Right to the Future
2017
During the last decade, the city of Palermo has been undergoing relevant transformations from various perspectives. This has been the consequences of a multitude of circumstances, European financial crisis, migrants/refugees crisis, a new administration of the city and an increased awareness and responsibility among the citizens. Various national and international recognitions (Italian Cultural Capital 2018, the European Biennial of Contemporary Art, Manifesta 12, Youth Capital 2017) have confirmed that they are on the right path. This positive moment has been launched and, progressively, rid- den by many young professionals that decided to challenge the present situation by investing their…

The study and the analysis of some fruitful experiences in Europe we find that the smart mobility is one of the central pillars for initiating processes and best practices sensitive to environmental issues and sustainable development. The city of Stockholm has called his plan sustainable precisely “The Walkable City” meaning that achieve a planning instrument that brings the city to be crossed easily by bicycle, on foot, but also with public transport efficient and low impact on the climate.

Per una ricapitalizzazione efficacenete co-creativa dei sistemi territoriali italiani
2014
La trasformazione creativa (innovazione) non dovrebbe essere immaginata se non come emergente dall’interazione interna (immanente) ai soggetti individuali o inter-individuali, piuttosto che da istanze separate e superiori (trascendenti). Il compito del planning dovrebbe quindi essere quello di rendere percepibili le potenzialità di cambiamento emergenti dall’interazione della molteplicità di detentori di quote di capitale urbano (stakeholder), che includono in pratica la totalità dei soggetti, e di fornire loro validi framework di orientamento e di scambio tra differenti, e spesso inconciliabili, sistemi di ‘valori’. Sono insomma richiesti approcci innovativi all’‘urbano’, per lo più contra…
Les coopérations de proximité dans l'Arc jurassien franco-suisse : Un enjeu de la cohésion sociale transfrontalière
2017
Un certain nombre de coopérations s’établissent plus ou moins spontanément de part et d’autre de la frontière franco-suisse dans l’Arc jurassien. En général de petite taille, visibles ou non aux échelles locales, elles présentent, selon nous, un grand intérêt dans le cadre de la mise en place d’un sentiment communautaire dans l’Arc jurassien. En effet, le devenir de cet espace transfrontalier doit s’ancrer dans le partage des valeurs des deux pays frontaliers afin d’endiguer les risques de repli identitaire. Dans sa stratégie de coopération transfrontalière 2016-2020, la Conférence Transjurassienne (CTJ) propose de promouvoir le sentiment d’une communauté de destin (CTJ, 2015), thématique é…
Social housing e interazione multietnica: un’ipotesi di progetto nel centro storico di Palermo
2015
Nelle città odierne il diritto alla casa è sempre più compromesso da molteplici fattori, primo fra tutti le conseguenze della crisi economica attuale, per cui si assiste ad una diminuzione drastica del livello di reddito delle famiglie. Vi sono anche altri fenomeni che ostacolano l’accesso al mercato immobiliare in specifiche aree urbane, come la gentrification o diverse dinamiche di trasformazione del contesto urbano, come si rileva nella città di Palermo. In contesti sociali sempre più multietnici e caratterizzati dalla presenza di varie categorie di users che risiedono in città per periodi brevi o in modo saltuario (lavoratori che si spostano da una città all’altra in cerca di occupazion…
Non profit per chi? Riflessioni sul ruolo del Terzo Settore nella costruzione di una nuova politica per la casa a Palermo
2018
Recent social housing programme reforms in Southern European Countries emphasise homeless involvement in the public discussion about planning and the delivery of housing. Experiences in a new social housing Italian programme and recent studies on the subject (Viglianisi, 2014; Laino and Vitale, 2015; Lo Piccolo and Giampino, 2016) reveal a number of obstacles for what concerns homeless participation in social housing programmes. This article critically assesses Arnstein’s ladder in relation to the institutionalization of homeless participation in the new social housing Italian programme "Multi-fund National Operational Programme Metropolitan Cities 2014-2020", on evidence from the case stud…
