The beautiful Yvonne of Louisiana. La bella Yvonne della Louisiana
2019
To understand New Orleans, it is necessary to look at her geographically: wedged on the majestic delta of the powerful Mississippi. Like any other city sitting on river deltas, her relationship with water is not linear (longitudinal as in coastal cities, transversal as in fluvial cities); rather it is complex and deep. Water appears where you least expect it, sweet and salty at the same time like her food, precious and painful like her story, with a beginning and end like her parades.
Toward Livable City Centers. Hebron as a Case Study
2012
City centers of Palestinian cities face many urban planning problems; the downtown city is mostly crowded especially in the last few years, because of the increasing population of the cities and the daily migration of the residents from the nearby villages. Everyone can touch the traffic jam problem, the bad quality of urban spaces, the lack of gardens and open spaces in the city center. All this affects negatively the citizens of the city, feeling uncomfortable in the city center. Thus, this study comes to light to draw guidelines to create a comfortable and livable urban environment for people in the city center and to develop the city center to a more environmental, functional, beautiful…
Edilizia abusiva a Favara. Analisi dell’insediamento e sviluppo del territorio
2007
Il Piano Regolatore Generale, strumento di fondamentale importanza per lo sviluppo di un centro urbano e del suo territorio, è ancora per diverse città siciliane un obiettivo da raggiungere. I dati provenienti dall'Assessorato Regionale al Territorio e Ambiente (A.R.T.A.) indicano una Sicilia decisamente indietro nella progettazione urbanistica. Nell'isola soltanto il 40,3% dei comuni hanno un piano regolatore vigente. La mancata approvazione degli strumenti urbanistici ha influito negativamente sui processi di urbanizzazione, spesso frammentari e disorganici. Le città si sono sviluppate senza una forma, un modello riconoscibile, alimentando nei cittadini una politica che ha preferito l’edi…
This could be Rotterdam or anywhere
2016
This could be Rotterdam … on your first date with Hollandse nieuwe, the herrings caught in the North Sea during the months of May and June, cured-in-brine and then served simply with grounded white onion, to eat upside of taking them by the tail as taught by the historical poster. The biggest port of Europe dedicates its finest culinary contribution to celebrate its ancestral relationship with the Sea.
Collaborative Governance in Portugal – Yes or No? A critical approach based on an empirical survey
2019
Collaborative governance can be defined as a concerted type of decision-making and collective action in which government bodies and private sector stakeholders interact as equal partners with the aim of achieving outcomes of interest for both parties. In practical terms, this is a type of governance where special meetings and negotiations are held – typically in somewhat elitist and secretive settings – with the aim of defining shared responsibilities and benefits associated with joint public-private ventures. Academic authors in favour of the adoption of collaborative governance in Portugal tend to present a rather positive view on the merits of this approach. They argue that it is potenti…
Patsy Healey and Collaborative Planning (2005): Re-thinking Democracy in the ‘Reasoning in Public’ Arena
2022
The interpretation of the notion of citizenship has led some authors to the conclusion of the necessity of overcoming a ‘restricted conception’ of citizenship, in order to gain a more inclusive recognition of a cosmopolitan, rather than a mere universal, recognition of rights. So, three core issues are tightly intertwined in this paper: the controversial issue of citizenship in its multiple facets: the formal that is institutional, the substantial and the denied one; the role of planning and its ethical implications; and the very idea of democracy in its dichotomy: institutional versus substantial. Patsy Healey’s work offers us a wide set of normative perspectives and intellectual stimuli, …
The Colour Plan of Egadi Islands
2018
The Egadi Islands, at the western end of Sicily, preserve a peculiar architectural and environmental heritage. The work of people – related to tuna fishing, stone extraction and agriculture – has created, over time, an exceptional landscape. The nature, colour and texture of the local stone have given shape to a traditional architecture that, today, risks to disappear and to be replaced by new anonymous buildings. Furthermore, the pressure of tourism threatens to damage this delicate balance established, over centuries, between people and environment. Therefore, the Local Administration decided to adopt a Colour Plan to manage the inevitable processes of territorial transformations. The Arc…
Architectural Representation: a Tool for Urban Regeneration : the Colour Plan of Egadi Islands

Il gesto comparativo negli studi urbani critici
2021
Non tutte le città sono uguali tra loro, ma i processi che si verificano al loro interno sono assimilabili e analizzabili grazie a modelli più o meno universali. O almeno, per molti anni così si è sostenuto: più anni di quanti forse pensiamo, se consideriamo che ancor oggi diversi studiosi di fatti urbani sostengono posizioni universalistiche. Il confronto tra due testi, un classico di Ernest W. Burgess e una lettura più recente e alternativa di Jennifer Robinson, ha come scopo la messa in discussione di questo tema all’interno degli studi urbani critici. Not all cities are the same, but the processes that occur within them can be assimilated and analyzed thanks to more or less universal mo…
The Integration and Sharing of Resources for a New Quality of Living
2014
In questo capitolo, il tema della condivisione è trattato anche dal punto di vista giuridico attraverso una discussione caratterizzante il dibattito rilevante. Sono quindi approfondite le questioni inerenti le funzioni e la forma urbana. L’IT infatti può interagire con problemi operativi della città e con l’uso delle risorse ambientali (energia, suolo, acqua…), parametro indicativo su cui devono essere sviluppate le trasformazioni urbane. Come condividere gli spazi e le funzioni urbane costituisce la nuova frontiera nel campo dell’innovazione urbana. In this chapter, the issues of sharing of information and of information technologies use are dealt with from the juridical point of view, thr…
