PROPOSTA DI RIGENERAZIONE E GESTIONE DEGLI SPAZI PUBBLICI NELLA CITTÀ DI KOS, GRECIA
2021
The theme falls within the proposals of strategies, tools and forms of housing and urban regeneration and tackles the case of the city of Kos. There currently the recovery and the enhancement of public space in the city is being attempted, and specifically of those urban areas which have long suffered very strong exploitation pressure by private interests as a result of tourism.
Azioni di rigenerazione urbana e umana nel Piano della Marina nel Centro Storico di Palermo
2019
Il paper propone un contributo che indaga la possibilità di interventi su contesti storici con una chiave di lettura che si allontana da un approccio di sola conservazione e si sposta più verso una nuova visione, che in linea con il recente documento curato dall’Associazione Nazionale Centri Storico Artistici “Centri Storici e futuro del paese - Indagine nazionale sulla situazione dei Centri Storici”, ipotizza azioni volte ad un equilibrio degli usi e ad un’armonia sociale, alla protezione del tessuto minore e degli spazi pubblici e a nuove politiche per la città, per il patrimonio culturale e per lo sviluppo economico. L’ipotesi progettuale proposta è stata oggetto della discussione di tes…
Una forma di città sostenibile per il recupero dei centri storici mediterranei. Il disegno della città storica intelligente.
2014
Nella città contemporanea la questione relativa alla riqualificazione urbanistica, culturale e ambientale si sta accostando ad ambiti sempre più ampi che implicano la costruzione di nuovi modelli urbani, come quelli delle smart cities. Nell’ambito della rigenerazione dei centri storici mediterranei, parlare di disegni urbani smart, può condurre alla sovrapposizione consapevole di due realtà: quella del patrimonio storico e quella della tecnologia d’innovazione. In questa visione la tecnologia assume una diversa fisionomia, quella propria della struttura virtuale che diventa prerogativa del disegno di città intelligente. La questione energetica e l’integrazione di sistemi nervosi digitali al…
The influence of EU policy on local policy-making, governance and urban change. Evidence from Porto, Portugal
2021
Porto has long been a site of experimentation in the field of European urban policies, implemented through different initiatives and supported by EU funding. The paper describes the different urban regeneration experiences that have been undertaken by the city, analyses the nature of the policy instruments which have been implemented, and in what ways they relate to local policy-making, governance and development. What emerges from this analysis is a more complex perspective of the relationship between local/national/European policies, which needs a broader understanding of local processes to understand the emergence and transfer of the holistic approach promoted by the EU.
Drawing as a tool for urban regeneration. Application case: the Color Plan of the Egadi Islands
2018
The Egadi Islands, at the western end of Sicily, preserve a cultural and environmental heritage of extraordinary originality. Man’s work, over time, has transformed the landscape: the territory has been shaped by economic activities related to tuna fishing, stone extraction, agriculture. Today, the pressure of tourism threatens to upset this delicate balance built, in centuries, between people and environment. Therefore, the Municipal Administra- tion decided to adopt a Color Plan to manage, in cultural terms, the inevitable processes of territorial transformations. The University and the INBAR (National Institute of Bio-architecture) collaborate with the Municipality to define the Guidelin…
Piazzetta Mediterraneo, Palermo
2020
Nello scenario post-crisi attuale, che ha visto la sensibile riduzione delle risorse pubbliche per i progetti di rigenerazione urbana, in molte realtà urbane italiane e non solo, stiamo assistendo alla crescita di una serie di pratiche urbane micro-spaziali che stanno ridisegnando gli spazi urbani. In questo quadro generale, particolarmente significative risultano le esperienze di rigenerazione avviate a Palermo in cui lo spazio pubblico urbano risulta essere l’esito di pratiche informali avviate dagli abitanti e, successivamente, “riconosciute” dalle politiche urbane ufficiali dell’Amministrazione comunale. In particolare, il contributo presenta l’esperienza di Piazzetta del Mediterraneo, …
Mediterranean waterfront Atlas: a tool for knowledge and decison-making
2012
The evolution of coastal urban and peri-urban areas between Malta and Sicily are the subject of extensive study that aims to build new tools and new approaches to planning in coastal areas. The project Italy-Malta WATERFRONT (of which the writer is a collaborator in the research activities for University of Palermo) adopts the logical and functional structure of the Atlas as a tool for understanding, interpretation, planning and monitoring of the transformations of four sample areas identified along the coastal border of Sicily and Malta. The Atlas aims to identify whether the Mediterranean territories under study require specific planning tools and, therefore, directs the decision-making p…
Waterfronts between Sicily and Malta: an integrated and creative planning approach
2012
In current global crisis, with the world’s GDPs dropping, the strong flows of financial, social and relational capitals that powered urban regeneration over the last fifteen years are no longer available to be tapped in an indiscriminate manner. Revitalising waterfront is no longer easy opportunity for long-term investments or for using the financial capital gains of hedge funds or sovereign funds, but a more creative port city has to provide precious opportunities for real development that is able to produce effects in both the domain of quality of public spaces and that of economic development. In this scenario acts an international cooperation project between Italy and Malta about waterf…
Il ruolo della periferia nella costruzione della città moderna
2023
The essay critically traces some exempla of public residential housing that have characterised the development of the urban periphery of 20th century Italian cities. There are many experiences that describe the close union that existed throughout the last century between the suburbs and the construction of new public housing in our country. In this regard, three different historical thresholds that mark as many significant moments in the urban history of Italian cities are identified. The different periods correspond with the promulgation of likewise laws. The first one in chronological order was the Luzzati Law, which tried to respond to the industrial city needs for new housing through th…
Manipolazione tipologica
2021
The team, since the early stages of the project, has worked with the will to seize, in collaboration and multidisciplinary dialogue, an opportunity for cultural and scientific growth to achieve shared solutions. The regeneration of the area subject of this study has assumed four elementary actions as operational tools declined to the urban, architectural and technological scale: include, subtract, add and connect. In Tor Bella Monaca, the lack of sense of urbanity is the real cause of environmental discomfort. The size, the layout and the position of the large residential units deprive the inhabitants of a sense of belonging to the city that has been reformulated by reorganizing the greener…
