    No full text
    Questo capitolo discute come partecipazione politica e lavoro accademico fossero due dimensioni inseparabili in Alberto Tulumello. La ricerca indirizzava l'iniziativa politica e le forniva i contenuti. L'attività politica, a sua volta, poneva le domande e i problemi che stimolavano il lavoro di ricerca. Il capitolo in particolare discute la riflessione di Tulumello in relazione a Douglas North e Albert Hirschman

    Foreword: Fear, Space and Urban Planning. A Critical Perspective from Southern Europe

    No full text
    The article introduces the book Fear, Space and Urban Planning. A Critical Perspective from Southern Europe by S. Tulumello highlighting that the intention and the value of this book is to foreground the more opaque instances of fear in the urban dimension, opaque, i.e. from a mainstream or media perspective, the instances which do not make the news or are taken for granted as part of the routine of public debates. In order to do so, the author adopts a critical perspective on fear and urban planning, raising significant issues and questions about a wider range of theoretical implications and drawing on his research and his experience of living in Southern Europe

    Digital mediated short-term rentals in the (post-)pandemic city

    In this section, we reflect, both empirically and speculatively, on the perspectives for STRs and related digital platforms in the (post-)pandemic city, on the grounds of early signals of change in relation to spatial justice and institutional arrangements. The discussion is opened by Tulumello and Cocola-Gant, who, by investigating the case of Lisbon, Portugal, reflect on the flexible nature of platforms vis-a`-vis the (neoliberal) cloud of de- and re-regulation in housing and rental markets, discussing how this intersection allows STRs to adapt and succeed, also during the pandemic. Similarly, Iacovone explores the professionalisation of platform-mediated STRs and their adaptability to increasingly more flexible and malleable requests from the market – dimensions that allow them to successfully outcompete smaller actors. Finally, Pettas and Dagkouli–Kyriakoglou, by focusing on the case of Athens, Greece, discuss the ways STRs could be transformed into housing infrastructure for remote workers in connection to the restructuring of the post-pandemic labour market

    The essay discusses the relationship between local development and the process of European integration. Two main themes are dealt with: 1) the growing importance of the small firm system in Italy after the crisis of the Fordist model during the 1970s and 2) the successful experience of the 1990s when local development became integrated into the more general framework of European Economic policies

    Report WS6: Immigration and new inhabitants in the Gateway Cities

    No full text
    It is in the last years that the planning discipline has fully recognized immigration issues as decisive for their role both in the urban studies and in the policy design. Nowadays, in Italy and Europe, the shifting social composition of the cities asks the planner for new cognitive instruments and new strategies for the interventions on urban systems. The present report resumes the results of the workshop “Immigration and new inhabitants in the gateway cities” which took place inside the IX Biennial of Towns and Town Planners of Europe, held in Genoa in September 2011. In the two days of debate, a number of Italian and European examples has been presented: the report underlines three issues about immigration and the city which emerged from the presentations: the role and the methods of public policy interventions, the absence of policies and institutional vacuum, the micro-scale effects of the presence of immigrant people. The debate has clearly showed how Italy is pinpointed by a great variety of policies and practices, arising by a fragmented and not yet clear institutional frame about immigration regulations. At the same time, some examples have described processes connected with absence of institutional actors: in the total absence of public interventions different phenomena arise. Within such a context, sometimes natives and immigrants are able to develop their own capacities to face the lack of services and residences. In conclusion, the issues emerged during the workshop questions about the challenges for urban planning. In an institutional context where the recognition of the citizenship is an issue far to be solved for large portions of immigrant populations, the challenge for urban planning can be resumed as that of finding local levels of access to the public space, to be intended both as a “physical” and a social one. Can planning and local policies act “social” in a context where national and communitarian laws just face immigration fluxes as economical ones

    Introduzione: Verso una geografia del cambiamento

    No full text
    Nel 2008 usciva I tempi e i luoghi del cambiamento. Lo sviluppo locale nel Mezzogiorno d’Italia, ultima monografia di Alberto Tulumello. Mentre esplodeva la crisi finanziaria, poi divenuta economica, Tulumello portava a sistema un lungo lavoro sulle dinamiche politiche ed economiche del meridione italiano. La conclusione di quel ciclo era allo stesso tempo l’inizio di un percorso intellettuale che iniziava ad aprire a un campo di riflessione geograficamente, ma anche politicamente, più ampio: quello delle dinamiche di “cambiamento” nelle relazioni tra luoghi e scale molteplici. Un percorso interrotto nel 2012 dalla prematura scomparsa dello studioso. Dieci anni dopo questa raccolta di saggi torna a problematizzare e a riflettere su “cambiamento” e “sviluppo”, articolando tre scale geografiche: il Mezzogiorno d’Italia, il Sud d’Europa e il Mediterraneo. E lo fa mettendo in dialogo il lavoro di Tulumello con contributi provenienti da svariate discipline: dalla sociologia economica alla politologia e alla demografia, fino alla geografia umana e all’antropologia.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    Dal 1996 al 2003 l'economia del Mezzogiorno d'Italia cresce più di quella del Centro Nord. Già nel 2003 il corso positivo mostra segni di debolezza per poi spegnersi. Lo sviluppo locale sembra la causa del corso positivo. Il libro esplora anche le cause del blocco del dinamismo e ricorre ai Cultural Studies e al concetto di Orientalismo per tentare di dare una interpretazion
