Full textAbstract:
Il Regolamento urbanistico edilizio non č il luogo della regola banale, ma concorre alla costruzione del progetto strategico per la cittŕ. La sua natura ‘statutaria' lo rende particolarmente sensibile alla consuetudine localmente radicata, e questo crea una tensione tra inerzia ed innovazione in un processo dagli esiti incerti, ben oltre la mera approvazione formale. L'articolo propone quattro passaggi: evidenzia il ruolo di snodo assunto dal Rue in rapporto al Psc e al Poc, ma soprattutto con i regolamenti di settore e complementi normativi di cui tenta il coordinamento; sottolinea come il Rue configuri un ‘palinsesto', nel complesso equilibrio tra regole che restano e regole nuove; si sofferma sui principali scostamenti che marcano lo scarto rispetto al passato; sostiene l'urgenza di una rinnovata efficacia del regolamento anche a costo di una temporanea minore efficienza.

Il servizio propone una riflessione sulla natura esplorativa e progettuale del termine ‘bioregione'. Il campo d'indagine è la metropoli milanese, centro di un sistema di luoghi e paesaggi, relazioni tra produzioni e consumi, gestione di scarti ed energia. La prospettiva bioregionale, spesso legata a nuove ideologie e scuole, affinché non risulti una semplice modalità di identificazione accademica, richiede approcci pragmatici basati su azioni concrete; qui si parla di azioni rivolte al miglioramento della qualità agronomica e ambientale e della relazione tra produzioni, consumi e scarti. La lettura territoriale e paesaggistica del sistema bioregionale si offre come una prospettiva di lavoro e di ricerca imperfetta, ma utile alla comprensione di relazioni complesse, che permette di affrontare sfide ambientali e paesaggistiche riguardanti i territori contemporanei, nella valorizzazione delle risorse locali.

Full textAbstract:
Digitalizing cities has become increasingly complex and difficult to control despite advanced computational tools. The comprehension of emergent, dynamic agent–pattern interaction is limited. Studies show that the implementation of large-scale plans occasionally fails to meet expectations due to uncertainty in urban actor processes and institutions. Theories of complexity and resilience reflecting urban unpredictability and non-equilibrium enable understanding and planning methods for guiding actors. We explored empirically via close reading and spatial analyses the ability of the traditional master planning instrument to steer the actor allocation in Tampere, Finland. The plan apparently failed to appropriately guide the actors, who formed self-organizing patterns colliding with the planning aims enabled by deviations and lower-level planning instruments. The planning mode was either enabling or reactive. We recognized three types of self-organization: single-point attraction, emergent type, and location-based self-organization. Self-organization was the major force behind urban transition. Only certain large-scale projects in the city center somewhat complied with the planning aims, however through negotiations. We proposed planning solutions encouraging and guiding self-organizing patterns by recognizing complexity in strategies, and with loose plans, constant monitoring, correcting, and experimenting in planning. The results participate in building more general knowledge of planning considering self-organizing urban dynamics and provide applications for urban planning.

Il testo presenta strumenti di analisi e progetto di filiere alimentari elaborati nella ricerca ‘Bioregione'. Lo studio mira ad approfondire i processi che connettono domanda e offerta in un ambito territoriale definito e a formulare scenari migliorativi. Le filiere interessano i principali alimenti che compongono la domanda aggregata associata alla ristorazione collettiva nelle diverse fasi, dalla produzione in campo al conferimento al centro cottura, al consumo e alla gestione degli scarti. Gli indicatori utilizzati sono la domanda energetica complessiva (energia primaria non rinnovabile), la contabilità di terreno agricolo produttivo per quantità di prodotto o pasto equivalente e il costo di produzione. Essi costituiscono strumenti sperimentali di riferimento per una pianificazione territoriale locale che metta al centro un nuovo modello metabolico campagnacittà ambientalmente sostenibile.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents concepts important for understanding urban poor housing in Vietnam, with a focus on key environmental, socio-economic, and cultural dimensions that bear on the housing sector. The paper draws on extensive field studies and presents a diagnosis of the context of and prospects for housing of the urban poor in Vietnam's two main cities: Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. While the literature on this theme is scanty, it points to the market-orientated economic reforms initiated in the 1980s as a key factor in creating imbalance in the housing supply. Recognising the current challenges in balancing affordability and sustainability, the study explores Vietnam's lack of adequate and affordable housing and the problems faced by the urban poor in accessing adequate housing.

ABSTRACTThe ageing of Third World populations and its implications for planning in social welfare has received little attention in the literature until now. This article explores the need radically to alter Western models of care for elderly people in an African context, arguing that in situations of mass poverty and gross economic differentiation a concentration on social welfare for urban formal sector employees is inappropriate. Zimbabwe is used as a case study. The situation of the aged in Zimbabwe is analysed from existing but scanty data, and sets of policy proposals that have relevance to the national economy and to the rural, urban and commercial farming sectors are discussed.

The decade of the 1960’s in Spain was characterized for period in which there proliferated the construction of housing estates. Though these constructions in a beginning(principle) were constructed in the periphery of the cities nowadays they form a part of the urban con-solidated nucleus. They are characterized for having a morfogía in opened apple and in ge-neral to receive groups with scanty buying power.

