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…
Waterfront and Transformation in Contexts of Conflict
2016
This chapter defines in what way the seaside and the waterfront can be place of conflicts among infrastructures, production, unplanned urbanisation, bathing tourism and many other activities. The last section of the chapter describes synthetically the study case of Saint-Nazare Submarine base and the terms of regeneration of a typically place of conflict, like a military area connected with the waterfront. The transformations underway in the waterfront areas present a variety of complex settlement dynamics that are ascribable to the infrastructural and productive nature of many activities, such as unplanned urbanisation, the pressures of bathing tourism and mass tourism, and the system of s…
The Fluid City Experience: An Update
2016
This chapter describes the actual status of thirteen European cities that become fluid cities through their strategies for urban regeneration. These cities are divided into three groups: the large port-cities, the medium rank “city-port” cities, the riverfront cities. For every city, we define the status of urban environment and population, the trend for port and airport traffic and the strategies for urban regeneration.
An Atlas of the Mediterranean Waterfronts: An Instrument for Knowledge and Direction
2016
In order to design the renewal for urban fluidity, the Atlas for Mediterranean Waterfronts is not only an instrument for knowledge, but it is the tool in which we can analyse the contemporary relation between nature and culture. The chapter explains the duality-based atlas that mirrors the condition in city-port urban management and it defines the structure of the Atlas that is founded on urban clusters identities as research field.
METAPHORS, HYRIDISATION AND SOCIAL SPACE
2018
Il contributo è il risultato dell'attività di ricerca condotta durante il workshop internazionale promosso dal Raffles Design Institute di Hong Kong e dall'Università di Palermo e organizzato con lo scopo di generare nuovi progetti nelle due città, evocando "nuove immagini per nuovi significati "e riconfigurando spazi e comunità. L'articolo descrive alcuni dei risultati del workshop partendo dal concetto delle metafore come giustapposizione di immagini apparentemente distanti, ma che, come risultato della stessa metafora, sono ricomposte in un'immagine diversa, carica di nuovi significati semantici. The contribution is the result of the research activity during an international workshop: th…
The Fluid City Paradigm : Waterfront Regeneration as an Urban Renewal Strategy
2016
This book presents a new paradigm of knowledge and action with respect to urban waterfronts and the “fluid city paradigm,” explaining its methodological framework and describing an integrated and creative planning approach in which waterfront regeneration is pursued as a key urban-renewal strategy. It focuses especially on the WATERFRONT project (“Water And Territorial policiEs for integRation oF multisectoRial develOpmeNT”), which was funded jointly by Italy and Malta with the goal of developing common guidelines, strategies, and operational tools for the planning of coastal areas, based on cross-border exchange of experiences. In the described approach, the waterfront is recognized as hav…

Progettare città liquide
2021
Urban waterfronts are today one of the most prolific variants of augmented cities: fluid and hybrid places where resources, opportunities, aspirations and ambitions of cities are translated into visions, new relations and projects. The creative port city is capable of reactivating new fluid metabolism, generating new architectural forms and producing new landscapes. The permanent flows of urban culture, grounding on the waterfront, are capable to fuel huge relational networks, making cities more dynamic, communicative and competitive. The most important implication of waterfront regeneration is that this particular area should be addressed as a structural and strategic element of the city a…
Il "Teorema del Waterfront": un approccio progettuale integrato e creativo
2013
Abbiamo già sostenuto che la rigenerazione dei waterfront urbani non è più alimentata dalla redditività del mercato immobiliare o dagli investimenti dei fondi speculativi, ma una città-porto più creativa deve essere in grado di offrire reali opportunità per uno sviluppo che sia capace di produrre effetti congiunti sia sulla valorizzazione dei beni comuni sia sull’incremento dei settori produttivi. In questo scenario agisce il Progetto di cooperazione internazionale tra Italia e Malta denominato “WATERFRONT” orientato a definire “politiche territoriali per l’integrazione dello sviluppo multisettoriale delle zone costiere”, il quale mira ad esplorare la rigenerazione dei waterfront con modali…
