Enhancing Collaborative Governance to Build Active Citizenship through Social Inclusion in Historical Neighborhood Regeneration: A Dynamic Performanc…
2021
Active citizenship and collaborative governance can be supported to enhance urban regeneration and social inclusion through Dynamic Performance Governance (DPG). The problem of urban decay and urban decline is identified as the main problem that continues to affect cities and urban areas. The study focuses on the urban regeneration experience of the historic urban neighborhood of Ballaro which is located in the historic city of Palermo. Urban regeneration is essential for transforming urban neighborhoods which are at risk of decline and blight. However, the lack of a social aspect such as social inclusion through active citizenship was identified to affect the sustainability of urban regene…

Il saggio esamina le nuove tendenze della legislazione in materia di rigenerazione urbanistica, con particolare attenzione alla vicenda urbanistica del Comune di Palermo.
Infrastructure as Interface: Thinking the Urban and the High-speed Railway Station: Italian Case-studies
2013
The recent launching in Italy of a number of large scale urban operations centered around High Speed Railway (HSR) stations has added a wealth of examples and themes to the overall European picture; these go to make up a global point of reference for other countries that are, in this period, undertaking the construction of their own HSR networks. Above and beyond the territorial questions often linked to the issue, further research investigating the architectural aspect of these operations would be highly relevant, but is rather lacking. Instead, we shall be focusing on current HSR stations in Italy, such as Turin Porta Susa, Florence Belfiore and Rome Tiburtina, and comparing them briefly,…
Re-think, Re-load, Re-cycle: Mediterranean Urban Metamorphosis
2013
Metamorphosis is the new and powerful keyword in time of crisis. We are not undergoing a mere -even though dramaticpassing situation, but we are living in a crisis which requires a metamorphosis of the ecological, cultural, economic, social and political systems to get out of it other than we were when entering it. The metamorphosis will have to be mainly urban, because we are now in the Urban Age in which more than half the population live and work in cities, at levels exceeding 80% in Europe. The city, as the predominant form of inhabiting, is invested with the “responsibility” of producing innovative, more sustainable, intelligent and creative life styles, able of generating the innovati…
Re-imagine, Re-load, Re-cycle: New Urbanism for the City of Future
2014
The failure of European development model based on financial protocols urges the need to "re-think capitalism" toward a greater spatial dimension and a different approach in the use/reuse/reduction of the capitals utilised in development processes. Especially in Mediterranean Europe we have to restart from urban capitals (space, identity, quality, service and production) using them as renewed engines of sustainable growth (RE-IMAGINE). In the global change scenario, the shrinking city produces several urban "fragments", functional "chips" and "scraps" of development that, through a recycling process/project, can be brought back into urban infrastructures for new cycles of life (RE-CYCLE). T…
Re-cycle: molecolare/sistemico
2014
Il modello di sviluppo dopato entro cui abbiamo vissuto consolati dalle sue aporie ha prodotto una costante erosione di risorse urbane, di cui quella del suolo è solo una sineddoche, sebbene la più evidente. Abbiamo consumato soprattutto le strutture identitarie dei palinsesti culturali e le trame vegetali delle città, abbiamo anestetizzato metabolismi vitali e interrotto i cicli delle acque, dei rifiuti e della mobilità rendendoli inefficaci. Abbiamo eroso la capacità dell'urbano di intrattenere una relazione osmotica con il rurale, abbiamo sedato la capacità produttiva e generativa delle manifatture, così come abbiamo dimenticato il valore rigenerativo della manutenzione edilizia. La cris…
Re-cyclical Urbanism. Visions, Paradigms and Projects for the Circular Metamorphosis
2017
The European Commission has clearly stated that more intelligent, sustainable and competitive development requires a paradigm shift in which the territory is construed as a primary resource, considered the holder of “development cells”, which are too often underused or mystified with regard to their real potential for use (EC, Directorate-General for Research and Innovation, 2012). Cities designed and built on land rent — on which Italy set a benchmark — need to be replaced with cities of social and cultural profitability, value creation and jobs production. Cities that recycle already-used land to avoid energy waste, smarter cities — not just technologically, but also wiser and more sentie…
COLLAGE CITY. RIGENERAZIONE URBANA PER LA CITTA' DI TARANTO
2023
The paper returns, in a critical key, the results of the design experimentation developed by the Politecnico di Milano working group that has tackled the theme of the architectural and urban regeneration of the areas of Tamburi, Salinella and Paolo VI in Taranto, a broader reflection on the techniques, strategies and methodologies applied according to the new objectives defined by the United Nations Urban Agenda for the development of urban policies on the theme of social inclusion, economic and environmental sustainability. The three areas represent singular case studies peculiar to the design culture in our country of public housing and their settlement models and mark the different histo…
No more Masterplan: the Cityforming Protocol
2018
In Europe, the season of urban regeneration has produced important effects both in the review of the urban devices and in the rethinking of the settlement forms and their spatial and human relations. But it cannot be denied that certain diseases emerged which often have anaesthetised – if not cancelled – the regenerative effects envisaged. The urban transition, while it has increased the use of regeneration processes from the bottom, has at the same time extended the epidemic of failures derived from a top-down approach. The critical issues of hierarchical urban regeneration cannot be solved by revising the procedures for participation, improving design devices, or innovating implementation…
AGRIGENTO SMART - Integration and sustainability in the regeneration of an urban public space. A case study.
2017
Agrigento, city of the Valley of the Temples, for a few decades it is only known for the "unauthorised development" (or sacco edilizio between the '50s and' 70s of the twentieth century). Today is trying to regain possession of those urban spaces subtracted from a foolish speculation, assigning to them a renewed urban and social connotation, beauty and utility, trying to heal some of the major wounds of the past. With the awareness that it is not a path easy, nor immediate. The issue of public space, and its renewed use today, assumes a crucial role in the process of urban regeneration. Our focus, of multidisciplinary approach, is aimed at the southern edge of the old town called "Square Ra…