Find full textAbstract:
Il crescente bisogno di infrastrutture di trasporto va inevitabilmente a collidere con la penuria di spazi che caratterizzano le città metropolitane. Per questo motivo ci si orienta sempre più spesso verso soluzioni che riescono a minimizzare lo spazio urbano utilizzato per sopperire ai bisogni legati alla mobilità.
Il presente lavoro di tesi è incentrato sul tema del comportamento di scavi a cielo aperto in ambiente urbano, con particolare riferimento agli spostamenti delle strutture perimetrali di sostegno e del terreno a monte, nonché alla caratterizzazione geotecnica dei terreni interessati. In contesti edificati infatti, il controllo degli spostamenti è di fondamentale importanza per ridurre il più possibile il rischio di effetti indesiderati sulle strutture preesistenti.
Il lavoro è stato strutturato come segue:
Il capitolo 2 è dedicato ai risultati di evidenze sperimentali raccolte da diversi ricercatori con riferimento a un gran numero di casi di studio, che hanno portato alla definizione di correlazioni empiriche tra gli spostamenti, le caratteristiche del terreno e dell'opera di sostegno. Queste costituiscono un primo riferimento per una previsione qualitativa degli spostamenti indotti dagli scavi.
Nel capitolo 3 si affronta il caso studio della stazione Dateo della metropolitana M4 di Milano, particolare attenzione viene rivolta alla caratterizzazione tecnologica degli elementi fondamentali, strutturali e geotecnici, che qualificano questo tipo di opere.
Nel capitolo 4 vengono sintetizzati i risultati delle campagne geognostiche, ed esposta la caratterizzazione geotecnica dei terreni dell'area in esame.
Il capitolo 5 è dedicato alla descrizione di semplici metodi empirici per la stima dei massimi spostamenti indotti dalla realizzazione di scavi profondi.
Nel capitolo 6 si presentano le conclusioni del lavoro svolto.

Full textAbstract:
Broadening our Classroom is organized into two parts. Part One deals with a theoretical discussion about the meaning and motivations of planning education in contemporary societies and times. From here, planning education can be both contextualized and understood within the wider discourse of what planning education should be in the 21st century. This study then works to illuminates areas of planning education that must be critiqued and challenged based on the way they are currently taught and engaged. Here, the ideas of ‘skills’ and ‘competencies’ are teased in an attempt to fruitfully grapple with planning education from the standpoint of its students.
This points towards the need for 21st century planners to observe values, utilize skills and employ took-kits which include the ability to work in cross-cultural settings effectively (at home and abroad), an area of planning education which is to an extent lacking in practice. The merger of planning education and cross-cultural learning experience is proposed as a mechanism to address some of the challenges associated with this endeavor.
Part Two transports the theoretical discussion into practice through an evaluation of the Naga City Studio Course offered by the School of Community and Regional Planning at the University of British Columbia (SCARP UBC). In May and June 2007, 20 UBC students participated in a ‘Planning Studio’ course in Naga City, Philippines. The Naga City Studio course serves as a case study in operationalizing a direction for planning education. The course is evaluated and analyzed primarily through participant’s experiences and reflections on the course.
It becomes clear that the Naga City Studio Course serves as a creative and ultimately profound example of new directions in planning education, providing students the opportunity to gain cross-cultural exposure and to better understand and enhance their planning related skills within a cross-cultural context. The opportunity for students to both develop and better understand the (cultural) competencies necessary as practicing professionals is a key outcome of the course and serves as the key finding of Broadening our Classroom.

