Risk Economy: water sensitive urban regeneration. In Urbanistica E’/E azione pubblica. La responsabilità della proposta. Atti della XX Conferenza Nazionale SIU-Società Italiana degli Urbanisti. p. 1265-1273, Roma-Milano: Planum Publisher In questo articolo sono riportati i risultati di una ricerca condotta dallo scrivente presso il Dipartimento di Architettura dell’Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II nell’ambito del Progetto di ricerca “METROPOLIS - Metodologie e Tecnologie integrate e sostenibili per l’adattamento e la sicurezza dei sistemi urbani”, finanziato con fondi PON Ricerca e Competitività 2007-2013 e mediante le convenzioni di supporto scientifico contratte con alcuni comuni della Città Metropolitan di Napoli. La tesi è che, al pari di quanto è stato ormai dimostrato dal punto micro-climatico e della domanda energetica, esiste una correlazione diretta tra il fabbisogno di smaltimento di acque meteoriche in una determinata area ed il suo assetto tipo-morfologico. In particolare, con un margine di errore accettabile, è possibile considerare sostanzialmente costante l’apporto idraulico specifico alla rete di drenaggio all’interno di ogni ambito urbano omogeneo identificabile nella città. Ne deriva che, studiando nel dettaglio un frammento di tale ambito, se ne possono estenderne le qualità idrauliche superficiali all’intera area ad esso omogenea. Il modello di calcolo semplificato conseguente a tale osservazione permette all’urbanistica di supportare in modo più efficace gli amministratori locali nella definizione delle strategie ottimali di investimento dei fondi destinati alla sicurezza urbana. Pertanto, con chiara cognizione quali-quantitativa, potrà consigliare di dirottare tali fondi verso soluzioni di Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) in grado di affiancare ai prefissati obbiettivi di resilienza un efficace miglioramento della qualità urbana

AbstractL’istituzione della città metropolitana di Napoli, terza in ordine dimensionale ma prima per densità abitativa, è stata sin dall’inizio accompagnata da turbolenze politico amministrative che si sono riverberate sia sul dibattito circa la dimensione territoriale sia sull’organizzazione e gestione del neonato Ente.Il dibattito locale si è principalmente incentrato sulle relazioni tra capoluogo e provincia che, nel caso napoletano, hanno enfatizzato l’insoddisfazione che il mondo intellettuale ha manifestato nei confronti della Legge Delrio. Ciò, in particolare, laddove ha lapidariamente liquidato la questione dei limiti territoriali alla coincidenza con i confini amministrativi provinciali, superando così, in pochi righi di norma, l’innumerevole quantità di studi e congetture che, sull’argomento, avevano conseguito la Legge 142/1990.La città di Napoli giunge all’appuntamento metropolitano dopo un ventennio di declino, demografico ed economico-sociale, spesso proprio a vantaggio della sua stessa provincia che, dopo aver subito il ruolo di spazio dormitorio ha cominciato ad accogliere manifatture e altre attività produttive, a dotarsi di un sistema di attrezzature ed infrastrutture in grado di limitarne la dipendenza dal capoluogo.
Ciclo Riciclo ed Orti Urbani

Moccia, (ed.) Città senza petrolio (pp. 211-218). Napoli, IT: Edizioni Scientifiche Italiane Waste management is an issue which several technical, technological but also social and cultural factors contribute to make complex, while the concentration of waste production in big cities mainly gives it an urban and metropolitan dimension. Remarkable difficulties can be found in the scarce motivation of the citizens to actively participate in the process of trash separation and collection as well as in the dislike they feel towards the systems and facilities dedicated to waste processing. This article reports a research on this subject carried out at the University of Naples thanks to a scientific cooperation agreement with the Dutch multinational company Còrio. The verified thesis showed the existence of a close relationship between direct and tangible motivations and the users’ attitude to trash separation: the results were significantly above those expected to be obtained through coercive methods or, even worse, through the promise of an abstract general benefit. The above-mentioned research also brought to the implementation of a prototype made up of a playful but at the same time educational urban vegetable garden of around 800 sq m with a virtuous management system of organic household waste. The experiment, named Orto in Campania, showed the real effectiveness of the proposed solutions with a strong motivational value for the citizens’ involvement but also the mutability of it both in well-established and in new urban areas. The success was so huge that this installation, intended as temporary, is still on plane after more than five years

