Creative City Reloaded. Ecological Planning for the Changing Times

2012

Abitiamo, lavoriamo e ci muoviamo nella Urban Age, ed iI successo della città come forma prevalente dell’abitare non solo le assegna il ruolo di growth machine dello sviluppo, motore dell’evoluzione e del dinamismo delle comunità, ma la carica anche della responsabilità di essere un modello positivo - oltre che vincente - generatore di stili di vita innovativi, più sostenibili, intelligenti e creativi. Le città si propongono come potenti attrattrici della popolazione non solo dalle zone rurali, ma – con maggiore vigore in epoca di crisi – anche da altre città, intra-regionali o addirittura trans-nazionali, ed il flusso di capitale sociale che le attraversa può alimentarne la rigenerazione e…

Creative City 3.0: smart cities for the urban age

The most dynamic cities in the near future will no longer be those that are able to attract urban projects driven by the real estate market, or hedge funds, but the cities that have extensive cultural and identifying resources and that are able to use them as the basis for creating new culture and new urban value. Today…

2009

The network of European Union creative cities is a powerful new configuration of dynamic, innovative and action-oriented cities, able to transform the space using their network of cultural heritage and activities.

Strategic Vision of a Euro-Mediterranean Port City: A Case Study of Palermo

2013

Italian harbours assume a decisive role in order to develop a Euro-Mediterranean web for maritime transportation. The geostrategic position of the Italian peninsula can be seen as a logistic platform at the centre of the maritime trades in the Mediterranean area, giving to its port cities the role of gateway of economic flows. The port poles, meant as hubs, are able to attract investments and create economic growth and territorial development through new operative models of urban usage and management. The management policies have to consider the environmental characteristics and distinctive features, respecting the identity of the places as concrete evidence of history, a source of intellec…

The most dynamic cities in the future will no longer be those that are able to attract big projects and rich investors driven by the real estate market or leisure-based development, but the cities have deep socio-cultural diversity an…