Haberstroh, Charlotte Juliane. "Geographical Information Systems (GIS) Applied to Urban Nutrient Management: Data Scarce Case Studies from Belize and Florida." Scholar Commons, 2017. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/6620.
Full textAbstract:
Nutrient inputs into the environment greatly impact urban ecosystems. Appropriate management strategies are needed to limit eutrophication of surface water bodies and contamination of groundwater. In many existing urban environments, retrofits or complete upgrades are needed for stormwater and/or wastewater infrastructure to manage nutrients. However, sustainable urban nutrient management requires comprehensive baseline data that is often not available. A Framework for Urban Nutrient (FUN) Management for Geographic Information Systems (GIS) was developed to specifically address those areas with limited data access. Using spatial analysis in GIS, it links water quality, land use, and socio-demographics, thereby reducing data collection and field-based surveying efforts. It also presents preliminary results in a visually accessible format, potentially improving how data is shared and discussed amongst diverse stakeholders. This framework was applied to two case studies, one in Orange County Florida and one in Placencia, Belize.
A stormwater pond index (SPI) was developed to evaluate 961 residential wet ponds in Orange County, Florida where data was available for land use and socio-demographic parameters, but limited for water quality. The SPI consisted of three categories (recreation, aesthetics, education) with a total of 13 indicators and provided a way to score the cultural and ecosystem services of 41 ponds based on available data. Using only three indicators (presence of a fence, Dissolved Oxygen (DO) < 4 mg/l, and water depth < 3 ft), 371 out of 961 stormwater ponds were assessed. Additional criteria based on socio-demographic information (distance to a school, population density, median household income under $50,000, percentage of population below the poverty line, and distance to parks) identified seven wet ponds as optimum for potential intervention to benefit residents and urban nutrient management purposes.
For the second case study, a water quality analysis and impact assessment was performed for the Placencia peninsula and lagoon in Belize. This study had access to water quality data, but limited land use data and very limited socio-demographic data. Since May 2014, water quality samples have been taken from 56 locations and analyzed monthly. For this study, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Nitrate (NO3--N), Ammonia (NH3), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and 5-Day Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5), Escherichia coli (E. coli), and Enterococci were selected to assess spatial and temporal variation of water quality in the groundwater on the peninsula as well as the surface water in lagoon, estuaries and along the coast. A spline interpolation of DO, Nitrate, BOD5, and COD for June 2016 indicated the concentration distribution of those parameters and areas of special concern. A spatial analysis was conducted that showed that Nitrate and Enterococci exceeded the effluent limits of Belize very frequently in the complete study area while the other parameters contributed to the identification of key areas of concern. As a high variability of concentrations over time was observed, a temporal analysis was conducted identifying a link between the water quality data and two temporal impact factors, rainfall and tourism. The two case studies showed the broad and flexible application of the FUN management for GIS and the great advantages the use of GIS offers to reduce costs and resources use.

Full textAbstract:
This work illustrates a soil-tunnel-structure interaction study performed by an integrated,geotechnical and structural,approach based on 3D finite element analyses and validated against experimental observations.The study aims at analysing the response of reinforced concrete framed buildings on discrete foundations in interaction with metro lines.It refers to the case of the twin tunnels of the Milan (Italy) metro line 5,recently built in coarse grained materials using EPB machines,for which subsidence measurements collected along ground and building sections during tunnelling were available.Settlements measured under freefield conditions are firstly back interpreted using Gaussian empirical predictions. Then,the in situ measurements’ analysis is extended to include the evolving response of a 9 storey reinforced concrete building while being undercrossed by the metro line.In the finite element study,the soil mechanical behaviour is described using an advanced constitutive model. This latter,when combined with a proper simulation of the excavation process, proves to realistically reproduce the subsidence profiles under free field conditions and to capture the interaction phenomena occurring between the twin tunnels during the excavation. Furthermore, when the numerical model is extended to include the building, schematised in a detailed manner, the results are in good agreement with the monitoring data for different stages of the twin tunnelling. Thus, they indirectly confirm the satisfactory performance of the adopted numerical approach which also allows a direct evaluation of the structural response as an outcome of the analysis. Further analyses are also carried out modelling the building with different levels of detail. The results highlight that, in this case, the simplified approach based on the equivalent plate schematisation is inadequate to capture the real tunnelling induced displacement field. The overall behaviour of the system proves to be mainly influenced by the buried portion of the building which plays an essential role in the interaction mechanism, due to its high stiffness.

Full textAbstract:
Urbanization modifies the thermal characteristics of the land and makes way for a succession of transformations in the urban environmental system. This phenomenon, known as Urban Heat Island (UHI), is characterized by elevated temperatures in urban areas that negatively impact on the quality of life and environment in urban areas including, increased emissions of Green House Gases (GHGs) and rising energy consumption. These impacts add to global climate change and thus, mitigating UHI is essential to mitigating global climate change. One GHG, Carbon Dioxide (CO2), accounts for about half of the Earth’s anthropogenic GHG emissions. Terrestrial ecosystems can act as Carbon sinks (C sinks), i.e. natural vegetation reservoirs that absorb more C than they release. Thus, C sinks play an essential and critical function in lowering CO2. Furthermore, providing appropriate C sinks at both the building and urban scales can decrease UHI and contribute to reduction in energy consumption. This study used Landsat 8 imagery of the site, Al Bayt Stadium in Qatar, to investigate the effects of surface UHI by computing the Land Surface Temperature (LST) difference of the site---pre- and post-construction, as well as examine the correlation between natural vegetation abundance and temperature in ten locations within the site’s vicinity. Results show that minimum, maximum and mean LST of the case study area (2014 vs. 2020) decreased 2.80 oC, 5.5 oC and 2.3 oC, respectively, as well as a decreasing trend in the LST as a function of increasing C Sinks. These results demonstrate the importance of introducing C sinks to lower LST and mitigate UHI. Mitigating UHI also has a direct effect on Energy Consumption Balance (ECB). This equilibrium is achieved not only through the introduction of C sinks, but balancing C sinks with high albedo materials and natural ventilation. Thus, this study also investigated the site’s various design aspects (e.g. cooling technology, structure and surface albedo materials, landscaping) and found that Al Bayt Stadium’s design successfully incorporates strategies to reduce energy consumption at both the urban (macro) and building (micro) scales.

