Il divenire della disciplina urbanistica: il contributo di Simona Tondelli
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.

RURITAGE - Rural regeneration through systemic heritage-led strategies
No full textThe main ambition of RURITAGE is the creation of an innovative rural regeneration paradigm based on Cultural and Natural Heritage, consolidating the role of culture as the fourth pillar of sustainable development and contributing to economic growth, social inclusion and environmental sustainability in rural areas. RURITAGE has identified 6 Systemic Innovation Areas, namely Pilgrimage, Resilience, Sustainable Local Food production, Integrated Landscape Management, Migration and Art & Festival, and 11 Cross-cutting Themes, which represent the ways in which cultural heritage acts as driver for regeneration of a rural area and its economic, social and environmental development.
The project involves 38 partners coming from 18 countries from Europe and Latin America
Il Piano casa da provvedimento emergenziale a misura strutturale della pianificazione urbanistica dell'Emilia-Romagna
No full textLa Regione Emilia-Romagna fin dall’inizio ha mostrato uno scarso interesse per lo strumento del cosiddetto Piano Casa. Il motivo di questa scelta risiede principalmente nella volontà di riportare quelle che venivano proposte come misure “straordinarie” per il rilancio dell’economia all’interno di un percorso ordinario di lungo periodo, volto a garantire il rinnovamento architettonico, energetico e sismico degli edifici in coerenza con le strategie del piano urbanistico comunale, anziché in deroga da esso. Tale impostazione è stata confermata e accentuata dall’approvazione della nuova legge urbanistica dell’Emilia-Romagna n. 24 del 2017, che, per disincentivare il consumo di suolo e promuovere la rigenerazione dei territori urbanizzati e il miglioramento della qualità urbana ed edilizia, introduce una disciplina legislativa e di piano che incentiva gli interventi di riuso e rigenerazione all’interno del territorio urbanizzato e disincentiva gli interventi in espansione. La scelta della Regione Emilia-Romagna di non prorogare il Piano Casa non va quindi intesa come un’opposizione alla necessità di promuovere l’attività edilizia, ma al contrario come il tentativo di agevolarla introducendo il concetto di premialità per gli interventi di qualificazione edilizia tra i principi fondamentali dell’urbanistica, ribadendo così la centralità del governo del territorio
La valorizzazione delle diversità nella pianificazione dell'Appennino bolognese
No full textLa centralità della montagna, che da sempre caratterizza le politiche della Regione Emilia-Romagna, assume nel territorio della Città metropolitana Bolognese un ruolo ancora più strategico. I recenti Piano Strategico Metropolitano 2.0 e Piano Territoriale Metropolitano si presentano come strumenti in grado di supportare il rilancio del territorio della montagna bolognese grazie alla capacità di compiere scelte precise rispetto ai temi e alle vocazioni del territorio, da governare e sostenere operando per geografie variabili, intervenendo in aree definite ed attribuendo all’Appennino un ruolo riconoscibile e caratterizzato all’interno della pianificazione metropolitana.
Essi si affiancano ad una serie di progetti che negli ultimi anni sono stati finanziati e incentivati sia “dall’alto”, attraverso l’attuazione del Programma per la Montagna della Regione e il convogliamento dei fondi europei e regionali, sia “dal basso”, con iniziative promosse in modo spontaneo dai Comuni, da associazioni e da privati. Il futuro del territorio della montagna bolognese si gioca ora nella capacità delle istituzioni e degli stakeholder locali di riuscire a trasformare le sfide derivanti dalla diffusione del Covid-19 in opportunità permanenti per il territorio, puntando sulla diversificazione degli interventi.
Interessante da questo punto di vista è il contributo del progetto H2020 RURITAGE che dentifica tre aree d'azione che possono contribuire a trasformare le sfide poste alle aree rurali dalla pandemia in opportunità per la crescita sostenibile delle aree interne: un'attuazione più efficace e coerente delle politiche, della legislazione e degli strumenti esistenti dal livello europeo a cascata fino al livello locale; la necessità di individuare, sostenere, integrare e migliorare le fonti di finanziamento tradizionali esistenti per le zone rurali; il miglioramento della conoscenza, inteso sia come rafforzamento della base di conoscenza delle politiche, sia come valorizzazione delle competenze locali attraverso attività dedicate di formazione. Secondo questo approccio, affinché si possa verificare una vera e propria rinascita delle aree rurali e montane, occorre innanzitutto di promuovere azioni di governance in grado di coinvolgere tutti gli attori (istituzioni, imprese, associazioni, enti di ricerca) e i cittadini, collegando le strategie regionali e i fondi strutturali, anche attraverso la ridefinizione della Smart Specialisation Strategy regionale 2021-27, attualmente in corso in Emilia-Romagna. Ciò non può avvenire senza un accurato processo di pianificazione, che garantisca, da un lato, il miglioramento dell’accessibilità sia fisica che digitale, e, dall’altro, l'accesso ai servizi di base (sanità, istruzione, accessibilità), incentivando azioni verso settori diverso da quello agricolo (arte e cultura, itinerari culturali, turismo culturale, coesione sociale, ecc.) e promuovendo le zone rurali e montane come luoghi multifunzionali in cui vivere, al di là delle tradizionali opportunità offerte dall’attività agricola.
