New Metropolitan Perspectives
This book presents the outcomes of the symposium “NEW METROPOLITAN PERSPECTIVES,” held at Mediterranea University, Reggio Calabria, Italy on May 26–28, 2020. Addressing the challenge of Knowledge Dynamics and Innovation-driven Policies Towards Urban and Regional Transition, the book presents a multi-disciplinary debate on the new frontiers of strategic and spatial planning, economic programs and decision support tools in connection with urban–rural area networks and metropolitan centers. The respective papers focus on six major tracks: Innovation dynamics, smart cities and ICT; Urban regeneration, community-led practices and PPP; Local development, inland and urban areas in territorial cohesion strategies; Mobility, accessibility and infrastructures; Heritage, landscape and identity;and Risk management,environment and energy. The book also includes a Special Section on Rhegion United Nations 2020-2030. Given its scope, the book will benefit all researchers, practitioners and policymakers interested in issues concerning metropolitan and marginal areas.
New Metropolitan Perspectives
The book aims to face the challenge of post-COVID-19 dynamics toward green and digital transition, between metropolitan and return to villages’ perspectives. It presents a multi-disciplinary scientific debate on the new frontiers of strategic and spatial planning, economic programs and decision support tools, within the urban–rural areas networks and the metropolitan cities. The book focuses on six topics: inner and marginalized areas local development to re-balance territorial inequalities; knowledge and innovation ecosystem for urban regeneration and resilience; metropolitan cities and territorial dynamics; rules, governance, economy, society; green buildings, post-carbon city and ecosystem services; infrastructures and spatial information systems; cultural heritage: conservation, enhancement and management. In addition, the book hosts a Special Section: Rhegion United Nations 2020-2030. The book will benefit all researchers, practitioners and policymakers interested in the issues applied to metropolitan cities and marginal areas.

Artificial Intelligence and Economics: the Key to the Future
This book aims to deal with the main advances in the study of artificial intelligence, the digital and circular economy and innovation from a multidisciplinary perspective. Whoever governs the artificial intelligence will hold the keys to the world and the future. This consideration explains the growing role of artificial intelligence in our lives and the need to understand its mechanisms. This book presents original research articles addressing various aspects of artificial intelligence applied to economics, law, management, and optimization. The topics discussed include, economics, territorial policies, law, resource allocation strategies, information technology, and learning for inclusion. Combining the input of contributing professors and researchers from Italian and other foreign universities, the book is of interest to students, researchers, and practitioners, as well as members of the public in general, interested in the world of the artificial intelligence and economics.
Technological Imagination in the Green and Digital Transition
This open access book addresses the pressing need for sustainability in urban development and the use of technology, with cities to serve as the main stage for strategies that seek to meet the targets and the cross-sector priorities indicated in the EU’s Next Generation program, all in pursuit of a solid recovery on the part of the European economy, along lines of ecological transition, digitalization, competitiveness, training, and inclusion to overcome social, territorial, and gender differences. The international study encounter is meant to promote visions shared by architectural technology and other disciplines, which, though they may appear to differ, are closely interconnected, with the aim of achieving an open, interdisciplinary integration capable of proposing concrete projects regarding topics held to be of strategic importance to the future of the built environment. These are identified to draw up evolving scenarios of architecture and cities suited to reflection, at various levels, on innovative models of process and product.
Modern Engineered Bamboo Structures
Fast-growing and local to some of the poorest communities in the tropics and subtropics, bamboo holds huge potential for climate change mitigation, innovative construction and job creation, but the material is rarely used for more than simple construction and household use. Modern Engineered Bamboo Structures collects the papers presented at the third International Conference on Modern Bamboo Structures (ICBS2018, Beijing, China, 25-27 June 2018). The overarching theme of the book is ‘Enhancing Cooperation for Green Development through Bamboo’s Contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals’. The contributions focus on how to realize bamboo’s huge potential in a number of areas: sustainable commodity production, disaster-resilient construction, poverty alleviation, climate change mitigation and adaptation, land restoration and biodiversity protection. Modern Engineered Bamboo Structures recognizes bamboo’s various benefits, and aims at ministers, policymakers and representatives from research institutes, development organizations, NGOs or UN bodies and the private sector.
Tecnologie per una nuova igiene del costruire
Assunta come irrinunciabile e prioritaria la necessità di realizzare ambienti sicuri e salubri, il testo vuole promuovere il progetto e l'uso di strumenti regolamentari organici, capaci di favorire condizioni di benessere, in rapporto ai luoghi nei quali l'organismo edilizio si colloca, alle attività che negli ambienti interni di esso si esercitano e alle modalità costruttive. Si tratta della necessità di "accompagnare" i progettisti nella valutazione e gestione dei rischi per la salute, specie quelli connessi con l'inquinamento dell'aria indoor (IAQ); indicando protocolli efficaci nella prevenzione, nel controllo e nella correzione. Si propone, in chiave non manualistica ma problematica...
Progettare con l'informazione
Negli ultimi decenni l'edilizia è passata da una secolare stagione di certezze alla necessità di una completa riformulazione dei propri riferimenti e delle proprie regole. Le certezze erano rappresentate da consolidate regole dell'arte, da una manualistica statica ma capace di codificare bene quelle regole, e dalla loro trasmissione diretta tra le diverse generazioni di artigiani e costruttori. Gli stessi materiali descritti dai trattatisti dell'architettura sono rimasti, per secoli, pressoché invariati. In pochi decenni la situazione è del tutto cambiata: non solo per i molti materiali "nuovi" proposti dalla produzione, ma anche perché gli stessi materiali della tradizione non sono pi...
Tecniche materiali progetto
Il testo pone l'attenzione sulle ricadute innovative che alcune esperienze progettuali hanno innescato, nella loro collaborazione attiva con il settore produttivo, delineando nuove declinazioni di innovazione, a differenti livelli nel processo costruttivo: da quello più evidente,ovvero nuove tecniche materiali e costruttive, a quello più immateriale, sulle nuove capacità gestionali e nuove forme di servizi. Assume in tale dibattito, particolare rilevanza, l'attenzione per la cultura tecnico-materiale dell'involucro,quale luogo di riunificazione delle nuove possibili metaregole del costruire, espressione del linguaggio delle tecniche esecutive contemporanee. Per descrivere le tre principal...
