Oltre il futuro: emergenze, rischi, sfide, transizioni, opportunità // Beyond the future: emergencies, risks, challenges, transitions, and opportunities
No full textThe Covid-19 emergency, albeit in different ways and measures, is changing habits and use of places and cities globally. In many cities, public spaces have become completely empty for months and new urban landscapes have replaced the old ones, transforming the private into the public. Their reopening took place after months of closure, allowing again "live" social interactions, while respecting the physical distance, confirming the importance for all the people of these places.
At the same time, in contemporary territories it is increasingly happening that different types of crises occur simultaneously, making the resolution of difficult urban conditions complex as the different risks overlap, involving social, economic, environmental, health and liveability issues.
Furthermore, every place is different and has its own peculiarities, thus requiring different times and methods to deal with crises, just as the risks are also different from each other, requiring a different resilience. To achieve sustainable adaptation and regeneration of places affected by multiple risks, in accordance with the principles of the New Urban Agenda of Quito 2016 and the 17 SDGs of the 2030 Agenda, it is important to address and communicate these issues from many and integrated points of view.
If on the one hand, therefore, the challenges that are emerging in this scenario require more integrated and flexible interventions, on the other hand it is necessary to identify the different interrelations between the disciplines in this transition phase in order to be able to propose, beyond the future, new and more adequate forms and tools for the territorial project.
The Inu Study Day intends to tackle these issues by capturing not only emergencies, risks, challenges, transitions, but also, in perspective - beyond the future in fact -, opportunities.
To discuss these issues, the Study Day identified 16 main issues that make up the parallel sessions: Post-pandemic cities: new subjects, management, opportunities, futures of contemporary spaces; Risks: resilience, adaptation, climate challenges and green solutions; Sustainability: Agendas, Sustainable Goals, principles, regulations, assessments and regulations; Recovery Plans: projects and programs between opportunities and risks; Flexibility: design and plan unpredictability; Between social and environmental fragility: which spaces for urban planning ?; Mixed infrastructures: green, blue, gray, new overlaps and ecological transition; Natural capital: sustainable defense, use, enhancement, management; Regeneration and public spaces: new needs for urban liveability and healthiness; Post-disaster reconstruction: integrated planning, new techniques and technologies, social rebalancing; 360 ° accessibility: integrated mobility, social inclusion, multi-scaling and interactive technologies; Cultural Heritage: historic centers, enhancement and new ways of using them; Tourism: new needs, new destinations and ways of visiting; New technologies for the territory: networks, smart cities, artificial intelligence, robots, drones; Ecopolies and Ecoregions: visions, models and policies, for cities and territories, beyond global crises; Teaching urban planning: new methods and directions.
These issues, as can be read from the articles that follow, will be presented with a particular look at current issues, paying attention to the challenges that contemporary territories are posing to scholars, but also to administrators, professionals, citizens.
Special sessions and round tables are added to the scheduled sessions; if the former, as will be seen from the contributions published in this issue, are intended to further specify the themes proposed by the topic of the Study Day, the round tables propose questions to ask and issues to discuss.
Multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity of the issues will be factors that can be deduced from the authors of the articles that include not only urban planners, but also architects, historians, economists, jurists, environmentalists.
The outcomes of the overall debate that will emerge from the various sessions and round tables during the Conference, as well as the keynote speakers - Janet Askew, President of ECTP-CEU, Simin Davoudi, Professor of Town Planning, Newcastle University, and Gert De Roo, Head of the Department of Spatial Planning and Environment, University of Groningen, will be published in a post-conference book to give back to the INU community and to all those interested in various ways in urban planning issues a broad contribution to the debate on particularly current issues
Riterritorializzare i distretti. Bilanci e prospettive della pianificazione distrettuale
No full textIl testo propone un contributo alla comprensione del fenomeno dei distretti industriali con riferimento ai processi di pianificazione nel contesto territoriale regionale. Nella congiuntura critica dell’economia italiana si sono levate molte profezie di morte dei distretti industriali. Una serie di sfide ne minacciavano la
prosperità e andavano a incidere sui punti deboli della
loro capacità competitiva, anche in relazione alle forti
pressioni dei paesi emergenti nel processo di
globalizzazione. In questa morsa i distretti hanno
trovato alcuni modi per reagire e sono riusciti a
trovare percorsi di cambiamento. Il testo propone un originale contributo alla
comprensione del fenomeno dei distretti industriali
con specifico riferimento ai processi di organizzazione
e pianificazione del distretto nel contesto territoriale
regionale, dando conto di una indagine condotta,
prevalentemente da studiosi di territorio, all’interno
di quelle Regioni che – seppur con procedure, modi e
risultati differenti – hanno formalmente riconosciuto i
distretti industriali (Lombardia, Piemonte, Friuli-
Venezia Giulia, Veneto, Liguria, Toscana, Marche,
Lazio, Abruzzo, Sardegna, Campania, Basilicata e
Puglia).The text proposes a contribution to the understanding of the phenomenon of industrial clusters with reference to the processes of planning in the context of regional territorial. In the critical juncture of the Italian economy have been raised many prophecies of the death of the industrial districts.

Editorial: Advances and Current Challenges in Calcium Signaling Within the Cardiovascular System
No full textTowards Novel Geneless Approaches for Therapeutic Angiogenesis
No full textCardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Such a widespread diffusion makes the conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels a primary medical and economic burden. It, therefore, becomes mandatory to identify effective treatments that can alleviate this global problem. Among the different solutions brought to the attention of the medical-scientific community, therapeutic angiogenesis is one of the most promising. However, this approach, which aims to treat cardiovascular diseases by generating new blood vessels in ischemic tissues, has so far led to inadequate results due to several issues. In this perspective, we will discuss cutting-edge approaches and future perspectives to alleviate the potentially lethal impact of cardiovascular diseases. We will focus on the consolidated role of resident endothelial progenitor cells, particularly endothelial colony forming cells, as suitable candidates for cell-based therapy demonstrating the importance of targeting intracellular Ca2+ signaling to boost their regenerative outcome. Moreover, we will elucidate the advantages of physical stimuli over traditional approaches. In particular, we will critically discuss recent results obtained by using optical stimulation, as a novel strategy to drive endothelial colony forming cells fate and its potential in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
I nuovi soggetti della pianificazione
No full textQuesto libro fornisce contributi essenziali a tutti
coloro che si occupano di pianificazione paesistica,
urbanistica, partecipativa, strategica, di sviluppo,
infrastrutturale e per le pari opportunità. La prima pubblicazione di Atti di una Conferenza
Nazionale della Società Italiana degli Urbanisti,
affronta il tema dei soggetti della pianificazione,
individuato come uno dei più significativi fattori di
cambiamento di questo momento. In diversi settori
della disciplina – dalla pianificazione paesistica a
quella strategica – e secondo diversi approcci, in
maniera più viva o con tratti più impliciti, si forma un
ampio ed aggiornato quadro del ruolo dei soggetti e
della loro interazione con le teorie e le pratiche. Si
commentano e si propongono piani e processi di
pianificazione a diverse scale, per principi applicati e
metodi seguiti, evidenziando l’influenza della
pianificazione europea e degli stili partecipativi,
seguendo l’evoluzione dell’urbanistica comunale verso
nuove forme di piano e l’affermarsi, anche a questa
scala, della pianificazione strategica. Infine si riflette e
si articolano criteri di rifondazione dei principi
basilari della legittimazione dell’urbanistica con
particolare riferimento al tema dell’interesse
