The Territorial Dimension of Living Lab Approaches: Starting the European “Participant Observatory”
2011
Territory production can be intended as any process of spatial transformation deriving from a sustainable and reciprocal dialogue between local communities and their spatial context along history time; the territory is a dynamic but durable balance between human settlements and their environments. Territory intended in this way - maybe the major competitive factor of regions and their economic actors too - depends less on merely technological advances, rather than socio-technical innovations able to generate better life quality in cities and regions. This is why in the CIP project “Periphèria”, started in November 2010, a European Observatory of LLs and Smart Cities will be set up, conceive…

Participatory planning in Palermo for social innovation and technologic enhancement. A living Lab territorial game toward city plan
2012
The approach that is offered by Living Labs, particularly for their territorial perspective, can represent one of the ways in which to set the transition from the stage of a “free game”, about scenarios and visions, to the definition of the plan social demand, specifically within the framework of a real experience of the citizenship life. In this sense, such an approach may represent the guarantee of an effectiveness of the plan. Despite the limits, which the previous failures represent, we can remark that through the dimension of openness, roles co-presence and competence of those stakeholders that are involved in Living Labs, the participation processes – from the perspective of a plannin…
Risorse territoriali e sviluppo locale: potenzialità e limiti del modello distrettuale
2012
Il tema centrale di questo scritto è ragionare sui requisiti di territorialità che possono essere rintracciati nei sistemi ad economia diffusa, con particolare attenzione alle mutazioni intervenute con la transizione ad una fase “postindustriale” che molti sistemi economici maturi stanno affrontando da alcuni anni. Proprio l’avere assunto come riferimento la nozione di sistema locale ci mette a disposizione un apparato concettuale che, a nostro avviso, ben si presta a svelare alcuni degli equivoci terminologici (e, poi, anche operativi) comparsi di recente nella cultura dello sviluppo locale. Si proverà a affrontare la questione facendo ricorso al concetto di “esternalità”, un termine che h…
Territories. Rural-Urban strategies
2016
Territories is a design-based approach to the dynamics of larger spatial contexts with the double task of enfolding an actualised view of the habitat and of synthesising visions of its future perspectives. Opposed to traditional dystopic concepts of urban and rural, Territories engages with the potential of rural-urban interfaces in building visions of spatial futures, valorising creativity, implicit knowledge, and knowledge gained by design. Territories promotes an overall shift in public awareness and sectorial policies towards place-based strategies. Initiated by an international conference held in April 2016, in the framework of “Hochschuldialog Südeuropa” of DAAD, Territories displays …
A New Rur-Urban Utopia? Social innovation and the case of the Sicani area in Sicily
2016
Urbanization patterns based on urban bias propose rural areas as agriculture based areas that exchange goods with urban areas (poles) through corridors systems connecting poles and peripheries. Also in many spatial polices the exchange of goods between urban and rural areas are considered an essential element of rural-urban linkages, increasing flows of goods between rural and urban areas with high population density and where services and manufacture centres are located. The strategic questions that the conference "TERRITORIES. Rural-urban Strategies“ suggests ask to look at a new alliance between rural and urban spaces able to overcome any sectorial interaction (agriculture based in rural…

Recinti urbani. Roma e i luoghi dell’abitare
2014
Un libro dedicato ai territori che inaugura la omonima collana e che attraverso i testi degli Autori parla di Roma, di periferie vecchie e nuove, di storie di vita, di abitare, di passato, di presente. Ma si tratta di un passato generativo, non nostalgico e contemplativo, e di un presente dinamico e complesso, che apre al futuro. È questo l’aspetto più interessante del volume Recinti urbani, che non si propone di dare formule risolutive ma piuttosto porre sul tappeto interrogativi, per ripensare criticamente il territorio attraverso la narrazione, il quotidiano, l’espressione personale.
