Conceptualisation et évaluation d'une typologie de lotissement vertical pour un aménagement urbain durable

2020

The current urban development process is the result of a paradoxical situation. On the one end, families prefer individual housing, which finds the favourable conditions to its spreading in the more or less distant from towns outskirts, while wishing to benefit from services (proximity to amenities, public transport offers, etc…) which are rather the corelate of dense urban centralization. On the other hand, in order to fight against environmental, social and economic costs of urban sprawl, and also aim towards a more sustainable city, the urban renovation and compact city projects lead to some density levels that only collective housing enables to reach. So, the equation - control of the u…

Oxygen-containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (OPAHs) in urban soils of Bratislava, Slovakia: patterns, relation to PAHs and vertical distributi…

2011

Abstract We determined concentrations, sources, and vertical distribution of OPAHs and PAHs in soils of Bratislava. The ∑14 OPAHs concentrations in surface soil horizons ranged 88–2692 ng g−1 and those of ∑34 PAHs 842–244,870 ng g−1. The concentrations of the ∑9 carbonyl-OPAHs (r = 0.92, p = 0.0001) and the ∑5 hydroxyl-OPAHs (r = 0.73, p = 0.01) correlated significantly with ∑34 PAHs concentrations indicating the close association of OPAHs with parent-PAHs. OPAHs were quantitatively dominated by 9-fluorenone, 9,10-anthraquinone, 1-indanone and benzo[a]anthracene-7,12-dione. At several sites, individual carbonyl-OPAHs had higher concentrations than parent PAHs. The concentration ratios of se…

I modelli urbani della ricostruzione post-sismica degli anni ‘60 a confronto con la contrazione demografica dei territori interni della Sicilia. Caso…

2021

Il contributo prende in esame gli esiti prodotti a lunga distanza dai modelli urbanistici adottati in Italia nel secondo dopoguerra, caratterizzati da dinamiche espansive e dotazioni di servizi pubblici dimensionati in base agli standard. Gli effetti della contrazione demografia su tali modelli insediativi, che dispiegano oggi una serie di problematiche che conducono alla necessità di una riorganizzazione spaziale, vengono osservati su un campione particolarmente significativo al riguardo rappresentato dalle città ricostruite ex-novo nel secondo Novecento a seguito di movimenti tellurici. Il caso in esame riguarda il terremoto della Valle del Belice del 1968 e descrive come le nuove città, …

The Fluid City Experience: An Update

2016

This chapter describes the actual status of thirteen European cities that become fluid cities through their strategies for urban regeneration. These cities are divided into three groups: the large port-cities, the medium rank “city-port” cities, the riverfront cities. For every city, we define the status of urban environment and population, the trend for port and airport traffic and the strategies for urban regeneration.

The Fluid City Paradigm : Waterfront Regeneration as an Urban Renewal Strategy

2016

This book presents a new paradigm of knowledge and action with respect to urban waterfronts and the “fluid city paradigm,” explaining its methodological framework and describing an integrated and creative planning approach in which waterfront regeneration is pursued as a key urban-renewal strategy. It focuses especially on the WATERFRONT project (“Water And Territorial policiEs for integRation oF multisectoRial develOpmeNT”), which was funded jointly by Italy and Malta with the goal of developing common guidelines, strategies, and operational tools for the planning of coastal areas, based on cross-border exchange of experiences. In the described approach, the waterfront is recognized as hav…

Mappare la qualità della vita a Palermo: gli stili di vita di un centro storico che cambia

2020

Il centro storico di Palermo sta attraversando, negli ultimi anni, cambiamenti significativi tanto dal punto di vista fisico quanto per la sua composizione sociale. L’ormai pluridecennale processo di gentrification, iniziato alla fine degli anni ’90, si è intersecato negli ultimi anni con un incremento delle presenze turistiche, dovute anche a grandi eventi (Capitale Italiana della Cultura, Manifesta), e con la forte presenza di cittadini stranieri residenti. Questo contesto così eterogeneo e complesso induce a riflettere sulla questione delle politiche di inclusione, che emerge ogniqualvolta si prendono in considerazione i grandi cambiamenti di composizione sociale e le conseguenti dinamic…

Common Stocks. Urban peripheries, social innovation and urban regeneration

2020

The peripheries have been considered over the years as a crucial policy challenge that has oriented policies and strategies at different levels of government. On the other hand, measures that stimulate local contexts to develop specific policies have assumed an extremely episodic and unpredictable character in which the public debate on urban regeneration has remained largely dominated by that of extraordinary and emergency intervention on the peripheries. The paper analyses the case study of transformation of the Cantieri Culturali alla Zisa in Palermo with the new Cre.Zi Plus platform transforming a neglected and abandoned building in a peripheral area by delivering services to the commun…

Norme dal patrimonio culturale per la trasformazione e lo sviluppo sostenibile. Sperimentazione applicata al Piano del Colore delle Isole Egadi

2020

L’arcipelago delle isole Egadi, all'estremità occidentale della Sicilia, custodisce un patrimonio architettonico, paesaggistico e ambientale di grande valore. Dal difficoltoso rapporto tra la popolazione insediata e un ambiente per molti versi ostile, è stato forgiato nei secoli un paesaggio eccezionale, frutto di condizioni estreme di sopravvivenza condizionate dalle esigue risorse locali come la pesca del tonno, l'estrazione della pietra da costruzione e l'agricoltura. L’intero arcipelago è oggi soggetto a vincolo paesaggistico per l’alto valore dei suoi elementi costituenti che si configurano, nella loro interezza, come beni culturali. La texture e le cromie della pietra locale, una calc…

Città e organismi territoriali. Verso un approccio olistico alle crisi dell’Antropocene

2021

From the second half of the nineteenth century, urban planning was understood, according to a top-down approach managed by government systems, as a cure for the city affected by the disease, injustice, and violence. This approach, aimed at regulating the behaviour of producers in cities and territories, aims at favouring the strongest economic and social actors to the detriment of the weakest social tissues. Today, the various factors of economic and social crisis, which act on a global scale, have made the picture of inequalities even more complicated and uncertain than in the past. Consequently, the technocratic responses provided by central governments are no longer enough and indeed som…
