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 amore 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 …
Palermo collaborativa
2021
La città di Palermo ha una vocazione multiculturale ed è luogo dell’integrazione e dell’accoglienza. Questa sua caratteristica è confermata dalla partecipazione attiva e propositiva alla redazione della “Carta di Palermo” del 2015 sui temi della mobilità umana internazionale da parte di numerose organizzazioni non governative e realtà associative, accanto alle istituzioni pubbliche. Palermo, come modello positivo di contaminazione culturale e di città collaborativa, lancia la proposta di andare oltre il permesso di soggiorno per approdare al concetto di “cittadinanza di residenza”, riconoscendo il diritto alla mobilità come diritto della persona umana. La migrazione non deve essere consider…
Planning Augmented Cities in the Neoanthropocene
2020
To improve the effects of the connecting “augmented urbanism”, I have set up ten keywords able to reset spatial planning for the Augmented City in the face of the 21st century challenges. The Augmented City’s practices grow with exponential progression doubling its components, connections and impacts seen in the last years, to one incredible and disruptive acceleration. We are surrounded by thousands of practices in the spread of sensors and intelligent devices, in collaborative design and return of urban manufacturing, in explosion of creativity and increase of resilience, and several experiments in recycling of everything, fluidisation and networking of cities, and adoption of incremental…
Augmented Cities in Post-pandemic Age
2020
The effects of the Anthropocene are mainly urban, because the cities with their expansion have devoured the natural soil, the identity structures of the cultural palimpsests and the vegetable plots of the cities, invading delicate natural ecosystems, awakening and expanding diseases previously confined and separated in the wild environments. How to get out of the planetary environmental crisis, which is above all an urban habitats’ crisis? The answer, therefore, can only be urban, acting on a rethinking of cities as places of living in balance with other living species, in homeostasis with the planet. Especially in Europe, we must update the idea of cities as privileged places of public hea…
Dieci gesti-barriera per le città aumentate del Neoantropocene
2022
Le città non sono solo luoghi dell'abitare. Esse sono anche potenti dispositivi creativi per attivare il diverso presente ed esplorare il futuro possibile se consentono una vita di comunità che costruisca relazioni feconde, generi sinapsi fertili, produca nuove economie e acceleri l'innovazione. Il contributo fornisce strumenti e metodi utili alla definizione della città aumentata come fattore abilitante del cambiamento verso il Neoantropocene.
Postpandemic Urban Habitat in the Age of Contamination
2020
The challenge for post-pandemic urban habitats will be to recover their natural polycentrism, the diversity of their neighborhoods which, ceasing to be fragile suburbs, return to being places of lives and not just of homes, bridging the educational, working, cultural, digital divides, acquiring micro-places of public health and self-sufficient energy communities. I imagine cities of a renewed urban proxemic made up of "augmented urban communities" (according to the principles I described earlier) that reduce their frantic centripetal mobility and that facilitate a more measured mobility guaranteeing the answer to many needs within 15 minutes from home (the “15-minute city”, as already launc…
