Il capitolo introduce il volume che racconta gli esiti del progetto formativo, finanziato dal ban...do 2019 per le attività integrative di didattica e di formazione della Giunta del Collegio di Pianificazione e Progettazione del DIST del Politecnico di Torino. Il viaggio studio aveva l’obiettivo di attivare tramite la modalità learning- by-doing uno spazio di approfondimento conoscitivo sul tema della pianificazione per la città resiliente.

The concept of resilience has arisen as a “new way of thinking”. It was applied in planning at th...e end of the last century as a concept that encourages policies to face stress factors and react by renewing and innovating cities. Resilience becomes instrumental in addressing both causes and effects of significant global challenges. As it motivates the transformative potentials of cities, resilience is commonly named “co-evolutionary resilience” or, most recently, “transformative resilience”.

Due to the wide application of oil in industry, large amounts of petroleum hydrocarbons have been... annually released into the environment.
Legacy contamination and its interaction with other risks, continue impacting a new generation of residents in the fence-line communities.
The goal was to characterize the hydrocarbon pollution which could impact on the community living near to an oil plant. A Cuban oil

In Cuba, more than 50 % of the electricity generation capacity is based on small-scale distribute...d power plants, which
guarantee the energy supply-demand from fossil fuels. Several negative environmental impacts are associated with this,
including contamination by oily residuals. The purpose was to diagnose oily residuals management in Cubans distributed

In Europe, 70% of citizens live in urban areas and consume around 75% of the primary energy supply. In order to reduce the impact of energy consumption and improve the competitiveness of local energy systems, Energy Communities may help to address the challenges of urban sustainability and energy security through local energy production and self-consumption.

Green urban infrastructures have a significant impact on urban climate mitigation, on indoor and outdoor thermal comfort and on energy performance of buildings. In this paper, outdoor thermal comfort conditions and energy saving for space heating and cooling were investigated before and after the use of roof-integrated green technologies. Existing urban energy and climate models and tools were applied to an urban area located in a Turin (Italy).

Building energy-use models and tools can simulate and represent the distribution of energy consum...ption of buildings located in an urban area. The aim of these models is to simulate the energy performance of buildings at multiple temporal and spatial scales, taking into account both the building shape and the surrounding urban context.

One of the main problems concerning the field of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is the unavai...lability of data from different structural conditions. This is especially true for civil structures, where the collection of data from different damage states is often infeasible or economically inconvenient, particularly when dealing with architectural heritage structures.
