Sustainable Urban Requalification: Circularity of Processes for a New Metabolism
2014
Through this paper we present the first results of a research combining the management problem of Municipal Solid Waste to the requalification of built environment. The goal of this research is to mitigate the vulnerability of territory and urban heritage and to transform a problem into opportunities. Above all, we have paid attention to several exemplifying cases of Italian territory: suburbs of large towns, historical centres, small centres (and, in particular, those with a strong historical connotation). Their features are, at the same time, restrictions and challenges for designing new compatible systems that can contribute to the requalification of urban landscape recovering spaces wit…
URBAN RESILIENCE AND WASTE MANAGEMENT: PROPOSALS OF NEW INFRASTRUCTURES FOR URBAN AREAS AND BUILDINGS
2015
La produzione ingente di rifiuti, quale conseguenza di costumi di vita volti allo spreco, rende vulnerabili i sistemi urbani che possono essere sottoposti, in casi emergenziali, a pressioni eccezionali e incontrollate con situazioni prossime al collasso. Un’opportuna e corretta gestione integrata dei rifiuti contribuisce alla resilienza dei sistemi urbani. Perciò si rendono necessarie la pianificazione e la progettazione di nuovi servizi e l’individuazione/integrazione di spazi e dotazioni tecnologiche per incentivare la popolazione a effettuare la raccolta differenziata in modo corretto e costante. Si presentano gli esiti di uno studio svolto in un piccolo centro siciliano. Partendo dalle …