L'illuminazione della città. In F.D. Moccia, Urbanistica. Interpretazioni e processi di cambiamento (pp. 341-360). Napoli, IT: Clean Edizioni. AbstractIl rapporto tra il sistema di illuminazione e la fruizione dello spazio assume, nel caso delle aree aperte al pubblico, un ruolo di primaria importanza rispetto alla qualità reale e percepita del servizio offerto alla cittadinanza. La gestione della luce, infatti, impatta, in questo caso, sia sugli aspetti diretti connessi con la capacità dello spazio urbano di svolgere le funzioni per le quali è stato concepito, sia su quelli, che potremmo definire indiretti, di partecipare al livello complessivo della sicurezza urbana e della qualità estetica e sociale delle aree pubbliche.Negli ultimi anni, in concomitanza con la progressiva crescita della sensibilità collettiva agli aspetti della sostenibilità ambientale e soprattutto della compatibilità ecologica, la progettazione dell'illuminazione pubblica si è arricchita di nuovi obbiettivi, prima sconosciuti, riconducibili alle problematiche dell'inquinamento luminoso ed illuminotecnico, del risparmio energetico, del ricorso alle fonti energetiche rinnovabili ed eco-compatibili e, in epoca recentissima, dell’integrazione impiantistico-funzionale della città.In relazione a tali problematiche al progetto dell'illuminazione pubblica si richiedono almeno due tipi di ricadute: una volta alla concreta capacità funzionale di assolvere agli obbiettivi posti, l'altra, al pari di quanto, normalmente, dovrebbe accadere per ogni tipo di opera pubblica, riconducibile agli aspetti didattici dell'intervento e, in generale, alla capacità di incentivare, nei cittadini, la sensibilità e l'attenzione a determinati temi
From design to planning: The holistic approach of Water Sensitive Urban Planning

Leone (eds.), Environmental Design for Climate Change Adaptation. 2. Tools and Guidelines for Climate Risk Reduction (pp. 234-243). Napoli, IT: INU Clean. In recent years the issues of risks related to the management of surface waters have attracted the growing interest of scholars at various levels. On the regional scale we focus on extreme weather events with respect to the ability of the river basin to bear the impact without causing damage to the structures and infrastructures involved as well as victims in the population. On the urban scale, the theme mainly concerns pluvial flooding and the consequent problems that, although often less dramatic, are still relevant given their frequency and socio-economic impact.The interest of the scientific community to the problem follows the progressive exacerbation of episodes both in terms of frequency and hydraulic intensity. In fact, in numerous researches (Porporato et al., 2004; Dore, 2005; Burt et al., 2015) it has been observed that, excluding the desert areas, the quantity of rain that can be averagely measured in a given place during the year it remained almost constant. However, in recent decades, this tends to be concentrated in a few events particularly intense and with a distinctly stormy character.This paper summarizes the review of the BMPs developed by the scientific community at the urban scale evaluated with respect to the hydraulic qualities but above all the effects in socio-economic and ecological terms. In the Metropolis project this review formed the basis for the construction of the strategies implemented in different design prototypes in order to verify the thesis according to which the Water Sensitive Urban Planning approach allows to reach the objective resilience but with a significant impact on the urban quality of the settlemen
Dal consumo di suolo alla Risk Economy. Politiche espansive per una diversa crescita

Urbanistica Informazioni, 278(SI), 131-137. Il richiamo alle esigenze di limitare il consumo di suolo, lo spreco di risorse, di affermare la sostenibilità degli insediamenti, in alcuni luoghi ha prodotto, da parte della burocrazia, quello che potremmo definire un approccio proibizionista. Limitare se non azzerare la possibilità di trasformazione; limitare se non annullare la possibilità di insediare nuovi alloggi costituiscono, in ultima analisi, la prevalente, se non l’unica, pseudo strategia di protezione ambientale. E ciò, oltretutto, avviene con tagli lineari del fabbisogno stimato, prescindendo da ogni considerazione che vada al di là della semplice esigenza di non scontentare nessuno in particolare.In questo articolo, presentando alcuni risultati del Progetto di Ricerca INTENSSS PA (Programma Quadro dell’Unione Europea per la Ricerca e l’Innovazione HORIZON2020) si evidenzia che l’Austerity in campo urbanistico non costituisce una politica immune da effetti controversi se non palesemente controproducent

Bollettino Del Centro Calza Bini, 16(1), 155-175. doi: 10.6092/2284-4732/4121 AbstractIn this article, in reporting the results of a study, we try to show that a collective approach is now essential to the needs of maintenance. The thesis is: that the global economic crisis has quicken the evidence that the city model gradually emerged, with a difficult internal changes if it is going beyond the regeneration of the interstitial spaces, is incompatible with an idea of separation between public and private competences strictly coincident with the edge of the property; that, in the moment in which the facade is no longer the simple bark of a personal function becoming a piece of a collective mosaic, becoming a part of that common good which is beauty, culture, identity, quality, balance, order and art of the city, the it competes to the public, for its share of property, to provide to maintenance and enhancement.