"Studio e ottimizzazione della fermentabilità di scarti organici di provenienza urbana e valorizzazione degli overflows di processo tramite digestione anaerobica all’interno di una piattaforma pilota integrata per la produzione di biopolimeri e metano." Master's Degree Thesis, Università Ca' Foscari Venezia, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/10579/12270.
Full textAbstract:
La presente sperimentazione si inserisce all’interno del progetto europeo Res Urbis, che ha come scopo la valorizzazione di scarti organici di provenienza urbana tramite la produzione di biopolimeri (poliidrossialcanoati, PHA) e metano, attraverso un approccio integrato successivamente descritto. In particolare, in questa sperimentazione sono state utilizzate due matrici differenti e facilmente reperibili all’interno dell’impianto di trattamento acque di Treviso: fango attivo secondario (dopo ispessimento) e la Frazione Organica dei Rifiuti Solidi Urbani (FORSU), precedentemente pressata e omogeneizzata. In questo progetto in particolare, la necessità di produrre polimeri biodegradabili (il cui mercato è tuttavia in fase di investigazione) incontra il bisogno di valorizzare i flussi di scarto prodotti dalle città, in linea con l’ideologia dell’economia circolare. La ricerca condotta in scala pilota comprendeva una piattaforma multi stadio anaerobico-aerobico: nel primo stadio anaerobico, si producevano acidi grassi volatili tramite fermentazione acidogenica di un miscela di fango secondario e FORSU; la miscela fermentata ad alto tenore in VFA, fungeva poi da substrato per la linea di produzione del biopolimero (costituita da due stadi aerobici in successione). La valorizzazione degli overflows costituiti dall’eccesso di fango attivo secondario e da cake di fermentato (dopo separazione solido/liquido post-fermentazione), avveniva per mezzo di digestione anaerobica.
In questa tesi sono riportati monitoraggio e performance di un fermentatore in scala pilota (volume di esercizio di 380 L) alimentato con una miscela di fango attivo secondario e FORSU con un OLR di circa 10 kgTVS/m3d ed un HRT di 5 d, al fine di valutarne eventuali criticità; parallelamente è stata valutata la migliore condizione termica a cui attuare la digestione anaerobica per la valorizzazione degli overflows confrontando due digestori (volume di esercizio 230 L, HRT 15 d, OLR di 2.2 kgTVS/m3d), il primo tenuto in termofilia (T = 55°C) ed il secondo in mesofilia (T = 37°C).
La fermentazione acidogenica di una miscela al 70% v/v di fango attivo secondario e 30% v/v di FORSU è risultata più stabile in regime mesofilo (T = 37°C), pur comportando un minor grado di solubilizzazione della materia organica; la condizione termofila, invece, rendeva più difficoltoso il mantenimento del pH al di sopra di 5.0, causando dunque problemi di inibizione sulla coltura acidogena.
Per quanto riguarda la digestione anaerobica, gli SGP (produzione specifica di biogas) calcolati sperimentalmente sui due reattori sono stati confrontati tramite test statistici (Shapiro-Wilk, test-F e test-T di Welch) che hanno mostrato che il digestore termofilo aveva una resa maggiore nella produzione di biogas, ma dai bilanci energetici condotti sulla piattaforma si nota che lavorare in mesofilia è la scelta ottimale. Tuttavia tale scelta va inserita all’interno di un approccio più complesso (che esula dagli scopi della presente tesi), che include anche l’analisi tecnico-economica della linea PHA, trattandosi, come già detto, di una piattaforma integrata per la valorizzazione degli scarti urbani tramite produzione di biopolimeri e metano.

Full textAbstract:
India, with its large rural population and limited mental health resources, must identify alternative strategies to deliver services. Telepsychiatry offers a pragmatic solution to redistribute sparse resources concentrated in urban pockets. Information available about telepsychiatry practice in India is largely anecdotal with limited literature available in the public domain with regard to technology used, processes undertaken, utilization patterns, or outcomes. The experience of the Schizophrenia Research Foundation (SCARF) in running a telepsychiatry network under its SCARF Telepsychiatry in Pudukottai (STEP) program is described in this chapter. This includes an account of the background to this initiative, description of the program methodology, the technology used, and the required infrastructure to establish mobile telepsychiatry clinics and fixed-line clinics in rural communities. The reach of the program, its coverage, major achievements, and challenges faced are described in detail.

AbstractWith the rapid development of the city and economy, a series of environmental problems have emerged in Macao, such as the lack of freshwater resources, disastrous urban flooding caused by typhoons and heavy rains, intensification of the urban heat island effect, increased carbon dioxide emissions and pressure on recreational space. Hengqin is committed to promote Macao economy’s sustainable development, facilitate urban integration of Hengqin–Macao and improve locals’ welfare. In the urbanisation process, Hengqin is based on long-term scientific development, ensuring the coordination of development and ecological protection and striving to achieve the goal of ‘ecological island’. As Macao is densely populated, there are scarce ecological resources with desperate needs of various ecosystem services. It is of great necessity to study the complementary interface between ecosystem services of Macao and Hengqin.

