Palermo, La Città del Mercato Ballarò. COSTRUIRE SOCIALITA'

2019

Action research project of the LabCity Architecture (DARCH-UNIPA), directed by Prof. Renzo Lecardane, with the IACP within the wider urban regeneration process of the Ballarò Market in Palermo. Action research is a field work, a fragile and complex work, which through a relational approach access to critically enter into places, commits to attend spaces, to face the repeated human and urban conflicts of the community through a process of re-appropriation of the right to the city. Through the use of light materials, shapes and structures, still with lights, colors, smells and sounds, the project of the new Market Hall and the public space of Piazza del Carmine redesigns the places of relatio…

Enhancing repopulation in a decaying historical neighborhood through collaborative networking: A Dynamic Performance Governance approach

2022

Historic centers, as the internationally recognized heritage of the cities, and among the most valuable assets in urban Italy, have been underutilized, devitalized, and wasted (Pellegrini & Micelli, 2019). In fact, urban degradation has been pervasive and remaining also in other industrialized countries (Serrano et al., 2016). Many historic centers have been affected by urban deterioration and depopulation for the past two centuries (Pough & Wan, 2007), and the problem persists today. This research underlines the importance of employing a collaborative governance perspective in designing policies, in terms of not only fostering effective local governments' agendas but also promote active ci…

Intangible smart city inside tangible historic city: smart heritage as regeneration of Euro-Mediterranean realities

2014

The proposed research examines how EU policy is facilitating the construction of smart cities that are confronted with a cultural heritage to be protected, as is already happening in some urban realities of the Euro-Mediterranean band. We will proceed by making comparisons between the strategies adopted, through the identification of the most common civic practices and of the virtual infrastructure used. This article will bring to light how the virtual city descends into the historic one, how these two realities complement each other and when the virtual city makes use of that historical and material one.

RIFIUTI E CITTA' STORICA. IL PAESAGGIO URBANO E L’IMPATTO DELLE SOLUZIONI TECNOLOGICHE

2019

Circular management of resource flows is an operational problem that appears with greater severity in an historical urban landscape due to the constraints generated by road fabrics and by the need to protect its values. It often happens that the degradation generated by the irresolute nature of the technical-environmental issues related to the service management, affects both the vulnerability of the historical city characters and the involvement of different actors. Here, we present the results of a research work that, through a case study, develops the experimentation of a methodology that identifies criteria for a waste collection system planning in an urban landscape of high historical …

La cultura ci salverà? Processi di touristification a base culturale nel centro storico di Palermo

2023

Negli ultimi tre decenni la cultura ha avuto un ruolo chiave nella costruzione delle politiche urbane, divenendo uno strumento decisivo nella definizione delle strategie di sviluppo economico e nell’accesso alla competizione globale che caratterizzano l’attuale regime di neoliberismo urbano (Miles e Paddison 2005). Anche nel sud Europa la cosiddetta rigenerazione a base culturale ha rappresentato e continua ancora oggi a rappresentare una vera e propria ortodossia urbana, che trova nel turismo tanto una ragione di esistenza quanto un campo di attuazione. In particolare, negli ultimi anni i centri storici di molte città sudeuropee sono stati oggetto di trasformazioni profonde in cui pratiche…

Within this framework Palermo and its historic center are no exception. The epicenter of these processes is represented here by the Kalsa district which since the early 2000s has been placed at the center of a precise strategy of culturally-based renewal called to drive the city's tourist renaissance (Vinci 2008). The culmination of this path came in 2018 when Palermo was named the Italian capital of culture and chosen as the venue for Manifesta one of the most prestigious traveling biennales of contemporary art. However the exponential increase in tourist arrivals in the last three years came to a halt with the outbreak of the pandemic which showed with unprecedented evidence the contradictions of the development strategies pursued in the historic center and the marks they leave on the territories. While this sudden interruption seems to offer an opportunity to radically rethink urban and cultural policies and find new curbs to the conditions of overtourism in which the historic centers of South European cities and beyond find themselves it could also prove to be an accelerator of the dynamics of commodification of these spaces representing the revival of tourism an easy escape route in times of crisis. The objective of this contribution is to critically explore the urban and social transformations that have crossed the Kalsa district of Palermo from the 2000s to the present using qualitative and quantitative techniques (analysis of statistical data in-depth interviews critical discourse analysis ...) with particular reference to the role that culture has played in these processes. While it is impossible to prefigure post-pandemic scenarios we will examine documents and discourses that trace possible development directions for South European cities and their historic centers.Settore ICAR/21 - UrbanisticaSettore M-GGR/01 - Geografia

I territori marginali come laboratorio di futuro per le politiche di innovazione digitale

2021

Il contributo propone una riflessione sulla dimensione digitale, componente indispensabile della quotidianit , descrivendo alcune delle politiche italiane messe in atto negli ultimi anni per la “digitalizzazione” del Paese, con uno sguardo a quelle aree che soffrono maggiormente per un digital divide elevato, analizzando nella seconda parte alcune esperienze di innovazione digitale a supporto dello sviluppo di territori marginali e presentando alcuni elementi di criticit  legati a questa dimensione nel territorio dei Nebrodi. Nell’Italia dei “territori marginali” dove la perdita di popolazione e il conseguente abbandono dei centri abitati costituisce una ferita per l’intero Paese, si contra…

Nuovi abitanti per il riuso dei territori storici: il caso dell’area sud-orientale della Sicilia

2015

L’alta concentrazione di risorse culturali e paesaggistiche presenti nel Mezzogiorno pur avendo un grande potenziale produttivo stenta a fare da volano allo sviluppo. Nonostante le difficoltà del contesto, in alcune aree del Mezzogiorno alle tendenze regressive si stanno affiancando nuove tendenze progressive, energie nuove che alimentano un’imprenditorialità in settori legati alle risorse locali, nelle sue molteplici declinazioni. In tali aree i processi di trasformazione in atto sembrano guidati da nuove prospettive di sostenibilità, sviluppo locale e good governance. Partendo da queste considerazioni si è scelto come campo di indagine l’area sud-orientale della Sicilia che appare di part…

Innovation in the regeneration of the histric center in Sicily: Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto (ME)

2012

Abstract The criteria for intervention on the existing building heritage in the historic centers cannot be pursued without taking into consideration the renovation of the whole relevant urban territory. This does not imply an idea to postpone to future planning, rather to increase the topics in the General Urban Plan (PUG), by bringing into the PUG the elements of the traditional detailed plans for the historic areas with a methodology simplification. The detailed planning has been characterized in the years as “exemplary”, possibly due to the complexity of its project contents and rules and regulations, particularly in the historic areas. Indeed in Italy detailed plans for historic areas a…
