Lo sprawl è un delitto

2014

Il contributo si sofferma sul rapporto tra consumo di suolo e dispersione insediativa declinandone le specificità e prefigurando alcune "soluzioni" al soil sealing.

Consumo di suolo. Un approccio multidisciplinare ad un tema trasversale

2014

Il testo affronta il tema "consumo di suolo" affrontando la sfida dei un confronto 'trasversale', affinchè si provi a individuare soluzioni comuni. Per agevolare il confronto interdisciplinare, il testo è suddiviso in due sezioni: teorie del consumo e territori del consumo. La sezione “territori del consumo” analizza casi-studio concreti con contributi di Teresa Cannarozzo, Giuseppe Giunta e Alessandra Giorgianni, Giuseppe Abbate, Filippo Schilleci, Annalisa Giampino, Giuseppe Guerrera, Tommaso La Mantia. La sezione "teorie del consumo" racchiude contributi a carattere teorico-metodologico. Vi si trovano testi di Giuseppina Carrà, Iuri Peri e Carlo Prato, Claudio Bellia, Giuseppe De Luca, N…

Quando i recinti tracimeranno. Lo sprawl e le insulae dello ZEN 2

2008

Dal 1989 mi interesso al quartiere ZEN di Palermo, al quale ho dedicato la tesi di dottorato, alcuni articoli, una monografia, molte lezioni, diversi progetti e, ovviamente, moltissimi sopralluoghi. Sono trascorsi, quindi, circa venti anni dalla fase iniziale di studio e ho avuto modo, in questo periodo, di seguire quelle trasformazioni che, insieme al quartiere, hanno riguardato l’area più a nord della Piana dei Colli. Punti di vista privilegiati per seguire e comprendere tali mutamenti sono il Monte Pellegrino e la strada panoramica che, almeno per una parte, si srotola, come un nastro, lungo il fianco che limita ad est il parco de La Favorita. Da molti degli sguardi offerti dal monte, c…

Mobilità e Urbanistica nella città diffusa

2014

The town that spreads in the territory no longer has “limits”, this urban sprawl produces the use of the land and an inevitable increase in demand for mobility. Since the contemporary town, organized only for those who use their car, does not guarantee those who want to move using public transport so a “slow” mobility could contribute to improving the quality of life in towns. This study reflects on a case study characterized by a continuous urbanization – a widespread town traveled “quickly” - to transform it, with sustainable urban planning and a multidisciplinary approach, in a landscape to cross through the design of different paths for different “speed”, for different types of users.

Simulating and assessing prospective scenarios

2008

The first part of the paper is centered on the phenomena of urban growth, in order to set the rules for a sustainable scenario of urban development. Then we enter the core of the paper that is the comparison of models. For each of the three compared models, we describe its main theoretical characteristics, the chosen parameters, and the obtained results. In section 6, heterogeneity of the produced results is discussed, and we highlight the points of interest and the lacks of the three models. Here we show that results we obtained feed debates about urban growth management. Finally, concluding remarks at the end of the paper address the general topic of the evaluation of the quality of simul…

Online activity traces around a "Boston bomber"

2013

This paper describes traces of user activity around a alleged online social network profile of a Boston Marathon bombing suspect, after the tragedy occurred. The analyzed data, collected with the help of an automatic social media monitoring software, includes the perpetrator's page saved at the time the bombing suspects' names were made public, and the subsequently appearing comments left on that page by other users. The analyses suggest that a timely protection of online media records of a criminal could help prevent a large-scale public spread of communication exchange pertaining to the suspects/criminals' ideas, messages, and connections.

Land Consumption: A Multidisciplinary Approach to a Cross-Cutting Theme

2016

The idea of the book emerged from one-day conference with the title: The Consumption of Land and Urban Renewal from Agrigento and its Hinterland], held in May 2012 in Agrigento, Sicily, organised by the author. The conference, which saw the participation of interested citizens, has provided the opportunity to inform and raise awareness among the general public about the international issue of land consumption, starting from an analysis of the local situation, marked by its best-known variation: urban sprawl.
