Gaming as a Key Approach for the Recovery Process of a Public Space: The Case Study of the Old Chemical Plant ‘Chimica Arenella’ in Palermo
2021
This poster describes the FORGE (FactOry of uRban GamEs) project, a proposal that our research group launched in partnership with the Municipality of Palermo (Italy) and other local stakeholders in 2019. FORGE will be hosted in what was previously a chemical plant (the former 'Chimica Arenella') and is an open factory designed to collect needs and to generate interventions for urban innovation. The four key terms we have used for the project are urban, game, factory and participation. In fact, FORGE employs a participatory methodological model based on the concept of game, aimed at supporting social and economic development through a platform for participatory co-design. FORGE plays also a …

Who is entitled for the recognition of public right in the urban domain? A perspective from the southern Italian context
2015
Who has the right of access to public space of the city and what are the limits to this access varies depending on the circumstances: the shift between the public and private sphere, the economic- institutional system, laws and planning tools. If many scholars focus on relational values of public/political spaces, the sphere of public facilities is a central issue. In Italy this issue is ruled by an ancient national law, aimed at ensuring minimum collective rights, the so-called urban standards as mandatory quantity of areas to locate within the municipal plans. Although many regions of Northern Italy have satisfied and raised this standard, the southern areas remain in a situation of sever…
Gated communities a latitudini 'meridiane'
2015
Il processo di privatizzazione che investe le estese periferie territoriali contemporanee si afferma in forme dell’abitare sempre più segregate e chiuse. E se all’inizio del processo di suburbanizzazione, in Italia, le forme dell’abitare nel disperso trovavano espressione nella villetta isolata con giardino, negli ultimi decenni la tendenza emergente è legata alla diffusione crescente delle cosiddette gated communities. A fronte di tale problematicità, con riferimento al contesto italiano, si riscontra un vuoto cognitivo sia qualitativo che quantitativo sul fenomeno in quanto ritenuto marginale in nome di una presunta efficacia normativa dei sistemi di pianificazione nel garantire spazi e s…
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…

Wymiar społeczny w projektowaniu zrównoważonego rozwoju miasta
2020
Artykuł zawiera rozważania na temat związku społecznie zrównoważonego rozwoju miasta i projektowania urbanistycznego.

Privileged places in the city: urban quality, livability, sustainability
2022
Public spaces are privileged places in the city. Unfortunately, conurbation phenomena have taken over, leaving local places and identities to disintegrate, marking a clear break between community and settlement, obstructing the common good and the use of public spaces. To improve well-being and quality of life, public spaces must be attractive and safe, which is why they must be designed according to principles that meet the needs and expectations of all citizens, with particular attention to the weakest, as indicated in the Public Space Charter in 2013, in line with the European Landscape Convention and the United Nations Program for Human Settlements (UN-Habitat).

2014
A partire dall’analisi di due casi studio di (ri)appropriazione e riconversione temporanea a fini “pubblici” di aree inutilizzate, quali le appropriazioni/(ri)appropriazioni dell’ex-aeroporto di Tempelhof a Berlino e del “laghetto” in via Prenestina a Roma, l’articolo si propone di esplorare alcuni interrogativi quali: E’ possibile costituire una alternativa reale alla riduzione/sostituzione dello spazio pubblico, dovuta in gran parte ai problemi di bilancio che minacciano l’operatività delle amministrazioni locali, valorizzando le esperienze di auto-organizzazione, auto-gestione e partecipazione emerse nelle nostre città? Come interpretare/tradurre in strategie e metodi operativi la pressa…
