Culture, communication and cooperation: the three Cs for a proactive creative city

2009

The network of European Union creative cities is a powerful new configuration of dynamic, innovative and action-oriented cities, able to transform the space using their network of cultural heritage and activities. From a vision in which the more competitive cities are those able to attract the creative class must go to a vision in which the city becomes generates creativity, presents itself as a powerful incubator of economies based on creativity, culture, research and artistic production. The cities will have to invest in the experience economy, strengthening their identity. The Creative City 3.0, therefore, is an active tension, that requires a long-term vision ability, and calls us to ac…

From Waterfront Regeneration to Fluid City Planning

2013

In current global crisis the strong flows of financial, social and relational capitals that powered urban regeneration over the last fifteen years are no longer available to be tapped in an indiscriminate manner as was the case until just a few years ago. The most dynamic cities in the future will no longer be those that are able to attract urban projects and investors driven by the real estate market or leisure-based development, but the cities that have deep and different cultural resources and that are able to use them as the basis for creating new urban cultures and for generating new economic values. Revitalising waterfront is no longer easy opportunity for long-term investments or for…

Re-imagine, Re-load, Re-cycle: New Urbanism for the City of Future

2014

The failure of European development model based on financial protocols urges the need to "re-think capitalism" toward a greater spatial dimension and a different approach in the use/reuse/reduction of the capitals utilised in development processes. Especially in Mediterranean Europe we have to restart from urban capitals (space, identity, quality, service and production) using them as renewed engines of sustainable growth (RE-IMAGINE). In the global change scenario, the shrinking city produces several urban "fragments", functional "chips" and "scraps" of development that, through a recycling process/project, can be brought back into urban infrastructures for new cycles of life (RE-CYCLE). T…

The Fluid City Paradigm: a deeper innovation

2016

Waterfront regeneration needs to be disruptive: a paradigm shift and a deeper innovation of methods and tools must be set up in order to act in the changing times we live. In current global crisis, a true metamorphosis, the strong flows of financial, social and relational capitals that powered regeneration of urban waterfronts over the last twenty years are no longer available to be tapped in an indiscriminate manner as was the case until just a few years ago. The most dynamic cities in the future will no longer be those that are able to attract big projects and rich investors driven by the real estate market or leisure-based development, but the cities have deep socio-cultural diversity an…

Progettare città nel tempo della metamorfosi

2013

Metamorfosi è una potente parola-guida della contemporaneità. E’ un impegno di cui numerosi segni ci facevano intravedere la necessità durante gli anni propulsivi della globalizzazione e molteplici indizi tracciavano la strada da percorrere. Ma, anestetizzati dalle aporie dello sviluppo, li abbiamo ignorati, emarginandoli nella ecosofia o reagendo in modo impulsivo con seducenti inni alla decrescita felice. Oggi invece gli anni recessivi di una crisi che non è una semplice stagione di attraversamento ci chiedono la responsabilità di un mutamento di paradigma che conduca alla metamorfosi ecologica, culturale, economica, sociale e politica. Ma il mutamento sarà soprattutto urbano, perché vivi…

Strategic Vision of a Euro-Mediterranean Port City: A Case Study of Palermo

2013

Italian harbours assume a decisive role in order to develop a Euro-Mediterranean web for maritime transportation. The geostrategic position of the Italian peninsula can be seen as a logistic platform at the centre of the maritime trades in the Mediterranean area, giving to its port cities the role of gateway of economic flows. The port poles, meant as hubs, are able to attract investments and create economic growth and territorial development through new operative models of urban usage and management. The management policies have to consider the environmental characteristics and distinctive features, respecting the identity of the places as concrete evidence of history, a source of intellec…
