Co-creating Urban Development: A Living Lab for Community Regeneration in the Second District of Palermo

2013

The characterisation of urban ‘smartness’ emerges as a product of social mobilisation, which marks the pathway towards collective technology adoption and policy innovation. This paper highlights the didactic and critical aspects that relate to the use of participatory solutions – namely the electronic Town Meeting and others, such as weblogs and the “Planning for Real” scheme – which start within the dimension of social animation and serious gaming and are only later oriented to urban planning. The Palermo pilot of the PARTERRE ICT-PSP project, based on the Territorial Living Lab approach, documents one possible transition from the stage of a free relationship with scenarios and visions, to…

Walkscapes. Un’esperienza professionalizzante a Palermo

2020

In seno al dibattito scientifico disciplinare, da alcuni anni ormai, si va sempre più affermando che il campo degli studi urbani, siano essi finalizzati alla sola pratica della conoscenza o ad un progetto di trasformazione, non può più prescindere da un approccio diretto e pensato per il luogo e nel luogo.

Le esperienze sono nate all’interno delle attività didattiche svolte presso il Corso di …
