Multitemporal mapping of peri-urban carbon stocks and soil sealing from satellite data.

2017

Abstract Peri-urbanisation is the expansion of compact urban areas towards low-density settlements. This phenomenon directly challenges the agricultural landscape multifunctionality, including its carbon (C) storage capacity. Using satellite data, we mapped peri-urban C stocks in soil and built-up surfaces over three areas from 1993 to 2014 in the Emilia-Romagna region, Italy: a thinly populated area around Piacenza, an intermediate-density area covering the Reggio Emilia-Modena conurbation and a densely anthropized area developing along the coast of Rimini. Satellite-derived maps enabled the quantitative analysis of spatial and temporal features of urban growth and soil sealing, expressed …

Shanghai, tra Cina e Mondo. Eccezione e regola di una città esemplare

2018

C’è un luogo a Shanghai dove lo spaesamento per le dimensioni della metropoli si accompagna ad una presa di coscienza – impattante e quasi fisica – delle questioni dello sviluppo urbano contemporaneo, che si applica alle grandi conurbazioni del Sud-Est asiatico e che ha proprio qui uno dei suoi casi più eclatanti: Shanghai è emblema di quel fenomeno che Cesare De Seta (anche nel suo recente volume edito da Rizzoli La città. Da Babilonia alla Smart City) definisce global city. There is a place in Shanghai where the disorientation for the metropolis’ huge dimensions comes with the awareness – impacting and almost physical – of the issues of contemporary urban development. It’s a feeling you c…
