Human Mobility Simulator for Smart Applications
2019
Several issues related to Smart City development require the knowledge of accurate human mobility models, such as in the case of urban development planning or evacuation strategy definition. Nevertheless, the exploitation of real data about users' mobility results in severe threats to their privacy, since it allows to infer highly sensitive information. On the contrary, the adoption of simulation tools to handle mobility models allows to neglect privacy during the design of location-based services. In this work, we propose a simulation tool capable of generating synthetic datasets of human mobility traces; then, we exploit them to evaluate the effectiveness of algorithms which aim to detect…
La speciale disciplina urbanistica ed edilizia delle opere pubbliche
2023
Public works constitute one of the main objects of ordinary urban planning and building regulations. However, since the 1970s, laws have been gradually introduced with the effect of derogating either from the provisions of the general land use plan or from the general discipline on authorization procedures to build. The decree-laws n. 77/2021 and n. 36/2022 have continued this trend with reference to projects necessary to achieve the strategic objectives of the European Union for the country's ecological and energy transition included in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) and the Integrated National Plan for Energy and Climate (PNIEC). This paper explains the causes of this su…

«Una vera e non museografica conversazione di monumenti e di ambienti»: Guido Di Stefano e l’«azione urbanistica» nella Palermo del secondo dopoguerra
2019
L' articolo indaga gli scritti, le attività didattiche e le reti culturali dell'arte e dell'architettura siciliana storico Guido Di Stefano (1906-62). Concentrandosi sui suoi viaggi in Germania e sui suoi contatti con colleghi austriaci (Dagobert Frey), tedeschi (Wolfgang Krönig) ed eminenti colleghi italiani (Carlo Ludovico Ragghianti), l'autore legge la battaglia solitaria di Di Stefano contro la speculazione e il vandalismo nel settore immobiliare a Palermo, nonché il suo coinvolgimento nel stesura del piano urbano dopo la seconda guerra mondiale come aspetti specifici di un'idea di civiltà e impegno politico le cui radici possono essere identificate nell'influente pensiero filosofico di…
Quali regole per la sharing mobility in Europa. Un’introduzione
2020
All over Europe urban mobility services are subject to specialized regulatory regimes. In the last decade, new technologies have upended the sector, making possible new ways of organizing the industry. Platforms like Uber and Lyft have been among the first to seize these possibilities. However, they have often done so without regard for national and local laws. In response to these changes many EU jurisdictions have amended their sectoral regulations, revisiting issues such as licensing, background checks and insurance. The result has been a vast landscape of legal, commercial, and political conflict where local administrators, private operators and citizens are obliged to act within a norm…
Shopping malls and neoliberal trends in Southern European cities: post-metropolitan challenges for urban planning policy
2016
Whilst shopping malls have been explored at length by critical urban studies, there has been little exploration of their role in restructuring the practice of urban and spatial planning. This article uses the shopping mall as an object of study in the light of the neoliberal trends and post-metropolisation in Southern Europe, with the aim of exploring challenges for urban governance and planning practice and with a focus on the role of the ongoing economic crisis. A threefold exploratory framework – the ‘lost-in-time scenario’, the ‘messianic mall model’ and the ‘(im)mature planning explanation’ – is used to make sense of the local versions of shopping mall development in Lisbon (Portugal) …
Un piano di espansione per Palermo nel secondo Cinquecento: Guglielmo Fornaya e la fondazione del borgo di Santa Lucia.
2014
Il saggio indaga una "speciale" lottizzazione fra le numerose attuate nella capitale siciliana nel corso del XVI secolo: la sua specificità consiste, infatti, nell'essere stata l'unica condotta in un'area esterna alla cinta muraria. Attuata apparentemente contro ogni ragione di difesa della città, l'iniziativa si intreccia piuttosto con più questioni legate alla realizzazione del Molo Nuovo, la principale infrastruttura portuale del Mediterraneo realizzata in prima età moderna, e con le controverse proposte di espansione urbana formulate dalla Corona che, se realizzate, avrebbe condotto al raddoppio della superficie intramuraria di Palermo, con la costruzione di una nuova "Napoli" siciliana…
Systemic approach of the links between urban dynamics, life environment and insecurity : situational prevention as a tool and stake of urban sustaina…
2008
International audience; Managing and controlling city whilst guaranteeing the social cohesion and the life quality is an objective of the urban sustainable development. Thus, the life environments and urban atmospheres that include a security dimension imply a geographical and town-planning thinking. These research activities concern the importance the city-dweller attributes to the security issues. Insecurity can sometimes explain some places repellentness and consequently the daily and residential mobilities. These displacements impact on the places economic and social functioning. Urban insecurity produces negative externalities that can be quantified. Aware of the differential attractiv…
Una ricerca inglese descrive il contesto europeo
2016
Il lavoro intende offrire una chiara esposizione dell’attuale dibattito disciplinare sulla scorta della ricca casistica rilevata dall’istituto inglese "The London School of Economics and Political Science" (LSE), al fine di tracciare le direttrici per il suo successivo arricchimento. Dei casi studio esposti dalla LSE, l'autore ha tratto proprie considerazioni conclusive, con l'intento di ridurre ad unità di sintesi il quadro europeo circa il variegato uso del concetto di "Social Housing", l'individuazione di politiche sociali e di pianificazione volte alla sua implementazione e dell'attuazione e progettazione derivanti.
“Mega-Sports Events, Gentrification and Social Mobilization in Rio de Janeiro” - Experiences from Metrô Mangueira
2017
Master's thesis Development management UT503 - University of Agder 2017 In order to promote gentrification of the city of Rio de Janeiro, the Brazilian government and the municipality of Rio de Janeiro have actively used Mega-Sports Events (MSE) in urban planning. Examples are tax cuts and the legalization of various measures for large-scale urban programs, to prepare the city for hosting these prestigious events. Whilst trying to fulfil the obligations from MSEs, the host city denies its citizens access to democratic participation and thereby their right to the city. The promises made to the international sportive federations regarding upgraded infrastructure, sportive arenas, media covera…
