House Housing. An untimely history of architecture and real estate In nineteen episodes Housing / Una storia inattuale dell’architettura e dei beni i…
2014
House Housing è il titolo della mostra allestita dal Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture al secondo piano di Casa Muraro, nei locali di proprietà della Columbia University, durante il mese di giugno 2014, e che coinciderà con l’apertura della Quattordi- cesima Mostra Internazionale di Architettura di Venezia. Realizza- ta da un gruppo di ricercatori della Columbia, la mostra è allestita in forma di open house e presenta gli inizi di un progetto di lunga durata incentrato sull’analisi critica del coinvolgimento dell’architettura con il mercato immobiliare, in special modo nel campo della progettazione residenziale. La mostra è una risposta—seppur non sollecitata—…
The Impact of Culture and Creativity on the Economy of the City
2019
Abstract Creativity is an important component of the economy for modern cities, and necessary condition for it is the qualitative understanding of the economic theory science. In the global competition, it plays an important role for the economic growth dynamics, which is directly related to human resource role in the modern economy. The competitiveness of the territories depends on their attractiveness to economically active individuals and the opportunities they provide with economic growth. When considering the creative and cultural industries as potential economic development factors in the urban economy, culture can be considered as a new stage in urban development based on quality of …
Palermo multiculturale tra gentrification e crisi del mercato immobiliare nel centro storico
2015
Il multiculturalismo è una caratteristica della città post-industriale con la quale la pianificazione deve confrontarsi attraverso nuovi paradigmi. Il saggio illustra le analisi sperimentali condotte in un’area del centro storico di Palermo, al fine di valutare l’eventuale coinvolgimento dei migranti nei processi di gentrification, nel controverso panorama di politiche urbane di rigenerazione e di crisi economica e immobiliare. Alcune misure correttive delle politiche pubbliche sono individuate per tutelare il mix socio-culturale. Multiculturalism is a characteristic of the post-industrial city, which will challenge planning through new paradigms. The essay discusses the experimental analys…
Housing Affordability in Metropolitan Areas. The Application of a Combination of the Ratio Income and Residual Income Approaches to Two Case Studies …
2017
Housing affordability problems have become more serious over the course of the last few decades and are now also affecting the middle-class, despite the fall in prices on the housing market. This study proposes a methodology to assess threshold-income as an index for measuring housing affordability by applying a combination of the ratio income and residual income approaches. The methodology is applied to two particular areas of Sicily in Italy as case studies consisting of medium-size metropolitan areas located in a less developed European region. The areas have been chosen on the basis of their different territorial structure: a polarized area that comprises a high-density city centre and …
The Footprints of a “Mastodon”: How a Decentralized Architecture Influences Online Social Relationships
2019
Decentralized online social networks (DOSNs) have recently emerged as a viable solution to preserve the users' privacy and ensure higher users' control over the contents they publish. However, little is known about the backlashes that the decentralized organization and management of these platforms may have on the overlaid social network. This paper fills the gap. Specifically, we investigate how a decentralized architecture based on distributed servers impacts the structure of the users' neighborhood and their ego-networks. Our analysis relies on social data gathered from the decentralized micro-blogging platform Mastodon, the newest and fastest-growing decentralized alternative to Twitter…

Location Theories and Business Location Decision: A Micro-Spatial Investigation of a Nonmetropolitan Area in Canada
2016
International audience; This paper draws on location theories to statistically identify the relationship between the location of individual business establishments and the characterization of their local economic environment. Taking a microspatial perspective, the paper develops indicators from distance-based measures (DBM) to serve as independent variables in a discrete choice model (DCM). Using a 2006 database of individual business establishments in the Lower-St-Lawrence region—a coherent, nonmetropolitan subsystem of cities in the province of Québec, Canada—we provide an empirical analysis of the determinants of individual establishments’ location decisions in relation to their main eco…
Origin and diversity of testate amoebae shell composition: Example of Bullinularia indica living in Sphagnum capillifolium
2017
Testate amoebae are free-living shelled protists that build a wide range of shells with various sizes, shapes, and compositions. Recent studies showed that xenosomic testate amoebae shells could be indicators of atmospheric particulate matter (PM) deposition. However, no study has yet been conducted to assess the intra-specific mineral, organic, and biologic grain diversity of a single xenosomic species in a natural undisturbed environment. This study aims at providing new information about grain selection to develop the potential use of xenosomic testate amoebae shells as bioindicators of the multiple-origin mineral/organic diversity of their proximal environment. To fulfil these objective…
Impact of anaerobic digestates on microbial communities of agricultural soils
2022
Anaerobic digestion of organic waste is considered as a key process to produce renewable energy to meet the growing sustainable energy demand. The residues of this anaerobic digestion, called digestates, can be used in agriculture as soil amendments and improve crop yields. However, the effect of digestates on soil biota, especially on microorganisms is still debated and needs to be better documented before their use at large scale in agricultural fields. The objective of the present thesis was to assess the effect of digestates on soil microbial community in different geographical and pedoclimatic contexts on the French territory. This thesis is divided in two parts. The first part takes p…
Human capital and RD Driven Growth: analyse for France at regional level on the long run
2012
At the root of the Lisbon goal, for Europe, is placed the awareness for advocating a close link between growth and dissemination of advanced knowledge and innovation, on the one hand, and raising in general endowments in human capital, on the other hand, as to have power over the development of non-specific skills and boost efficiency. Much work in literature also stressed the interest of the position concerning traditional activities in the geography of innovation and links, in the long term, between the spatial distribution of longestablished skills and knowledge creation. Following Jones, in this approach, for which contribution to R&D and innovation explains half of the increase in weal…