From a research for the Metropolitan City of Turin on the flows of matter, energy, services, people and information between the metro-mountain and metro-urban subsystems, it has emerged that the ecosystem flows always have a degree of openness to the outside, which requires an assessment of the positive or negative effects on ecosystems on a larger scale, up to the global one. In perspective, less sectoral and more multifunctional visions of the interventions seem to be required, which also recognize the mountain as a new central location as a privileged place to experiment with alternative life models.

AbstractCritical success factors for the efficient use of electric trucks are the operational range and the total costs of ownership. For both range and efficient use, power consumption is the key factor. Increasing precision in forecasting power consumption and, hence, maximum range will pave the way for efficient vehicle deployment. However, not only electric trucks are scarce, but also is knowledge with respect to what these vehicles are actually technically capable of. Therefore, this article focuses on power consumption and range of electric vehicles. Following a discussion on how current research handles the mileage of electric vehicles, the article illustrates how to find simple yet robust and precise models to predict power consumption and range by using basic parameters from transport planning only. In the paper, we argue that the precision of range and consumption estimates can be substantially improved compared to common approaches which usually posit a proportional relationship between energy consumption and travel distance and require substantial safety buffers.

For many years, urban planners’ description of the Zambian capital Lusaka as a “garden city” seemed a cruel and even preposterous misnomer. Potholed and polluted, the city was more colloquially described as a pit. Indeed, parts of town rang with the sounds of a quarry, though the country’s main mineral wealth lay several hours drive to the north. Lusaka’s roadside rockbreakers, men and women who hammered limestone into gravel, epitomized to foreign journalists the disintegration of Zambia’s once-booming economy. But by the year 2000, the old planners’ term for Lusaka had taken on an unanticipated truth. The rock-breakers were still there, and probably not earning much more than the eight dollars a week they earned several years before. But now the roads they worked alongside led, in fact, to vast gardens—thousands of verdant acres producing the down-sized vegetables found in London’s upscale supermarkets: baby corn, baby carrots and baby patty pan squash; miniature chilies, mangetout peas, and, of course, fine-grade green beans. Lusaka had become a garden city on an industrial scale. Agriculture on the margins of Lusaka was by no means new (Sanyal 1987), but now that it contributed to export earnings rather than simply the urban food supply, it fueled new hopes for economic recovery. Even though the horticultural sector (encompassing roses and fruits as well as vegetables) comprised only a small part of the national economy, it was by far the most dynamic part, growing at 20 percent a year. Zambians had witnessed double-digit growth rates before, when postwar demand for the country’s copper fueled what some observers saw as the African Industrial Revolution, a period of economic and social change “not seen in thousands of years” (Mitchell 1951, 21). The reversal of Copperbelt fortune from the mid-1970s onward gave cause for skepticism about any kind of boom, and the successes of the horticultural sector appeared particularly fragile. Apart from the intrinsic fragility of the commodities themselves, Zambia’s vegetable export firms had to contend with supermarket clients who demanded much and brooked no slipups.

Full textAbstract:
Price of Salt begins in the tradition of the naturalist lesbian pulp novel before veering sharply into the genre of the Western mid-way through. But it is a Western with a difference. While Highsmith’s characters follow the Western’s arc, in which the neurasthenic urban subject goes West, encounters a danger that cures and strengthens her, and ultimately returns home prepared to do the work of urban (and metonymically national) renewal, Highsmith changes the protagonist from a professional man into a working class, homosexual woman, and she expands the Western’s scope from the urban core to the metropolitan region as a whole. This chapter argues that through the novel’s radical revision of the Western to include two queer characters, The Price of Salt cleaves apart the Lavender Scare from the Red Scare and constructs a Red Scare defense of lesbianism in which lesbianism becomes a tool for subjective, urban, and national renewal—and, in turn, the attainment of sexual rights and freedoms becomes linked with the construction of a thoroughly-capitalist subjectivity organized around individual freedom, private property, and entrepreneurialism.

