Consumo di suolo. Un approccio multidisciplinare ad un tema trasversale
2014
Il testo affronta il tema "consumo di suolo" affrontando la sfida dei un confronto 'trasversale', affinchè si provi a individuare soluzioni comuni. Per agevolare il confronto interdisciplinare, il testo è suddiviso in due sezioni: teorie del consumo e territori del consumo. La sezione “territori del consumo” analizza casi-studio concreti con contributi di Teresa Cannarozzo, Giuseppe Giunta e Alessandra Giorgianni, Giuseppe Abbate, Filippo Schilleci, Annalisa Giampino, Giuseppe Guerrera, Tommaso La Mantia. La sezione "teorie del consumo" racchiude contributi a carattere teorico-metodologico. Vi si trovano testi di Giuseppina Carrà, Iuri Peri e Carlo Prato, Claudio Bellia, Giuseppe De Luca, N…
Simulating and assessing prospective scenarios
2008
The first part of the paper is centered on the phenomena of urban growth, in order to set the rules for a sustainable scenario of urban development. Then we enter the core of the paper that is the comparison of models. For each of the three compared models, we describe its main theoretical characteristics, the chosen parameters, and the obtained results. In section 6, heterogeneity of the produced results is discussed, and we highlight the points of interest and the lacks of the three models. Here we show that results we obtained feed debates about urban growth management. Finally, concluding remarks at the end of the paper address the general topic of the evaluation of the quality of simul…
Land Consumption: A Multidisciplinary Approach to a Cross-Cutting Theme
2016
The idea of the book emerged from one-day conference with the title: The Consumption of Land and Urban Renewal from Agrigento and its Hinterland], held in May 2012 in Agrigento, Sicily, organised by the author. The conference, which saw the participation of interested citizens, has provided the opportunity to inform and raise awareness among the general public about the international issue of land consumption, starting from an analysis of the local situation, marked by its best-known variation: urban sprawl.