Il contrasto agli effetti territoriali della pandemia riafferma così l’importanza del superamento di una visione gerarchica centro-periferia e urbano-rurale a favore di un coordinamento metropolitano rispettoso delle autonomie, in grado di riconoscere nelle diversità territoriali un valore per la definizione delle politiche di area vasta, con particolare riferimento alle caratteristiche e alle esigenze dei territori montani. Si ripropone quindi, attualizzato, il concetto di “città-territorio” bolognese prefigurato da Giordani (Giordani, 1963), secondo il quale “Bologna trasformandosi in città-territorio investe sempre più il suo hinterland, se urbanisticamente, si può e si deve evitare la diffusione a macchia d’olio è invece opportuna la diffusione, sempre più ampia e profonda, della città come entità culturale, socio-economica, amministrativa”
L’esperienza della VAS in Emilia-Romagna
No full textLa Vas, introdotta con la Direttiva 42/2001, è lo strumento principale per la progressiva implementazione del principio di sostenibilità nei piani e nei programmi, anticipato, in Emilia-Romagna, dall’introduzione nella legge urbanistica regionale n. 20/2000 della Valutazione della sostenibilità ambientale e territoriale dei piani (Valsat). Il presente contributo illustra sinteticamente le caratteristiche dei processi di valutazione ambientale strategica condotti in Emilia-Romagna, anche con riferimento alle modifiche normative a livello nazionale e al relativo recepimento regionale, dal punto di vista sia delle procedure, sia dei contenuti. In conclusione, si tracciano alcune considerazioni in merito all’efficacia delle pratiche di valutazione dei piani condotte in Emilia-Romagna dal 2000 ad oggi, nel tentativo di delineare alcuni indirizzi per una sua sempre più efficace implementazione

Compensazione e riequilibrio delle differenti opportunità riconosciute dalla realizzazione di infrastrutture stradali alle diverse realtà locali e degli oneri di tutela ambientale attraverso forme di perequazione territoriale
individuazione di un nuovo approccio basato sulla “re-internalizzazione territoriale ed ambientale” dei costi esterni, complementare a quello della “re-internalizzazione economica” degli stessi
Aree ferroviarie in Emilia Romagna: un patrimonio da sfruttare
No full textin Emilia-Romagna, urban planning is highly interested in abandoned rail yards due to their strategic role within the city. they are generally located in very central areas and are often easily accessible due to the presence of a railway station in the surroundings. as a result, they can heavily influence the regeneration of large blighted marginal urban sectors, while improving urban mobility by enhancing interchange and accessibility. this articles intends to outline the most significant transformations of railway areas located in the Emilia-Romagna region. despite a rather homogeneous framework of urban conditions, the result of the analysis highlights the very different outcomes in terms of the integration between transport and urbna functions and design strenght
Urban regeneration and sustainable communities: reflecting on energy-related roles, attitudes and responsibilities
Full text linkNowadays, the urban environment is considered to be a key player in the management of climate change related issues. Improving urban planning and design, providing affordable housing and lowering energy consumption are strategic points in the current debate on sustainable cities, as the inclusion of such topics in the Habitat III Urban Agenda approved in 2016 by United Nations clearly demonstrates.
With 70% of Europe’s 2050 housing stock already built, urban regeneration represents the key strategy to cope with the increasing demand of integrating sustainability principles in everyday life. When it comes to residential buildings, the fragmentation of housing properties – typical of South-East Europe countries – represents a critical obstacle to the implementation and scalability of regeneration practices. Social housing associations with their large stock portfolios, either individually or in partnership with others, are best playground to implement urban regeneration strategies, both combining interventions to the open space and the built environment. According to the EU Directives (European Commission, 2010; European Commission, 2012), public authorities have the obligation to lead the renovation process of their building stock and showcase an exemplary role. Considering the exclusive role of social housing providers in building management and the similarities in the regulations for providers, working with them and their tenants through information and training practices could easily lead to a multiplier effect.
