BIM and the construction sector have long been an inseparable pair: in many European Countries it is a consolidated practice while in others there is a big debate about it but. Although there are important signs of a turning point, it still does not seem to be really feasible. In Italy, the leverage for transformation is certainly the public works sector, but this is not enough: to really talk about a whole digitization of the AEC sector, it is necessary to “attract” the private sector, where more than 50% of investments are invested.

This paper introduces actual considerations for the progressive disuse of residential space in the Alpine territory, considering possible actions. Nowadays, the building complexes built around the 1960s and 1970s (a symbol of mass tourism) are suffering and searching for a new identity. The generation of owners who bought them has aged and the propensities of the new generations for holiday in those places has changed, which means fewer opportunities for leisure, particularly in the winter.

In recent decades, we have been witnessing on a planetary scale a weak or almost zero response capacity of the cities and territories to the events caused by the ongoing systemic dynamics of climate change. The significant effects of climate change are the result of the increasingly high temporal frequency of extreme natural phenomena and the greater vulnerability of soils, the result of the intense and growing dynamics of urbanization and the consequent fragmentation of natural environments.

This chapter aims to provide researchers different interpretative keys of the book, which attempt to propose methodologies, tools, and case studies to put resilience into action in post-pandemic territories by planning and design at different scales.

Let X be a random variable with distribution function F and let F_X be the family of proportional reversed hazard rate distribution functions associated to F. Given the random vector (X, Y) with copula C and respective marginal distribution functions F and G ∈ F_X, we obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of G ∈ F_X that minimizes E|X − Y |.

Given a multivariate random vector, Efron's marginal monotonicity (EMM) refers to the stochastic monotonicity of the variables given the value of their sum. Recently, based on the notion of total positivity of the joint density of the vector, Pellerey and Navarro (2021) obtained su cient conditions for EMM when the monotonicity is in terms of the likelihood ratio order. We provide in this paper new su cient conditions based on properties of the marginals and the copula.
