Il divenire della disciplina urbanistica: il contributo di Alessandro Aurigi
No full textWith this volume - Conversations with TeMA - the Journal opens a new editorial line specifically dedicated to promoting and disseminating the discussion between worldwide researchers on specific issues concerning the contents, methods and timing of our work.
This first experience is dedicated to a deepening, in an interview formula, on the future of spatial planning in Italy both from a regulatory and technical-disciplinary perspective, also concerning what is happening in other countries. In line with the aims we had set, we decided to involve, in this first phase, both colleagues working in Italian universities and those working in foreign universities and research centres.

The interventions of the Italian Recovery and Resilience Plan: digitalization in cities
No full textStarting from the relationship between urban planning and mobility management, TeMA has gradually expanded the view of the covered topics, always following a rigorous scientific in-depth analysis. This section of the Journal, Review Notes, is the expression of a continuous updating of emerging topics concerning relationships among urban planning, mobility and environment, through a collection of short scientific papers. The Review Notes are made of five parts. Each section examines a specific aspect of the broader information storage within the main interests of TeMA Journal. This section of the Review Notes deals with the new frontiers of urban development through the lenses of the European program NextGenerationEU. In particular, this contribution deepens the topic of digitalization in urban areas within the framework of the Italian National Recovery and Resilience Plan. It provides an overview of the proposed reforms, strategies and interventions to boost the digital economy and digitalize public services within the urban context

Investigating the socio-spatial logic of historic urban areas through space syntax
No full textStarting from the Late Republican and First Imperial ages, the Roman Mediterranean has seen the development and transformation of urbanised areas due to the newly gained stability conferred by the so-called Pax Augusta. This phenomenon has significant consequences in transforming pre-existing urban structures and establishing a large number of newly founded urban areas. This study aims to address a gap in the existing literature by developing a method to analyse the configuration of historical urban sites to understand the social and cultural antecedents of the transformation and development of urban areas in the Roman era. The study builds on Space Syntax theories and techniques to develop an analytical protocol that combines syntactical analysis and statistical analysis to measure and compare spatial, visual and social relationships in four urban Roman sites in the Mediterranean. The selected areas of study are the urban sites of Nora and Cosa in Italy, of Timgad in Algeria and of Thuburbo Maius in Tunisia. The study areas include planned urban sites constituted by a grid structure (Cosa and Timgad) and cities with continuity of life (Nora and Thuburbo Maius) formed by an organic inspired spatial layout. The study significantly contributes to archaeology and urban studies by proposing a combination of methods that associates distinct analytical techniques to investigate the large-scale configurational properties of historical urban environments whose spatial structure and, therefore, social logic have been only partially explored
The city challenges and the new frontiers of urban planning
No full textThe exponential growth of the world population must deal with the limitedness of the planet and its resources. The challenge is even more difficult as by 2050 two-thirds of the world’s population will live in cities, urban ecosystems are becoming larger and more complex, and many other global challenges (climate, energy, health, ecological) require innovative answers in a very short time, with an integrated approach and in a medium-long and wide-ranging vision.
Within this complex framework: a multiple transition (digital, ecological, energy) is undelayable; the way of planning, designing, and managing cities is going through a phase of deep change; a new culture is emerging and spreading to improve informed and data-driven decision making.
Therefore, the article addresses the potential of new technologies, yet to be adequately explored in the fields of planning and design at different territorial scales, for better governance, sustainable development and quality habitats. It consists of three main sections, consistent with the methodology and the main steps of the ongoing research to which it refers. The first section focused on global challenges and on the potential of new technologies to make cities and territories more resilient and sustainable, in line with SDG 11 of UN 2030 Agenda. The second section addresses the theoretical aspects and implementation regarding the concept of urban resilience and the role of new digital technologies with reference to significant case studies in the EU panorama. The third and final section contains some concluding remarks on the limits and prospects of research for urban planning, territorial governance and management
Soil de-sealing for cities' adaptation to climate change
No full textIt is well known that extreme heat waves or weather events combined with the increased soil consumption and sealing processes are significantly affecting urban systems especially the most exposed and vulnerable. These urban challenges call for specific mitigation and adaptation actions; soil de-sealing (i.e., the removal of the impermeable surfaces for the purpose of increasing green areas and restoring soil ecosystem functions) may be one of the possible solutions. However, this urban practice, to have meaningful outcomes, would need widespread and systematic application in urban areas that can be pursued only if supported by innovative programming and planning tools based on the construction of in-depth knowledge frameworks on the permeability and vulnerability of urban soils.
In this regard, the paper aims to outline a methodological approach, supported by GIS technology, to map in detail urban public soils and identify priority areas to be depaved. In particular, the method assesses the permeability of public land in relation to hydraulic and heat island hazard exposure of potentially vulnerable urban systems. The methodological approach is applied on a pilot case in the city of Parma to verify its potential and criticalities, with the final objective of creating a replicable procedure
European cities and e-scooters at the crossroad
No full textStarting from the relationship between urban planning and mobility management, TeMA has gradually expanded the view of the covered topics, always following a rigorous scientific in-depth analysis. This section of the Journal, Review Notes, is the expression of a continuous updating of emerging topics concerning relationships among urban planning, mobility and environment, through a collection of short scientific papers. The Review Notes are made of four parts. Each section examines a specific aspect of the broader information storage within the main interests of TeMA Journal. In particular, the Urban Practices section aims at producing, analyzing and reporting data on recent and relevant policies in the urban domain. The present note analyses the complex relationships between European cities and electric scooters and reports on the case study of Paris where, in a recent non-binding referendum, Parisians opted overwhelmingly to ban e-scooters in the French capital. In doing so, the note tracks the roots of the current e-scooters expansion and reports on the massive deployment of 500,000 free-floating electric vehicles on the European streets (and sidewalks) operated by few private mobility companies in less than three years. After this, the note provides a focus on Paris, the city that pioneered electric scooters in Europe and that will likely take them off the street as of September 2023. The note concludes that the relationship between e-scooters and European cities is at a turning point and provides some suggestions to move forward
