Quinientos planos de alineación de la ciudad de Valencia (1860-1909)
2018
Los llamados planos de alineación recogen las modificaciones realizadas en el callejero histórico de una ciudad con la finalidad de regularizarlo. En España comenzaron a levantarse, en ciudades como Barcelona y Valencia, a mediados del siglo XVIII y se generalizaron en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. Sus autores fueron los arquitectos municipales y los técnicos que trabajaron bajo sus órdenes en los negociados de policía urbana y las secciones de obras públicas de los mayores ayuntamientos. Herramientas de gran utilidad en la gestión urbana, estos planos iban unidos a expedientes administrativos en los que se resolvían las solicitudes particulares de licencias de obra y se obligaba a los de…
Outer suburbs, car dependence and residential choice in France, In: Planning After Petroleum: Preparing Cities for the Age Beyond Oil
2016
In a discussion of the findings of extensive research of everyday household practices, this chapter suggests effective policy responses to increasingly more expensive petrol prices. Our research involved interviews, observations and analyses of low-income households adapting their mobility practices and residential locations within highly car-dependent urban environments. The chapter examines two main types of practices of households in car-dependent outer suburbs: either households opt 'to stay', forgoing sustained mobility and a varied range of activities, or they choose 'to go' and relocate in areas where travel costs are less of a burden on their budgets. Our research analyzed statistic…
De barrio-problema a barrio de moda: gentrificación comercial en Russa-fa, El “Soho” valenciano
2015
Russafa neighborhood in Valencia (Spain) has become the center of one of the most ambitious urban redevelopment plans implemented by the local council in recent years. This old neighborhood of merchants and artisans, that during the 80's and 90’s experienced a long period of degradation and neglect, is today the multicultural trendy district for tourists and citizens The aim of this paper is to show the gentrification process emerged in this neighborhood, and how from the abandonment that characterized it just a decade ago, it has undergone a fast process of festivalization and economic transformation with the arrival of the “creative classes”, that so far has caused few reactions, despite …
The Study of the Scale through Space. Teaching Innovation Experience among Architecture Schools: Malaga, Seville and Palermo
2018
The educational innovation project object of this communication focuses on the scale problems that arise in the projects of territorial planning carried out in architecture schools, but also in the loss of the scale concept related to thought and drawing. The project involved collaboration among the Schools of Architecture of Malaga, Palermo and Seville with the aim of carrying out a practical exercise among the students of two subjects that, working on different scales, addressed similar concepts. In particular, following an PBL methodology based on collaborative projects, the planning of the N-340 road in the city of Nerja (Málaga) was carried out. Firstly, the territorial scale is addres…
The Artificial Society Analytics Platform
2020
Author's accepted manuscript Social simulation routinely involves the construction of artificial societies and agents within such societies. Currently there is insufficient discussion of best practices regarding the construction process. This chapter introduces the artificial society analytics platform (ASAP) as a way to spark discussion of best practices. ASAP is designed to be an extensible architecture capable of functioning as the core of many different types of inquiries into social dynamics. Here we describe ASAP, focusing on design decisions in several key areas, thereby exposing our assumptions and reasoning to critical scrutiny, hoping for discussion that can advance debate over be…
Smart Planning and Intelligent Cities: A New Cambrian Explosion
2014
We live in the society of knowledge, creativity and innovation: true anti-cyclical factors with respect to the crisis that has overrun the traditional development protocols and that requires powerful processes of creation and spread of knowledge. The true innovation has no boundaries, it has to affect each aspect of institutions and enterprises and operates as a mutagen of society, requiring a paradigm shift. Startups, fablabs, co-workers, makers and smart citizens have given rise to a global urban movement and most cities now have a sizeable colony: a true smart ecosystem for improving social innovation. Between them they are home to hundreds of accelerators and thousands of smart places a…
Augmented Cities in the Neoanthropocene
2021
Contemporary cities could be considered vibrant organisms of places and communities, of data and information, of sensors and actuators, and of actions and reactions generated by people and environment both. Cities must be more responsive to our behavioral changes, enabling devices for enhancing our contemporary life. We would be able to build a more efficient urban environment, able to sense, to understand and to act every day and for everyone. In the post-city age and beyond the smart city, Augmented City is a new paradigm that perceives the demands of more networked, knowledge-based, and creative society that answers to the global change by a new circular metabolism. The Augmented City is…
Antonino Sancho Arango, un arquitecto en el tránsito hacia la Valencia contemporánea
2016
The process of modernization that Valencia and its territory underwent during the central decades of the 19th century is intrinsically linked to the trajectory of Antonino Sancho Arango’s career. He is considered an important figure in Valencian urban planning of this century, but his works in the field of architecture are almost unknown. This article aims to complete the study of the Antonino Sancho’s work and to establish a biography that values his role in the changes experimented by Valencia, but also Sancho’s dedication to public projects. La modernización que experimentaron Valencia y su territorio durante las décadas centrales del siglo XIX es indisociable de la trayectoria profesion…