Full textAbstract:
Se si considera la componente fisica del sistema città come espressione materiale dell’insieme dei fenomeni evolutivi dei luoghi, appare evidente come la sua rappresentazione possa essere considerata come sistema di conoscenza generale in grado di manifestare una convergenza di informazioni di natura altamente eterogenea. Le vaste trasformazioni che hanno interessato le città nella storia hanno determinato una evoluzione non solo nelle modifiche morfologiche degli assetti territoriali e nella stratificazione architettonica delle strutture urbane, ma anche nella percezione e fruizione degli spazi urbani. Se si considera l’organizzazione dello spazio urbano come ambito di relazione tra gli uomini, i contributi che provengono dalle fonti bibliografiche, iconografiche e cartografiche in particolare possono consentire la ricostruzione diacronica dei tessuti urbani. Questa ricostruzione è resa possibile dalla lettura delle diverse rappresentazioni che della città sono state date nel tempo, come rappresentazioni iconografiche o pittoriche, talvolta simboliche se non addirittura metaforiche, che consentono di acquisire conoscenze dei luoghi, anche quando presentano uno scarso grado di attendibilità.
L’introduzione dell’informatica nel rilevamento e nella rappresentazione cartografica e la realizzazione dei sistemi informativi territoriali hanno aperto nuove possibilità non solo nella realizzazione di database collegati e georeferenziati, che possono contenere una notevole quantità di informazioni di diversa natura progressivamente incrementabili, ma soprattutto rendendo agevoli sia le molteplici interrogazioni sia le successive elaborazioni.
Lo sviluppo della cartografia digitale dalla quale si possono derivare direttamente modelli tridimensionali, si pone quindi come punto di partenza per una corretta rappresentazione della complessità del fenomeno urbano e per un ripensamento dello spazio non più sulla base di esplorazioni planimetriche, ma tramite la creazione di modelli virtuali generati in maniera più o meno automatica a partire dalla cartografia stessa.
In questo senso, il modello di derivazione cartografica costituisce l’aspetto metrico-quantitativo della rappresentazione della città, aspetto che risulta tanto più esatto, obiettivo e verificabile in quanto ottenuto con strumenti che rendono le misurazioni sufficientemente attendibili. Si tratta dunque di esplorare la cartografia tridimensionale cogliendone le peculiarità e la ricchezza nella restituzione dello spazio urbano, caratteristiche, queste, che suggeriscono immediatamente di tentare di ricostruire con la stessa vivacità rappresentativa anche tutti i trascorsi storici della città o, quanto meno, di alcuni dei suoi momenti topici, con particolare attenzione alle trasformazioni di natura orografica ed edilizia.
In questo quadro emergono due distinti aspetti di natura metodologica, l’uno concernente la generazione del modello urbano e le implicazioni tecniche che questo comporta (implementazione di dati, automatismi, studi tipo-morfologici, scala del modello, …), l’altro relativo all’evoluzione della città attraverso il confronto tra modelli cartografici diversi (bi e tridimensionali).
La realizzazione di un modello virtuale basato sulla cartografia digitale 3D, che fotografa lo stato attuale della struttura urbana, può rappresentare la griglia tridimensionale di riferimento per una visualizzazione delle trasformazioni spaziali attuata con una procedura che ripercorre a ritroso il cammino della storia. Si tratta di riferire a questa griglia orientata sulla base di capisaldi topografici certi i dati cartografici e iconografici provenienti dalla ricerca storico-documentaria, sulla base della individuazione di elementi invarianti della struttura urbana, come assetti orografici, vuoti urbani o edifici esistenti, etc., che non hanno mutato la loro localizzazione e le loro caratteristiche morfologiche.
Così concepito, il modello tridimensionale di derivazione cartografica si caratterizza per la capacità di recepire e valorizzare documenti molto diversi e non necessariamente “scientifici” ai fini di una visualizzazione interattiva della storia del singolo brano di città o del singolo edificio per valutarne le trasformazioni sul piano morfologico e dimensionale, ma anche percettivo.

Down through the centuries, Amsterdam has always been a compactly built city. There were good reasons for the compactness. It was not easy to make the marshy ground suitable for building. Water courses had to be filled in, marshlands drained, dikes had to be constructed and canals dug. Until the 19th century, the city had to be defended by walls and city ramparts from the surrounding dangers. It was only safe to life inside those walls. Even now there are still good reasons for continuing to build compactly. The Netherlands is a densely populated country where space and nature are scarce; the space we have has to well used, so city expansions were always carefully planned. There’s always been a tension between the need to build compactly and the quality of living in the city. In the history of Amsterdam can be seen how it was necessary to choose between density and space. In periods when the economy was flourishing, such as the 17th century, the city allowed itself more space. In periods of stagnation, buildings were placed increasingly close to each other. But, as architect Rietveld said, “In a properly built city, the scale of a dwelling can be closer to that of a big roomy coat with inside pockets than to a castle.”

Urban flow prediction is a fundamental task to build smart cities, where neural networks have become the most popular method. However, the deep learning methods typically rely on massive training data that are probably inaccessible in real world. In light of this, the community calls for knowledge transfer. However, when adapting transfer learning for cross-city prediction tasks, existing studies are built on static knowledge transfer, ignoring the fact inter-city correlations change dynamically across time. The dynamic correlations make urban feature transfer challenging. This paper proposes a novel Spatio-Temporal Adaptation Network (STAN) to perform urban flow prediction for data-scarce cities via the spatio-temporal knowledge transferred from data-rich cities. STAN encompasses three modules: i) spatial adversarial adaptation module that adopts an adversarial manner to capture the transferable spatial features; ii) temporal attentive adaptation module to attend to critical dynamics for temporal feature transfer; iii) prediction module that aims to learn task-driven transferable knowledge. Extensive experiments on five real datasets show STAN substantially outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

