URBAN REGENERATION
Rethinking urban areas
Monday 19th November
2.00 – 6.00 p.m.
Salone di Rappresentanza, Palazzo Tursi
Introduction
Cities live and transform themselves following the changes of the world they live in. The asset that developed from the industrial revolutions, that in the urban setting meant an ungoverned demographic growth and the occupation of spaces by productive structures and services, led the cities all over the world to find new ways to convert themselves to the new economic era of services, “smart” industries and new social and cultural phenomena.
The private initiative is applied to requalification projects over specific areas, where an economic return in the short term is expected. In the majority of cases, the process has to be presided and stimulated to regenerate an area from its foundation. Demolish and reconstruct buildings and infrastructures is not enough, it is required a new approach that bears in mind the mobility needs of people and goods, the environmental conditions of the territory and the settlement needs, either residential or industrial.
The session will analyze the numerous regulations that stimulate and administrate the urban regeneration, from a general to a particular point of view, bringing some case histories of excellence, focusing also on the Genoese case, where the possible and desirable regeneration interventions are even more crucial than the unavoidable ones, due to recent disastrous events.
