Cultivating a ‘Digital Jungle’ : Toward a Hybrid Governance Perspective on Infrastructure Evolution
2020
Digital infrastructures (DIs) evolve rather than following planned development trajectories. We know this phenomenon as drift, that is, infrastructures drift from management control. Infrastructure drift has motivated research into infrastructure governance recognizing two governance approaches: top-down and bottom-up. Yet, what happens if an organization engaging in its digital transformation expands its DI following top-down governance while simultaneously introducing elements of bottomup governance? We study how an industrial manufacturer expanded its DI for collaboration top-down while also giving employees leeway for bottom-up governance. As a result, it found that its digital collabor…
ARCHITETTURA/INFRASTRUTTURA. Tessuti urbani e nuovi paesaggi
2013
Attraverso il materiale raccolto in questo volume, si vuole contribuire all’ordinamento e alla sistematizzazione degli apporti critici e degli apparati documentali intorno alla tematica che indaga il rapporto tra architettura e opera infrastrutturale. La sempre maggiore necessità di una verifica e messa a punto di strategie capaci di creare le basi migliori per determinare una sintesi operativa sulle questioni che derivano dalle trasformazioni che l’opera infrastrutturale determina all’interno dei nostri territori, urbani e naturali, si ritiene debba anche passare da un esame che proviene dal dibattito disciplinare e dall’esperienze sul campo, quest’ultima attraverso lo studio di opere e pr…
Ecological Functions in the City. Green Infraestructure In Vitoria-Gasteiz
2015
Negli anni recenti, la pianificazione ha cominciato a fare uso di una sorta di razionalità ecologica, nel disegnare le città, che ha portato all’introduzione di misure volte ad accogliere le funzioni naturali nell’ambiente urbano. Da questo punto di vista, Vitoria-Gasteiz nei Paesi Baschi (Spagna) spicca per aver cercato molto a lungo, nella sua storia, di instaurare una relazione equilibrata fra la città e il suo contesto ambientale. Il caso ha ottenuto notorietà internazionale nel 2012, quando la città è stata premiata come “European Green Capital”. Oltre a questa riconosciuta esperienza, a renderla unica è la sua posizione geografica nel Sud dell’Europa, lontano dagli esempi più noti dei…

Cyclists' Perception of Maintenance and Operation of Cycling Infrastructure—Results From a Norwegian Survey
2021
Aasvik O and Bjørnskau T (2021) Cyclists’ Perception of Maintenance and Operation of Cycling Infrastructure—Results From a Norwegian Survey. Front. Psychol. 12:696317. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2021.696317 The Norwegian authorities want to limit the extent of car use in city areas to existing levels. Such a limitation would help combat climate change, improve health of citizens, and alleviate congestion. This implies that any further increase in transport needs will have to be met by walking, cycling and use of public transport. Reaching this ambitious goal requires knowledge about cyclists' preferences concerning operation and maintenance (M&O) of roads and foot/cycle paths. Previous research sug…