Full textAbstract:
Lo studio qui proposto ha preso l’avvio da due eventi fondamentali per lo sviluppo urbanistico
della città di Viterbo, nessuno dei quali possiamo dire costituisca la conseguenza di una politica
urbana di indirizzo.
Il primo ha decretato, a partire dagli anni Ottanta del secolo scorso, lo spopolamento e il
progressivo degrado del centro storico a seguito del vero e proprio esodo verso i nuovi
insediamenti di edilizia economica e popolare e soprattutto verso le innumerevoli ville, costruite
facendole passare per fabbricati rurali, nelle zone agricole a ridosso della città; il secondo,
tuttora in atto, registra una tendenza opposta in virtù dei mutamenti profondi occorsi nel tessuto
sociale e della mutata situazione economica.
Le scarse disponibilità economiche hanno reso infatti nuovamente appetibili, da parte di nuovi
fruitori con scarse possibilità economiche, i numerosi immobili del centro rimasti liberi e in
cattive condizioni di manutenzione, dapprima senza operare alcuna alterazione nel tessuto
edilizio esistente; quindi è iniziata un’operazione sistematica di portata ben diversa, mirata alla
trasformazione in unità abitative minime dei locali situati al livello stradale adibiti un tempo a
magazzini e cantine.
Esigenze differenti di persone differenti hanno indotto una nuova territorializzazione della città
storica. Resta da capire in che misura questo processo sia stato previsto o valutato, e se la
costituzione di un tessuto sociale così omogeneo nella struttura possa considerarsi
positivamente ai fini del riequilibrio socio-economico complessivo, di cui il problema edilizioabitativo
rappresenta solo uno degli aspetti The aim of this paper is to reflect on two major trends concerning the urban development of the
city of Viterbo, neither of which appears to stem from a precise urban policy.
The first one was the depopulation and progressive decline of the ancient city centre caused by
the relocation of the inhabitants towards the new council housing settlements and especially
towards the countless new villas, originally intended as farm houses on agricultural land
adjacent to the city.
The second one, still ongoing, is an opposite trend, the result of profound changes in the social
fabric of the society and of the present economic stagnation. Many unoccupied and neglected
houses and flats in the city centre are appealing to people with limited financial means, in spite
of the lack of upgrading. In addition, basements and cellars are being converted into actual
housing units.
The needs of the abovementioned people have triggered a new territorialisation of the historic
centre. It is yet to be determined to what extent this phenomenon has been contemplated and understood, and whether the rise of such a uniform social fabric should be construed as positive
for the general socioeconomic balance, of which the housing issue is only one of the factors.

Full textAbstract:
This paper seeks to ally the interdisciplinary frameworks offered by ‘Queer Ecology’ with an architectural inquiry to expand both fields. Queer theory alone offers scant discussions of material and architectural practices, while environmental discourse in architecture fails to address its role in ecological and social-political violence. A clothing-optional / cruising beach in rural Victoria, Sandy Beach also known as Somers Beach, exemplifies how the queer body’s navigation of space responds to complex ecological, urban, and social conditions. A queering of architectural definitions allows this site to be researched as a historically significant urban/architectural site of social and environmental value. It is suggested that the subtle yet complex practices of site transformations enacted through occupation are an architecture of environmental connective possibility. ‘Queered’ corporeality orientates the body and material practices towards assemblages where boundaries between humans and nature are transgressed, ultimately constituting a ‘queer ecological architecture’

This work discusses the importance of the site in the morphological structuring of urban centres. Studies on the implantation of the city of Belo Horizonte, located in the state of Minas Gerais Brazil, show that the occupation of the city occurred initially in the valleys. This was due to the favourable conditions of the topography, which allowed an orthogonal layout in the central area. In spite of this, since the city’s foundation, the most rugged areas have been occupied by favelas, whose layout differed from the dominant pattern. As flat areas became scarce, the hilly regions, possessing long strips of land, were also subdivided and exploited due to their substantially lower land prices. Although the favelas sprung up spontaneously and the new settlements were planned, both had similarities in the layout of the streets which were adjusted to the steep contours and the geological conditions of the terrain. At the same time, the plot defined another configuration in the subdivisions, in which the building was occupied by only a single family and, in most cases, the building was separated from the street by high walls. As a consequence, the relationship between public and private space became severely compromised. In the case of the favelas, the formal inexistence of the plot is demonstrated in the juxtaposition of the dwellings, in which each residence is constructed above another in extremely confined space. The relationship with the street also differs in these places, since the first floor often freely connects to the street, integrating the dwelling with the public space and thus contributing to the social life of the community. This is furthermore in contrast to the previously noted walled environments characterising planned areas. The analysis of these parameters could profitably be utilised in new designs that appropriate some of the popular solutions better suited to the environment, and in turn, integrate them into public policy.References: FERREIRA, M.

