Progettare città nel tempo della metamorfosi
2013
Metamorfosi è una potente parola-guida della contemporaneità. E’ un impegno di cui numerosi segni ci facevano intravedere la necessità durante gli anni propulsivi della globalizzazione e molteplici indizi tracciavano la strada da percorrere. Ma, anestetizzati dalle aporie dello sviluppo, li abbiamo ignorati, emarginandoli nella ecosofia o reagendo in modo impulsivo con seducenti inni alla decrescita felice. Oggi invece gli anni recessivi di una crisi che non è una semplice stagione di attraversamento ci chiedono la responsabilità di un mutamento di paradigma che conduca alla metamorfosi ecologica, culturale, economica, sociale e politica. Ma il mutamento sarà soprattutto urbano, perché vivi…
The Creative Land. Heritage and Creativity in the Neo-Anthropocene
2017
Urban creativity is a hard challenge, because it doesn’t need rules or models, but adaptive protocols applicable in different local contexts, able to mount resources, capacity building and creative environments. It challenges us to find local features that could provide good practices to be turned into methodologies or components to forge new urban and human regeneration tools, based on the cultural armature and citizens engagement. We live in a Creative Land composed by generative cities, a wide palimpsest of innovation labs, as experimented by several worldwide networks supporting what’s variously termed social enterprise, community interest companies, impact economy, organizations that a…
Augmented City : a Paradigm Shift
2017
Augmented City is a spatial/cultural/social/economic platform for enhancing our contemporary life, individual and collective, informal and institutional. If we live and act in a reality permanently improved by hard and soft devices, our cities must be more responsive to our behavioral changes. In incoming Neo-Anthropocene cities are " vibrant organisms of space and community, of data and information, of sensors and actuators, of actions and reactions, of urban/rural metabolism generated by people and environment both.
Creative Cities in Italy: new scenarios and projects
2013
Reflections on and experimentation with urban creativity as a competitive factor put together in recent years, starting with the works of Florida and Landry, gave rise to further theoretical/operative reflections aimed at providing a greater territorial dimension to the creative city, lessening the rhetorical character and increasing that of the concrete effects on the quality of life. In 2007 my book “Creative City: Dynamics, Innovations, Actions” identified the need for concrete evolution and pointed out the factors that make it possible for urban creativity to become a launch pad for new economies and a creative force for new cities and not simply an attractive force for intellectual res…

Re-think, Re-load, Re-cycle: Mediterranean Urban Metamorphosis
2013
Metamorphosis is the new and powerful keyword in time of crisis. We are not undergoing a mere -even though dramaticpassing situation, but we are living in a crisis which requires a metamorphosis of the ecological, cultural, economic, social and political systems to get out of it other than we were when entering it. The metamorphosis will have to be mainly urban, because we are now in the Urban Age in which more than half the population live and work in cities, at levels exceeding 80% in Europe. The city, as the predominant form of inhabiting, is invested with the “responsibility” of producing innovative, more sustainable, intelligent and creative life styles, able of generating the innovati…
Re-imagine, Re-load, Re-cycle: New Urbanism for the City of Future
2014
The failure of European development model based on financial protocols urges the need to "re-think capitalism" toward a greater spatial dimension and a different approach in the use/reuse/reduction of the capitals utilised in development processes. Especially in Mediterranean Europe we have to restart from urban capitals (space, identity, quality, service and production) using them as renewed engines of sustainable growth (RE-IMAGINE). In the global change scenario, the shrinking city produces several urban "fragments", functional "chips" and "scraps" of development that, through a recycling process/project, can be brought back into urban infrastructures for new cycles of life (RE-CYCLE). T…
From Waterfront Regeneration to Fluid City Planning
2013
In current global crisis the strong flows of financial, social and relational capitals that powered urban regeneration over the last fifteen years are no longer available to be tapped in an indiscriminate manner as was the case until just a few years ago. The most dynamic cities in the future will no longer be those that are able to attract urban projects and investors driven by the real estate market or leisure-based development, but the cities that have deep and different cultural resources and that are able to use them as the basis for creating new urban cultures and for generating new economic values. Revitalising waterfront is no longer easy opportunity for long-term investments or for…
Palermo Living Lab on the road
2017
“Re-cycle Palermo Lab on the road”, esperienza iniziata nel 2013 e giunta alla sua terza edizione, è dedicata alla visita critica di luoghi ed esperienze e allo scambio di riflessioni con studiosi che concorrono alla declinazione dei paradigmi e degli strumenti di un nascente Re-cycling Urbanism. Il contributo racconta l’iniziativa che ha coinvolto gli studenti del Laboratorio di Urbanistica Creative City del Dipartimento di Architettura dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo, tenuto dal prof. Maurizio Carta, che hanno aderito alla Ricerca Nazionale “Re-Cycle Italy. Nuovi cicli di vita per architetture e infrastrutture della città e del paesaggio”, sperimentando diverse modalità di approccio…
