Deconstruction and hermeneutical space as keys to understanding the rural
2020
The purpose of this article is to complement the existing literature on defining the rural by suggesting a novel approach that makes possible a holistic understanding of the rural. The proposed approach is based on deconstruction of the concept of the rural and on hermeneutical philosophy. The current approaches applied in rural studies are evaluated through the lens of holistic understanding, and solutions to the observed problems are discussed. The problems of current rural studies stem from inadequate conceptualization and biased social theory. The conceptual problems can be alleviated, firstly, by understanding the concept of space not only literally but also figuratively. Secondly, the…
Social Media as Platform for Stimulating Urban Changes
2016
Images have always been an important part of city planning – current images of place, images with planned improvements, maps and sketches. Some time ago all that was a private property of stakeholders like planner and client. But nowadays this confidentiality rather much has vanished – no copyrights or competition is noteworthy. Plans do not have their privacy anymore. They are exposed even before they got implemented. This article will display why city planners share the images of their ideas, of their dreams in public (mostly in blogs and social networks) – why it is important for them and what kind of feedback they are waiting for. This article is based on case study where 12 respondents…
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…
Dall’iper–densificazione all’abbandono: la negazione della qualità della vita nella città moderna
2021
A partire dall’Ottocento si assiste ad un fenomeno che porta le città europee ad ingrandirsi ed espandersi. Non si tratta solo di un’estensione territoriale, ma anche di un incremento della densificazione dovuto agli ingenti spostamenti di popolazione dalle campagne ai centri urbani. Il fenomeno della densificazione non deve essere inteso solo come rapporto tra la superficie e il numero degli abitanti, ma anche come complessità delle relazioni sociali ed è un processo che dalle città si estende alla dimensione planetaria a causa delle tecnologie che hanno trasformato il mondo in un villaggio globale. Dopo aver messo a fuoco le componenti storiche, economiche politiche e sociali che determin…
Una piazza per il Belìce. Strategie per il Territorio Arcipelago
2019
Le grandi città globali non sono più gli unici contesti per la competizione territoriale: l’Italia è un importante esempio di un nuovo sistema di piccole e medie città, una sorta di arcipelago di spazi tenuti insieme da identità locali, animato dalle comunità, ma frenati da geografie impervie. L’articolo definisce come un territorio può applicare protocolli e azioni innovativi per la sfida dell’Italia interna. Questa “Inner Italy” può essere una piattaforma per l’innovazione locale, lo sviluppo sostenibile, la resilienza ecologica e sociale e la coesione territoriale, come mostrato nella letteratura internazionale, in riferimento sia al Territorio-Arcipelago (Carta, 2016), sia ai contesti u…

Aree verdi storiche e alberi monumentali: stimolo per un'efficace pianificazione delle infrastrutture verdi
2020
This study is based on the assumption that existing urban green areas can play a significant role in giving a boost to the effective development of linear infrastructures when conceived as green-blue corridors, capable to significantly affect in the production of the ecosystem services within the urban environment. The first phase of analysis, necessary to frame the case study, identified in the city of Palermo (Italy), the research focused on the ecological and social aspects of urban green, investigating its current values and potentials. The existing private and public parks and gardens have been combined with major areas of ecological relevance, whereas the monumental trees connect gree…
“Ephemeral” regeneration for the marginal urban spaces/places in Enna
2020
The aim of this paper it to demonstrate that the interventions of “ephemeral designing” - seen in the key of potential activators of shared forms of bottom-up urban regeneration - may be also read as sequence of pop-up actions (flames); but capable in conferring to the marginal urban spaces - even if temporarily - a “meta-real” shape of the desirable effects of that urban transformation they would to reach in a real implementation. By establishing, thereby, with both the city's communities and places, a true moment of local awareness and animation, fleeting but realistic, that can trigger interest and re-generate the sleeping collective activism, even before to regenerate the physical compo…
Tradycje urbanizacyjne na obszarze Afryki Subsaharyjskiej
2018
W artykule skoncentrowano się na tradycjach budowy i przestrzennej formie miast w Afryce Subsaharyjskiej w okresie przedkolonialnym oraz na przeobrażeniach miast afrykańskich, które dokonały się w czasach kolonialnych. Przypomniano najstarsze, rozwijające się przed naszą erą cywilizacje miejskie Afryki, jak Aksum i Meroe, a następnie sięgające czasów średniowiecza Wielkie Zimbabwe na południu Afryki oraz Timbuktu i Djenne w Afryce Zachodniej. Omówiono różne układy przestrzenne występujące w miastach na południe od Sahary. W okresie kolonialnym planowanie urbanistyczne podporządkowane było zasadzie segregacji przestrzennej różnych w sensie etnicznym i kulturowym grup ludności. Zwrócono uwagę…
