta emergono nuove forme di produzione sociale dello spazio, ad esempio tramite riappropriazione informale di “luoghi di scarto”. Il lavoro di ricerca ha focalizzato…
CONFLICTING CITIZENSHIP AND (RE)ACTIVE ZONES IN THE URBAN AREAS: CONFRONTING THE CASE OF BERLIN AND ROME
In tempi di crisi, la voglia di immaginare un futuro migliore e diverso prende il sopravvento. A partire dagli sconvolgimenti politici e sociali del '68 passando attraverso le crisi sistemiche del 1970 e ad ogni crisi da allora, le città europee hanno assistito a fenomeni di "riappropriazione" di spazi fisici urbani che sono stati sperimentati da movimenti sociali e volontariamente appropriati poi come pratiche dal basso dagli abitanti delle citta` che hanno utilizzanto la "occupazione" come una tattica legittima di protesta. Le pratiche di riappropriazione, sono state inoltre messe in pratica dalla cittadinanza insorgente, negli ultimi decenni, per resistere alla crisi dello stato sociale …
Is sustainable aligning with smartness in transport domain? – marketing perspective of smart city rankings
2022
Rising awareness of sustainable development challenges, along with the quest for optimization of the everyday functioning of the city, motivate many urban authorities to search for promising concepts and solutions. One of these is the smart city concept, which has gained governors of cities’ attention for little more than ten years.An object of research and development, it is still a distinctive feature for the cities that adopt this concept. City marketers use such distinction towards a large palette of beneficiaries of the city. At the same time, it deploys some traits suggesting synergies between the implementation of smart city solutions and sustainable development goals. The main objec…
Kędzierzyn-Koźle – dziedzictwo przeszłości w kulturze miasta przemysłowego na pograniczu etniczno-kulturowym
2021
The article draws attention to the issues of symbolic functioning of the city which was formed of two different entities as a result of political and economic decisions. In the 20th century, the history of a traditional city got entwined with a modernistic industrial city which was taking shape. As a result, ideologies and politics impacted on the newly-established conurbation. The city denotes not only the material sphere, but also its urban community, which, in the case of the places under study, was basically historically complicated. The method of description is the ‘culturalistic’ orientation in the study of the city and also the (emotional) sociolog y of Silesia of the Rev. Emil Szram…
Towards enabling privacy preserving smart city apps
2016
Smart city applications are increasingly relying on personally identifiable data. A disclosure of such a data to a platform provider and possible 3rd parties represents a risk to the privacy of the application users. To mitigate the privacy risk, two-layer privacy-preserving platform architecture is introduced, wherein the personally identifiable information is dealt with at the inner layer (executed in a trusted environment), whereas only generic and personally unidentifiable information is made available to the apps at the outer layer of the architecture — e.g., in a form of app-specific events. The essential requirements for the platform are described, and the architectural implications …
Rola technologii informacyjnych w kreowaniu smart city na przykładzie monitorowania rozprzestrzeniania się pandemii COVID-19
2022
Współczesne miasta stoją w obliczu ogromnych zmian, związanych nie tylko z postępującą urbanizacją, ale także ze starzeniem się społeczeństwa, szeroko rozumianym bezpieczeństwem i zdrowiem publicznym. Zrównoważony i dynamiczny rozwój miasta prowadzi do powstania nowej formy rozwoju urbanistycznego, który wykorzystuje nowe technologie informacyjno- informatyczne, takie jak m.in. IoT i Claud Computing, Big Data, Blockchain czy Industry 4.0. Narzędzia te wspierają procesy zarządcze w mieście i pozwalają na większą integrację wszystkich interesariuszy. Podłączenie do globalnej sieci wszystkich urządzeń przetwarzających dane pozwala na wzajemne komunikowanie się bez pośrednictwa człowieka. Zasto…