Full textAbstract:
It is a fact that the urban sprawl, known as the process of gradual spread out of urbanization has become a worldwide phenomenon. The growing consumption of land, as a result of the extension of highway networks, open up vast space of territory, which seems to have become an unstoppable cancer, and affects virtually all the contemporary metropolis.
The expansion of the cities had its origin in the model of suburban life, which began with the generalized use of the automobile. A lifestyle based on the "american dream‖, one single family-home, one (or more) car (s)." But it has been since late 70’s of the last century, when it has had a more dramatic development, as a consequence of the crisis of metropolitan areas linked to what, it is called Post-Fordism economy and some authors have characterized as counter-urbanization (Berry) desurbanization (Berg), edge-cities (Garreau) metapolis (Asher) or diffuse city (Indovina). Despite the diversity of urban development, the increasing consumption of land, the excessive use of land as a scarce resource, it is a constant in the urbanization process in the early twenty-first century.
The object of our contribution is to make an overwiew about urban sprawl in USA, Mexico and Spain. The use of technologies related to satellite imagery (remote sensing) allow the characterization of the phenomenon of consumption, pathological or not, of land. And this analysis suggests some hypothesis about the plurality of the contemporary urbanization processes. Roughly two models stand out: On one hand, urban development based on low densities, where the unsustainable consumption of land is presented as a paradigm of economic development and, on the other hand, an urban development with a compact city model, where recycling land, and not just increasing the consumption of land, is one of the key objectives of urban policies. The work presented here, suggests that in the second model seems to appear a change in the paradigm towards a more efficient and sustainable use of the territory.

Intelligent Speed Adaptive System (ISAS) is an emerging technology in the field of autonomous vehicles. However, the public acceptance rate of ISAS is drastically low because of several downfalls i.e. reliability and low accuracy. Various researchers have contributed methodologies to enhance the traffic prediction scores and algorithms to improve the overall adaptability of ISAS. The literature is scarce for Image Regression in this range of application. Computer vision has proved its iota in stream of object detection in self-driving technology in which most of the models are assisted through the complex web of neural nets and live imaging systems. In this article, some major issues related to the present technology of the ISAS and discussed new methodologies to get higher prediction accuracy to control the speed of vehicle through Image Regression technique to develop a computer vision model to predict the speed of vehicle with each frame of live images.

Full textAbstract:
In globalization ear, a large number of cities around the world are losing their features with the impact of powerful alien culture. Furthermore, China has been experiencing rapid urbanization. Full speed construction calls for the standardization instead of the uniqueness, which have brought threat to characteristics of cities. Homogeneous images of cities can be seen everywhere. Local cityscape, as the identity of the indigenous culture, is becoming increasingly scarce resource and competitive power for city in the field of global competition. Cities in China, who have realized the importance of history and culture in recent years, started to preserve and improve local cityscape by the tools of urban planning and design. Taking the historic urban quarters around the Daming Palace National Heritage Park as an example, the Cityscape Control Plan is researched as a method to preserve and optimize the cityscape in the historic area during the process of urban regeneration. The project is located in Xi’an, a megacity with more than 9.6 million population. Daming Palace used to be the imperial palace of the country in Tang Dynasty (AD634-896). Quarters around it has become a decayed area with squatter settlements nowadays. The municipality tries to bring in new opportunities for the area with a Cityscape Control Plan, which offers a possible solution to combine global and modern function with local and historic cityscape. Learning from the theories of city image, urban morphology and typology, the concept of cityscape and Cityscape Control Plan are defined theoretically. Secondly, an integral cityscape structure for the area is constructed and several spatial guidelines are created in terms of morphology，street interfaces, building heights, architectural styles, architectural colours, etc. All the guidelines are integrated and detailed to specific form codes for each blocks, which can be used as an administrative tool to restrict all the related construction activities. With these efforts, the historic features and innovative features are combined to identify a unique cityscape in this area, bring in a “glocal” (global-local) solution for the revitalizing of the historic mega city as Xi’an

Full textAbstract:
This summary reviews evidence on the urban flooding impact, risk factors, and management and mitigation measures in Lagos and other cities in Nigeria. Flooding is a common problem every year in many cities across Nigeria, but the impacts of flooding are poorly documented. There is no consistent set of statistics at a national or sub-national level that can be used to compare the impacts of flooding across cities, and reports that focus on particular flood events are often incomplete. The literature notes the principal factors contributing to flood risk including uncontrolled urban growth, inadequate and poorly-maintained drainage systems, solid waste management practices, weakness in institutional capacity and coordination, and warning systems and public awareness. The evidence base for flood impacts, risks, and mitigation efforts at the city level in Nigeria is limited, and much of the information available is low quality, inconsistent, or outdated. Many rely on surveys of city residents rather than objective empirical data, and some of these surveys appear to be poorly designed. A significant number of the academic publications available have been published in non-mainstream journals without the usual level of academic peer review. Recent information is scarce, and a significant amount of the available evidence dates from 2011 and 2012, which coincides with an episode of nationwide flooding that was among the worst in Nigeria’s history.

Full textAbstract:
Despite decades of interventions aiming to reduce child labour, children’s engagement with exploitative work remains widespread, particularly in South Asia. Emerging evidence about cash transfer programmes point towards their potential for reducing children’s engagement with work, but knowledge is scarce in terms of their impact on exploitative work and in urban settings. One component of the CLARISSA programme is to trial an innovative ‘cash plus’ intervention and to learn about its potential for reducing children’s harmful and hazardous work in two slum areas in Dhaka, Bangladesh. This Working Paper presents findings from a small-scale qualitative study that was undertaken in late 2019, aiming to inform the design of the cash plus intervention. Findings point towards the potential for cash transfers to reduce the need for children to engage in exploitative work and highlight key considerations for design and delivery, including mode and frequency of delivery and engagement with local leaders and community representatives.
