¿Metrópolis dispersas?
2010
La cuestión de la dispersión urbana constituye hoy un tema de investigación alrededor del cual se ha ido concentrando el interés disciplinar y político-institucional. Tal interés encuentra su respuesta en datos estadísticos (EEA, 2006) que confirman que: el 75% de la población europea vive en áreas urbanas; más de un cuarto del territorio europeo resulta urbanizado, y según las estimaciones en 2020 aproximadamente cerca del 80% de los europeos vivirá en áreas urbanas. Es un campo de la investigación todavía abierto y sobre el cual este trabajo de tesis ha querido reflexionar, siendo consciente que en urbanismo el conocimiento es una acción cognitiva y, al mismo tiempo, proyectual. Por lo ta…
Latvijas lielo pilsētu attīstības politikas ilgtspējības vērtējums
2014
ANOTĀCIJA Attīstības plānošanas dokumenti, investīcijas, attīstības rādītāji un pārvaldības prakse tika novērtēta sešās Latvijas republikas pilsētās (Rīga, Daugavpils, Liepāja, Jūrmala, Ventspils un Rēzekne), lai noteiktu to atbilstību ilgtspējīgas attīstības kritērijiem – spēju veicināt ilgtspējīgu attīstību. Attīstības plānošanas dokumentu vides, ekonomikas un sociālās dimensijas ilgtspējības analīzei izstrādātās vērtēšanas metodikas pamatā ir plānošanas vadības cikls un Olborgas ilgtspējīgas attīstības kritēriji. Pilsētu attīstības politikas analīzē tika vērtēta attīstības plānošanas dokumentu mērķu un rīcību atbilstība Olborgas ilgtspējības kritērijiem. Pilsētu attīstības politikas ievi…
L’interetnia e la rivoluzione sociale e demografica della città contemporanea: nuovi scenari e vecchie strategie
2013
Lo scopo principale dell’articolo è quello di descrivere la situazione localizzativa ed abitativa dei migranti nella città di Palermo, all’interno dell’esposizione, confortata dai dati statistici, del fenomeno migratorio nel contesto nazionale. Si evidenziano le differenze e le peculiarità dell’ondata migratoria nel nord e nel sud del paese rappresentandone le diverse tipologie e le motivazioni delle scelte geografiche di insediamento. La ricerca tenta di dimostrare come la modificazione del palinsesto sociale ed etnico della città sia praticamente ignorata dagli strumenti di piano vigenti
Una capitale intermittente: la vicenda di Antiochia di Siria nel IV secolo d.C.
2020
Thanks to the mass of information that can be extrapolated from Libanius of Antioch, it is possible to select the two facies of the city on the Oronte in Late Antiquity, i.e. Antioch as administrative capital (of the province of Syria; of the Diocese of the East), and Antioch as imperial capital (although not in the strict sense: but the city played the role of ‘episodic capital’). This contribution aims at focusing on Antioch as ‘imperial capital intermittently’, highlighting: the implications both at economic- logis- tical (supply related to the presence of the court) and urban-monumental level (new buildings already starting from Diocletian) as well as the relationship with the other cit…
L’ampliamento come occasione di recupero della memoria e dell’identità
2012
We present the enlargement plan of an isolated cemetery in a small town of the west Sicily as it exemplifies some way to carry out the design for an “addition”. The enlargement faces a still readable and characteristic nineteenth-century building. Even introducing unavoidable innovative characteristics, the architecture we designed tries to resolve the difficult relationship between the new portion and the old cemetery, bell shaped, in steep slope above the town. The recovery of this place for collective memory, once realized as a closed enclosure, is realized by the mediation of a space which seeks to maintain, recover and reinforce the identity of places altered in the last years by uncon…

The renaissance of tramways and urban redevelopment in France
2017
Abstract Tramways have made a remarkable comeback in France since the 1980s. An organization of public transport based on the decentralized administration system set up in the early 1980s has allowed local urban authorities to make their own choices to develop public transport networks in the context of automobile domination. As in many other countries, worries about fossil fuel dependency and demands concerning sustainable urban development appear as strong elements in favour of urban light rail. However, in France, tramways are not just technical solutions for traffic congestion, they have also become a symbol of a cultural mutation in urban development planning. Coupled with a national p…
Synergies in Design and Health. The role of architects and urban health planners in tackling key contemporary public health challenges
2020
Background and aim: Important public health improvements have been achieved over the past decades, but new challenges are emerging and progress cannot be taken for granted. Urban settlements host most of the global population, but they are also sources of several threats. The aim of the paper is to investigate the role of architects and planners in contributing to overcome these critical health challenges and propose strategic actions for collaboration with the public health workforce. Methods: Taking global trends and public health challenges as starting point, a scoping literature review has been conducted to illustrate the possible synergies that architecture and public health workforce …
Città-porto a prova di futuro. Linee guida per l’integrazione di soluzioni basate sulla natura per l’adattamento climatico e la tutela della biodiver…
2023
Quale è il ruolo della pianificazione nel rispondere alle sfide della crisi climatica e della perdita di biodiversità nei contesti urbano-portuali? Il lavoro di ricerca costituisce un avanzamento del dibattito sulla riqualificazione delle aree portuali, contesti storicamente avulsi dalla considerazione di tematiche legate alla preservazione e valorizzazione degli habitat naturali e degli ecosistemi. La tesi desidera mettere al centro della discussione le città porto mediterranee come ecosistemi e come insediamenti urbani multi-specie, come attrici del cambiamento responsabile di fronte alle crisi e non soltanto nodi infrastrutturali strategici per l’economia, la finanza e gli usi militari. …
A sustainable city environment through child safety and mobility:A challenge based on ITS?
2012
Our cities should be designed to accommodate everybody, including children. We will not move toward a more sustainable society unless we accept that children are people with transportation needs, and ‘bussing’ them around, or providing parental limousine services at all times, will not lead to sustainability. Rather, we will need to make our cities walkable for children, at least those above a certain age. Safety has two main aspects, traffic safety and personal safety (risk of assault). Besides being safe, children will also need an urban environment with reasonable mobility, where they themselves can reach destinations with reasonable effort; else they will still need to be driven. This p…
