Normatywne kształtowanie terenów zieleni w mieście podstawą budowania zrównoważonych miast
2021
Tereny zieleni w mieście są istotnym zagadnieniem w kształtowaniu struktury funkcjonalno-przestrzennej miasta, a także kształtowania jego rozwoju w sposób zrównoważony. W literaturze przedmiotu zwraca się uwagę na konieczność dążenia do równowagi między celami społecznymi, ekologicznymi i ekonomicznymi, które powinny być definiowane w polityce rozwoju jednostek terytorialnych różnych szczebli, w tym także miast. Istotne jest również zachowanie równości międzypokoleniowej m.in. poprzez zachowanie zasobów środowiska (Fiedor, 2002,s. 23). J. Słodczyk zwraca uwagę, że w realizacji koncepcji miasta zrównoważonego istotne są takie zagadnienia jak m.in. forma przestrzenna miasta, proekologiczne ro…
Per un ripensamento dello standard in chiave prestazionale: un caso studio a Palermo
2017
Il contributo nasce dallo studio dell’esperienza di Parco Uditore, un'area verde di Palermo, diventata nel 2012 parco pubblico in seguito a una mobilitazione civica. L'apertura del parco in una circoscrizione che, parimenti alle altre a Palermo, risulta carente di aree attrezzate ha indotto un ragionamento sull'ipotesi di stabilire dei parametri prestazionali, oltre che di superficie, per gli spazi pubblici verdi. Seguendo una metodologia induttiva e comparativa, rispetto a modelli sperimentati in altri contesti, il contributo si propone di verificare se dall’osservazione del caso di Parco Uditore sia possibile estrapolare parametri prestazionali da affiancare alla dotazione minima dello st…
Describing urban soils through a faceted system ensures more informed decision-making
2016
Urban areas are increasing worldwide at a dramatic rate and their soils definitely deserve more attention than they have received in the past. In urban environments, soils potentially provide the same ecosystem services as in rural and wild environments, although in some cases they are depleted of their basic functions, such as when they lose their productive and filtering capacities because of sealing, and become mere supports for infrastructures. In other cases, soils of urban areas acquire new functions that are unique to these environments. Current soil classifications fail to effectively account for the complexity of urban soils and the information that is required for their management…
The Urban Exposome during Pregnancy and Its Socioeconomic Determinants
2018
Background: The urban exposome is the set of environmental factors that are experienced in the outdoor urban environment and that may influence child development. Objective: The authors’ goal was to describe the urban exposome among European pregnant women and understand its socioeconomic determinants. Methods: Using geographic information systems, remote sensing and spatio-temporal modeling we estimated exposure during pregnancy to 28 environmental indicators in almost 30,000 women from six population-based birth cohorts, in nine urban areas from across Europe. Exposures included meteorological factors, air pollutants, traffic noise, traffic indicators, natural space, the built environment…
Giustizia ambientale e recupero delle aree verdi: il caso di Palermo
2021
L’urban shrinkage è diventata una questione centrale tanto nel dibattito scientifico quanto nell’agenda politica di diverse città europee. Secondo i dati EUROSTAT (2019), circa il 40% delle città europee con più di 200.000 abitanti stanno perdendo popolazione; una contrazione che si esplicita maggiormente, sotto il profilo spaziale, in una progressiva sottoutilizzazione del patrimonio edificato, così come nel contestuale incremento di aree e terreni in stato di abbandono. In questo quadro controverso di mutazione strutturale della città, così come l’abbiamo conosciuta, le politiche urbane alla prova in Europa tentano di declinare la decrescita quale occasione strategica di investimento sull…
Urban Greening management in the framework of Smart City Development
2014
Quality of green spaces is an important indicator in the smart urban evolution. Integration between green management needs and ecosystem services within environmental policies and local development plans is often very limited. Urban green infrastructures and related issues still arouse poor interest, mainly in South Mediterranean cities. Methods for full assessment of urban green areas integrating diverse features of sustainability (from biodiversity to public awareness and fruition) are still lacking. Here we aim to present an integrated tool to evaluate/monitor the state and sustainability of urban green spaces. The goal is to support the governance systems of urban green areas by focusin…
