Derelict places as “alternative” territories of the city
No full textIn her paper “Derelict places as alternative territories of the city” Silvia
Serreli discusses some alternative territories of the city not directly
linkable with the dense metropolis. The experiences illustrated by means
of the concepts of peripherality and proximity offer interesting departure
points for in-depth study of the urban perspectives for non core-areas in
particular.
The crisis processes involving derelict sites are not connected with their
being “small” realities, but with being “isolated” places, far from the
“sources of knowledge creation and transfer”. Situations in peripheral areas
are also investigated, by means of the concept of re-urbanity, in which
new ways of inhabiting are found which shape new spatialities. These are
places where the great tension between the different urban populations, be
it the long-standing residents or the neo-rural in-migrant populations, has revealed new socio-spatial dynamics which highlight significant emerging
practices of the city.
The approach towards new scenarios of territoriality is highlighted by
the author through certain requisites of the project: the environment is the
strategic nucleus of space organisation perspectives and growth of
economies; the environmental structure guides and directs localisation and
organisation of settlement systems and activities; local societies need
urban motivation and environmental awareness. In particular, attention is
drawn to how urban motivation may be produced in the project through the
use of narratives which give voice to territorial subjectivity and put the
social actors in a position to express their values and expectations. The
narrative approach offers itself as one of the modalities of selfrepresentation
of a local society, as it constitutes the exploration of
representations of trajectories that favour recognition of the plural
dimensions of a territory

No full textPlaces for leisure as interactive spaces of the city,
No full textLeisure has thus taken on strong urban importance. The geographies of leisure, in its various senses, are explored by the author as important parts of contemporary spatial experience. It is emphasised how some places have become themed environments produced and transformed to be “consumed”, but also how leisure has favoured new forms of social interaction around new reference spaces that seem to cause a crisis for the traditional centralities of cities. In this sense leisure is interpreted as an expression of the power of production and subjectivisation, but also as an opportunity to construct urban perspectives and different forms of “resistance”.
Particular attention is paid to the situations in which leisure and tourism activities reveal micropolitics and change tactics, promoted by the forms and modalities of interaction of the different social groups that give these spaces of entertainment and leisure a meaning.
Departing from a reflection on the effects generated by place marketing in the Øresund region of Scandinavia, territorial competition processes are dealt with which, through programmes directed at leisure activities, put on the same level strategies to hold inhabitants, to attract companies of the creative industries, as well as catalyse visitor flows. But these policies often create “imaginative space”, spaces where technological skill in creating hyper-real environments is evident, to which the reality of the inhabitants does not correspond
City Project. Public Space
No full textThe book aims at nurturing theoretic reflection on the city and the territory and working out and applying methods and techniques for improving our physical and social landscapes. The main issue is developed around the projectual dimension, with the objective of visualising both the city and the territory from a particular viewpoint, which singles out the territorial dimension as the city’s space of communication and negotiation. Issues that characterise the dynamics of city development will be faced, such as the new, fresh relations between urban societies and physical space, the right to the city, urban equity, the project for the physical city as a means to reveal civitas, signs of new social cohesiveness, the sense of contemporary public space and the sustainability of urban development. Authors have been invited to explore topics that feature a pluralism of disciplinary contributions studying formal and informal practices on the project for the city and seeking conceptual and operative categories capable of understanding and facing the problems inherent in the profound transformations of contemporary urban landscapes
