Ce travail d’habilitation développe une proposition à la fois théorique et méthodologique destinée au champ de recherche en urbanisme et en études urbaines. Cette proposition invite à analyser les discours des plans d’urbanisme, en s’appuyant non pas sur un seul cas d’étude ou sur un petit nombre de cas comparés, comme on le voit souvent dans les travaux de recherche en urbanisme, mais en suivant une logique de corpus de grande taille, analysés de manière systématique.Concrètement, il s’agit de constituer des corpus élargis de plusieurs dizaines de documents d’urbanisme. En fonction des questions posées, ces corpus peuvent être soit représentatifs d’un espace national de planification, en i…
Los conflictos urbanísticos : sus causas y sus protagonistas. Una reflexión a partir de la experiéncia de Cataluña
2006
En Cataluña, durante los últimos años, los conflictos relacionados con el uso y la gestión del territorio entre la administración y la ciudadanía han aumentado, especialmente durante el proceso de elaboración y ejecución de algunos planes urbanísticos. Este artículo pretende analizar cuáles son las causas que los originan e identificar los actores que intervienen y, por lo tanto, fijará la atención en las estrategias de movilización que desarrollan los ciudadanos y los discursos que elaboran para poder incidir en el proceso de planeamiento, así como también en las actuaciones que la administración local realiza. In Catalonia, during last years, the conflicts related with the use and managem…
Integrated geomorphological mapping in the north-western sector of Agrigento (Italy)
2012
The geomorphological map is an essential tool to perform a proper urban planning in mountainous or hilly areas. In this paper a multidisciplinary approach to derive a 1:2000 geomorphological map is described. The proposed methodology consists of the integration between aerial photographs, acquired in 2003, and four datasets of Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI) measures to update a pre-existing landslide inventory. The integrated data were used to achieve a validated geomorphological map by means of a geomorphological survey. The study area is located in southern Italy (Agrigento, Sicily). The city of Agrigento, included in the World Heritage List of UNESCO in 1997, is located on the…
The European Green Deal: New Challenges for the Economic Feasibility of Energy Retrofit at District Scale
2020
The European Green Deal proposes an epochal change in the European society by transforming environmental and climatic problems into opportunities and making sustainable and fair the European Union economic system. Radical changes will also concern urban redevelopment and energy efficiency measures in order to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve these objectives, rules and standards, as well as financial resources and assessment tools, are needed to support both urban planning and public decision process. This paper aims to analyze the existing European programs that are applied in some European smart cities, as they constitute a valuable source of information for the developm…
Shared Mobility in the Process of City-Transport Coevolution: Emerging Geographies and Policy Challenges
2020
In the broader context of the relationship between transport and urban development, this chapter discusses the impact that shared mobility services may have on the spatial and functional organisation of cities. In the first section, we review the relationship between transport and urban development in an historical perspective, with a view to the implications that the diverse mobility systems can have on space and the environment. We then examine the cultural and technological drivers for the spreading of shared mobility in contemporary cities, as well as the response these services can provide to different mobility needs in urban areas. In the concluding section, we discuss in what circums…

Do International Urban Sustainability Monitoring Frameworks Respond to the Perceived Needs of Norwegian small and mediumsized cities? – Results of a …
2020
Cities are estimated to have a 70% contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions. This makes urban sustainability monitoring necessary, but are urban sustainability monitoring frameworks applicable to cities of all sizes? And do they offer a consistent overview of the sustainability status of core urban development areas, such as transport? The present research tests if the specific needs of small and medium-sized Norwegian cities, as perceived by local stakeholders, are consistently covered by the indicators of urban sustainability monitoring frameworks. To this purpose, four international frameworks were evaluated in the frame of a workshop: Reference Framework for Sustainable Cities, K…
Anthropic space and design for all. New knowledge paths for urban planning strategies
2019
Abstract Nowadays city environment shows the presence of a mixed variety of elements, as natural, semi natural and anthropic components that build up both structure and connections of the urban context. This specific structure shapes and directs space and its functions strictly connected with their sustainable potential uses and sustainable development opportunities. The lack of rules and proper planning methods produces inefficient use conditions by resident citizens, entropy, functions' reduction of ecological networks and deep environmental impacts. The consequence comes out to be a great widespread life quality decrease in urban areas. These thoughts lead the authors to rethink the defi…
Urban layout, landscape features and pedestrian usage
2007
ACL; International audience; The analysis of the factors which condition walking in the urban environment is an important issue in urban planning. The present work is based on the hypothesis that the landscape, in its entirety, plays a role in encouraging pedestrian movements. The frequency of pedestrian traffic in the streets is analyzed as a function of accessibility and landscape preferences with the help of a conceptual framework. By defining accessibility as the measurement of the integration of the space syntax, preferences are researched using multiple stepwise regression of visual variables. This method has been applied to an area in the city of Lille (France) where the pedestrian f…
Sabratha. Riflessioni sull'urbanistica e sull'architettura religiosa della città punico-romana
2016
L'architettura religiosa di Sabratha è indagata tenendo conto tanto del contesto urbanistico nel quale sono inseriti gli edifici sacri quanto del contesto storico e religioso. L'indagine muove da una riflessioni sulle origini dell'emporio punico nel corso del quale si rivedono alcune ipotesi concernenti le principali divinità cittadine. Stante la sostanziale assenza delle massime divinità di Cartagine, emerge anche una certa autonomia, non priva di risvolti politici, del pantheon sabrathense da quello della capitale punica. La stessa dea Tanit è nota solo dal tophet, quindi conta attestazioni relativamente recenti, ben lontane dai tempi della fondazione degli emporia, che le fonti letterari…
