The River agreement in Italy. Resilient planning for the co-evolution of communities and landscapes
Author(s): Angioletta Voghera
More info: According to the “evolutionary” approach (Davoudi & Al., 2012), urban resilience implies that urban systems have capacity to react to several external disturbances - economic, social, environmental - regarding all components of urban governance and transforming itself in a new development model.
River basins are considered an interesting space for experimental workshop on resilience, as a driver of territorial policy, for ordinary communities and landscapes, where the relationship between the sustainable use of territorial resources could led to new territorial strategies, as well as “promote managements synergies” at different levels of regional and local planning.
River Agreements (RA) appear as an innovative governance method which can help in the drafting of potential plans and practices for the development of resilience in fluvial territories. It is a form of negotiated planning, that helps to involve social actors in order to: improve people’s knowledge of current territorial conditions and the effects of human activities; increase social awareness; include society in the identification and implementation of solutions; to encourage innovative changes in planning objectives and urban and architectural design, starting with the legal and planning framework of an Action Plan. Starting from the ‘80 s, RA were experimentally tested in Belgium and France and currently widespread also in Italy. In Piedmont Region (Italy), it is recognized as a successful territorial governance tool used to define shared strategies, measures, rules and projects. We will present the case study of the Sangone River Agreement as the first participate planning and design experience in Piedmont signed by local actors.

Resilienza
Author(s): Grazia Brunetta
More info: Resilienza – dall’etimo latino resilire che significa rimbalzare – è concetto antico, studiato e sviluppato in diverse discipline scientifiche, quali la fisica dei materiali, l’ingegneria, l’ecologia, la biologia, la psicologia, le scienze sociali, solo per citarne alcune. Dai diversi contributi disciplinari discende la polisemia del concetto che rimanda ad una definizione ampia, capace di mettere a fuoco una metafora efficace per analizzare i sistemi complessi.

Strutture medievali nelle analisi storiche per la pianificazione urbanistica di alcune città piemontesi
Author(s): Strutture medievali nelle analisi storiche per la pianificazione urbanistica di alcune città piemontesi
More info: Medieval structures in historical analyses preceding the urban planning of some Piedmontese citie...s The link between the operational commitment seen in historic planning analyses and academic considerations on the different ways of making the history of the city was one of the most hotly debated urban-development topics in Italy in the 1960s and 1970s. This paper examines the method and lexicon adopted by Vera Comoli to analyse the cities that were the focus of her first studies. In them, the interpretation of a significant and complex medieval stratification triggered significant choices for the formation of her method of investigation / La relazione tra l’impegno operativo nelle analisi storiche per la pianificazione e la riflessione accademica sui diversi modi di fare storia della città costituisce uno dei temi urbanistici più dibattuti nell’Italia degli anni sessanta e settanta. Nel contributo si analizzano il metodo e il lessico adottati da Vera Comoli nell’analisi delle città oggetto dei suoi primi studi, in cui l’interpretazione di una stratificazione medievale di notevole rilievo e complessità porta a compiere alcune scelte decisive nella formazione del suo metodo di indagine.

Measuring resilience for territorial enhancement: An experimentation in Trentino (Misurare la resilienza per la valorizzazione dei territori: Una sperimentazione in Trentino)
Author(s): Grazia Brunetta, Emma Salizzoni, Marta Bottero, Roberto Monaco, Vanessa Assumma
More info: Urban resilience - namely the capacity of a territorial system to persist, adapt or transform in the face of pressure - calls for an adaptive approach to planning, able to face uncertainty and unpredictability. Evaluation plays a key role to support a "learn-by-doing approach", providing tools and methods able to sustain the definition of territorial and landscape policies under a resilience perspective. The present article illustrates an experimentation developed on a real-world case study in Trentino Region. In particular, the paper describes an integrated model aimed at providing an overall evaluation of the territory under examination, by means of multidimensional indicators and synthetic indexes useful to support planning and management processes
