In order to design the renewal for urban fluidity, the Atlas for Mediterranean Waterfronts is not only an instrument for knowledge, but it is the tool in which we can analyse the contemporary relation between nature and culture. The chapter explains the duality-based atlas that mirrors the condition in city-port urban management and it defines the structure of the Atlas that is founded on urban clusters identities as research field.
Ecological assessment of developing carbon sequestration in Shenyang, China
2012
Carbon sequestration in urban ecosystems is becoming an international climate change initiative for sustainable development. Drawing upon field work undertaken in the author's native Shenyang, China, this research reports upon the natural process of carbon sequestration from the atmosphere into urban ecosystems. The risks associated within carbon sequestration in urban ecosystems are investigated and utilised the analysis of ecological carbon cycle status and integrated climate policy with reference to the sustainable development of urban planning. The primary method of this paper is the ecologically–based life assessment of urban ecosystems relevant to tackling barriers for developing carb…

A Territorial Approach to the Production of Urban and Rural Landscape.
2018
The authors, starting from the examination of the historic data of Palermo landscapes on the south-east side, draws up an analysis of the landscape by illustrating the environmental characteristics and the intervention of man in its transformations. Therefore, determined by a certain point to refer to, the author, on the basis of archival, literary, and existing graphic documentation, has therefore sought to illustrate the evolution of the landscape in the geographical area of Maredolce while still presenting relations with the territory of Palermo. Examining the diaries at the end of the eighteenth century with the help of the water colored planks of the sites taking into account the great…
Policies of Resilience in the New Institutional Process. The Case-Studies of Palermo and Siracusa in the South of Italy
2015
At the end of 2012, the PON METRO National Scheme was set up in Italy, inspired by the EU Urban Agenda. It also allows towns like Palermo to test and reach targets of urban resilience, focusing on mobility and sustainable energy in order to improve life in the cities together with innovative policies of social inclusion. Other medium-sized cities also tried to face the problem of urban resilience without using national funds. The city of Siracusa, for example, made use of EU direct co-financing schemes. This paper aims to analyse the planning projects and measures adopted in Sicily over the past few years in order to examine government approaches focusing on resilience or those that are som…
Indeksi liikuntaympäristöjen monipuolisuudesta asukkaiden lähialueella
2023
Liikunta on välttämätöntä terveyden ylläpitämiselle, ja sillä on lukemattomia positiivisia vaikutuksia sekä fyysiseen että psyykkiseen hyvinvointiin. Liikuntaympäristöjen monipuolisuus lähellä kotia voi edistää liikunnan harrastamista ja fyysisesti aktiivista elämäntapaa. Liikunnallisen elämäntavan mahdollistaminen kaikille, etenkin huono-osaisilla alueilla, voi tasoittaa alueiden välisiä hyvinvointieroja ja näin vähentää segregaation vaikutuksia. Suomessa yhdenvertaisten liikuntapalvelujen järjestäminen asukkaille on pääosin kuntien vastuulla. Tässä artikkelissa esittelemme uuden indeksin, jolla voidaan kuvata ja analysoida asukkaiden lähialueella olevien erityyppisten liikuntaympäristöjen…
The renaissance of tramways and urban redevelopment in France
2017
Abstract Tramways have made a remarkable comeback in France since the 1980s. An organization of public transport based on the decentralized administration system set up in the early 1980s has allowed local urban authorities to make their own choices to develop public transport networks in the context of automobile domination. As in many other countries, worries about fossil fuel dependency and demands concerning sustainable urban development appear as strong elements in favour of urban light rail. However, in France, tramways are not just technical solutions for traffic congestion, they have also become a symbol of a cultural mutation in urban development planning. Coupled with a national p…
A Narrative of the AESOP Quality Recognition Programme in the Field of Planning Education
2017
The article proposes a reflection about the Coordination of planning curricula, quality assur ance and accreditation processes promoved by AESOP, on the principle of cooperation and mutual bene ts. On the occasion of several debates at the Heads of Schools meetings, it became clear that, in addition to the existing framework of the AESOP Core Curriculum, a further active implication was needed in order to enhance, improve and support planning curricula and programmes, especially in a time of crisis. Infact, coordination of planning courses and their quality recognition had (and still have) to be considered in a cooperative approach, rather than in a competitive one: an ap proach to be bas…
Comparing the morphology of urban patterns in Europe
2004
The sprawling urban patterns typical for the outskirts of many europen metropolitan areas seem to be amorphous and it is difficult to find references for describing them. However, for managing sprawl it seems important to have quantitative descriptors, which allow distinguishing different types of urban patterns and which are less ambiguous than traditional density measures. a better knowledge of these patterns should also point to the underlying context of urbanisation at their root. More concretely: to what extent are planned patterns different from less planned ones? Do planned or unplanned patterns show comparable morphological features?
Normatywne kształtowanie terenów zieleni w mieście podstawą budowania zrównoważonych miast
2021
Tereny zieleni w mieście są istotnym zagadnieniem w kształtowaniu struktury funkcjonalno-przestrzennej miasta, a także kształtowania jego rozwoju w sposób zrównoważony. W literaturze przedmiotu zwraca się uwagę na konieczność dążenia do równowagi między celami społecznymi, ekologicznymi i ekonomicznymi, które powinny być definiowane w polityce rozwoju jednostek terytorialnych różnych szczebli, w tym także miast. Istotne jest również zachowanie równości międzypokoleniowej m.in. poprzez zachowanie zasobów środowiska (Fiedor, 2002,s. 23). J. Słodczyk zwraca uwagę, że w realizacji koncepcji miasta zrównoważonego istotne są takie zagadnienia jak m.in. forma przestrzenna miasta, proekologiczne ro…