Coherently with Urbact II programme (Czischke et al., 2015), the paper refers to the term urban regeneration as a set of regeneration actions, policies and processes within a city addressing interrelated technical, spatial and socio-economic issues towards the reduction of environmental impact, mitigation of environmental risk and improvement of environmental quality of urban systems, lifestyles and assets. Energy is considered to be a prominent driver to address urban regeneration (Gargiulo, Lombardi, 2016), mainly due to the availability of financial incentives to implement regeneration actions. It has been increasingly recognized that community-based initiatives, being adopted by an increasing number of energy efficiency programmes, have the potential to establish both ownership and acceptance of renovation measures, and responsibility for actions requiring a pro-environmental behaviour change. Such activities are able to achieve multiple benefits in the same environment, resulting in high level of awareness on risks and barriers to the effective transition to sustainable communities. The non-energy co-benefits are even more important in the social housing sector, where energy efficiency of buildings and fuel poverty only represents one aspect of a complex situation. Therefore, in order to guarantee the effectiveness and social acceptance of energy savings measures, a comprehensive approach is needed, diverting the attention from single interventions on housing stock to bottom-up approaches involving the local community and all the relevant stakeholders (Santangelo, Tondelli, 2017). By addressing the interrelationship among different actors through the definition of a decalogue of interventions, the paper focuses on energy as urban regeneration mainstream, exploring the benefits of sustainable community programmes towards urban regeneration and energy efficiency. In the conclusion, the predominance of energy-related interventions for the implementation of sustainable urban regeneration is questioned and further discussed
Circular Economy Policies in the European Framework: a Focus on the Construction Sector
No full textResource scarcity and climate change are two of the biggest challenges of our times. The concentration of greenhouse gas is rising steadily since the Industrial Revolution, leading to an average global temperature that is higher and higher and we are consuming resources for 1.75 planet. The construction sector is one of the main responsible of the emissions and therefore is object of great attention from policy makers and academia aiming at finding innovative solutions to cut emission of this sector that, alone, is responsible of the 40% of greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the construction and demolition waste accounts for the 35.9% of the total waste, representing the largest category. Circular economy is seen as an opportunity to thrive and tackle climate change, fostering a new model of economy that overcomes the linear process of “take-make-dispose”, which is the basis of the current economic system. Indeed, circular economy aims at implementing thriving systems without continuing with the consumption of the finite resources, but eliminating the concept of waste and pollution, maintaining products and materials in loop at their highest value and regenerating nature. Circular economy principles have been applied to the construction sector, trying to overcome the focus on energy efficiency of building and widening the perspective to embrace the whole life cycle in the discourse. However, an holistic vision is still missing.
The purpose of this contribution is to explore and present the policies related to the circular economy at European level, starting from the first circular economy action plan enacted in 2015 and going towards the current European Green Deal and the new circular economy action plan. Through the implementation of the first action plan, many interesting results have been achieved, such as the first monitoring system available at EU level and the European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform, a collaborative network of stakeholders. In addition, the partnership on Circular Economy of the Urban Agenda has developed a framework for cities to implement actions and integrate circular economy principles pursuing the objectives of better regulations, better knowledge and better funding. Moving from a strategic to a regulative framework, a European directive does not exists targeting the construction sector since the building stock and the climate conditions vary significantly across EU. However, the Level(s) framework has been developed and tested, representing a common EU framework of core sustainability indicators for office and residential buildings. Level(s) framework inspired already many regulations that are in force in some Member States, and the Italian case of the minimum environmental criteria is presented. Lastly, the manuscript presents the circular building toolkit, as an interesting case study for the implementation of the circular economy principles to the construction sector
Embedding energy user's behaviour into multi-criteria analysis: providing scenarios to policy-makers to design effective renovation strategies of the housing stock
No full textNowadays, policy-makers are facing the challenge to design and implement effective housing renovation strategies both for the public and the private housing stock, able to support not only the technical and physical renovation, but also a change of paradigm in energy consumption. Indeed, energy transition takes place on a local level and needs to involve individuals. The importance of tackling behaviour change to improve energy efficiency, especially in case of building retrofit, is increasingly recognised, as well as the urgency to combine the renovation of the housing stock with informative and feedback strategies, in order to reduce the gap between expected and actual energy consumption. The paper presents a methodology based on multi-criteria assessment of different strategies, aiming at providing support to policy-makers for their decisions concerning the reduction of energy consumption in buildings. The methodology has been designed to explicitly incorporate the impact of user’s behaviour into the planning strategies and renovation measures to be assessed. Through the development of a multi-criteria analysis based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), this study demonstrates that, to increase the sustainability of cities and communities, a holistic approach is required, and considerations on citizens’ behaviour need to be embedded into energy renovation policies to address energy reduction targets
