The Challenge of Urban Resilience: Operationalization

Urban resilience is a structural property of urban systems and it is related to their capacity to... continually self-organising and adapt in the face of ongoing and unpredicted changes and risks. Although academic debate on urban resilience is deeply understood, several methodological challenges remain both related to the theoretical and the practical domain of the concept. Operationalizing resilience is arguably one of the most impactful global issues for the future research as it implies to link the concept about what urban resilience is and what urban resilience ought to be.

Integrating landscape in regional development: A multidisciplinary approach to evaluation in Trentino planning policies, Italy

The systematic integration of landscape dimension into general and sector-focused planning policies is one of the European Landscape Convention crucial points. This aspect is still poorly implemented in Italy, where landscape is often conceived as a field of action separate from the territorial context.

Hybrid simulation techniques in the structural analysis and testing of architectural heritage

This thesis examines the development of the concept of structural modelling of architectural heritage, from the first historic experiences on physical models, passing through milestones such as the model corroboration and updating, for finally proposing novel hybrid simulation and testing procedures for use in the field of architectural heritage. Model corroboration techniques are known to be a powerful tool to adjust a predictor, be it analytical or numerical (e.g.
