L'espace de liberté comme mesure synthétique du développement territorial durable
2011
By discussing the concept of development itself, authors propose two synthetic indexes relying on estimation of potential: Development Space Value and Development Space Creation Under the weak hypothesis that any successful development improves future possibilities, changes in potential are a good development measure. In their path, authors show how development space is tied with freedom: a shrink in it results mechanically in indexes fall. So, "sustainable" and "economic" become two sides of same piece rather than enemies. Reliable in simulations, the approach is to be tested in real conditions, to verify full data availability and to secure calculating methods.
Una piazza per il Belìce. Strategie per il Territorio Arcipelago
2019
Le grandi città globali non sono più gli unici contesti per la competizione territoriale: l’Italia è un importante esempio di un nuovo sistema di piccole e medie città, una sorta di arcipelago di spazi tenuti insieme da identità locali, animato dalle comunità, ma frenati da geografie impervie. L’articolo definisce come un territorio può applicare protocolli e azioni innovativi per la sfida dell’Italia interna. Questa “Inner Italy” può essere una piattaforma per l’innovazione locale, lo sviluppo sostenibile, la resilienza ecologica e sociale e la coesione territoriale, come mostrato nella letteratura internazionale, in riferimento sia al Territorio-Arcipelago (Carta, 2016), sia ai contesti u…
L'économie matérielle de la France (1830-2015). L'histoire d'un parasite ?
2018
This article explores the long-term dynamics of material use in France over a period of 185 years. It is based on material flow accounts that are perfectly consistent with the standards of Material Flows Analysis at the national economic scale. This work - which covers domestic extraction, imports and exports - is the first long-term study of material flows for France, with annual and national data for most of the period. Our database allows us to study the evolution of French metabolism during the industrialization of the country, together with the increasing dependence on abiotic materials. We highlight a singular metabolic trajectory: that of a state that benefits from successive world-s…
