AGRIGENTO SMART - Integration and sustainability in the regeneration of an urban public space. A case study.
2017
Agrigento, city of the Valley of the Temples, for a few decades it is only known for the "unauthorised development" (or sacco edilizio between the '50s and' 70s of the twentieth century). Today is trying to regain possession of those urban spaces subtracted from a foolish speculation, assigning to them a renewed urban and social connotation, beauty and utility, trying to heal some of the major wounds of the past. With the awareness that it is not a path easy, nor immediate. The issue of public space, and its renewed use today, assumes a crucial role in the process of urban regeneration. Our focus, of multidisciplinary approach, is aimed at the southern edge of the old town called "Square Ra…

Management of the image of the city in urban planning: experimental methodologies in the colour plan of the Egadi Islands
2022
AbstractThe debate over the value of the image of a city, which since the 1960s has been gaining wider room for reflection, has arisen as a criticism against the reductionism of the Modern Movement and highlighted the value of the qualitative aspects of an urban landscape. The question asked is if urban planning can in some way govern the image of a city. An investigation into which tools and strategies are necessary to defend the narrative of a city, its identity and its genius loci against the homologating forces that are transforming contemporary cities. The article explores the theoretical principles and methods being experimentally used to qualitatively manage the urban environment. Re…
From a Barrio Chino Urban Stigma to the Raval Cultural Brand: Urban Memory and Cultural Policies in the Renewal of Central Barcelona
2020
Barcelona, and especially, its historic center, has undergone a profound transformation from an industrial city to a global tourism and services center. Some authors insist on the destructive nature of the urban regeneration of the historic Barcelona district of Raval as a process of de-identification of the city center or as an intentional falsification of its identity to turn it into a tourist space. However, as we discuss in this article, urban branding and urban change projects should address not only the infrastructural issues of transformation, but also the development of new urban branding based on recreating a memory of the place. Thus, in the case of Raval, the urban and cultural …
Designing mobility in a city in transition : challenges from the case of Palermo
2014
Transport policy is one of the most crucial sectors in the process of adaptation of contemporary cities to the challenge of sustainable development. For its close relation with social habits and people behaviors, in fact, innovation in transports play a strategic role both in the decreasing of the environmental impact of mobility and in the improvement of the quality of the built environment. To do so, however, cities need to reach a more effective integration between transport policy and land-use planning, as well as taking full advantage by the spreading of new technologies. In this context, this paper discusses the challenges provided by the reshaping of the transport system in the metro…
Understanding the EU Urban Agenda from the margins of Europe: the case of Porto
2022
This research focuses on the EU regional policy and presents a critical analysis of its influence on the urban regeneration process in the Portuguese city of Porto.

Among the actions that have been implemented are two area-based interventions linked to the EU Cohesion Policy. The study allowed to put forward a series of consideration regarding the influence of EU initiatives in this southwestern European city and hopefully the insights resulting from it will not only help to understand local effects of EU instruments at the level of imp…
Palermo Waterfront: the “fluid city” planning
2012
The most dynamic cities in the future will no longer be those that are able to attract iconic urban projects and investors driven by the real estate market focused on waterfront development, but the cities that have extensive cultural and ecological coastal resources and that are able to use them as the basis for creating new social identity and economic value. In a growing dematerialised development, the waterfronts of European cities are intersected by flows of the Network Society. They are subjects of experience economy and crossed by more powerful forces of regeneration and creativity-driven development. After the simple function of interfaces between sea and land, waterfronts are going…
Dal waterfront alla città liquida. Patologie relazionali e nuovi orizzonti del progetto
2012
I waterfront delle città europee si offrono alla nostra azione progettuale come rinnovate porte di scambio tra flussi di economie. Oltre che da fasci infrastrutturali sono sempre più attraversati da economie della conoscenza, da potenti forze di rigenerazione e sviluppo e molteplici economie di scambio li alimentano e ne connotano le fisionomie. Superata la funzione di semplici interfacce tra mare e terra, assumono quella di “portali” di connessione globale dei flussi materiali e immateriali. Da aree produttive, commerciali e funzionali si propongono come trasformatori di economie tra le reti lunghe globali e le armature dei contesti locali. Le nuove funzioni produttive e della mobilità nav…
Le aree periurbane come cerniera tra città e campagna: una strategia di riassetto territoriale fondata sui valori della contemporaneità
2017
Il paper indaga sulle forme relazionali urbano-rurali e focalizza l'attenzione sulla dimensione ecologico-paesaggistica e su quella alimentare. Sono individuati alcuni degli obiettivi che la società contemporanea deve prefiggersi, poiché le è richiesto un cambiamento di visione della realtà territoriale e degli spazi di risulta interposti tra la città e la campagna propriamente dette: ridefinire le funzioni di tali spazi in un'ottica lontana da quella urbanocentrica, la quale attribuirebbe ruoli marginali e ancillari all'agricoltura.
