Putting Tradition into Practice: Heritage, Place and Design
This book gathers more than 150 peer-reviewed papers presented at the 5th INTBAU International Annual Event, held in Milan, Italy, in July 2017. The book represents an invaluable and up-to-date international exchange of research, case studies and best practice to confront the challenges of designing places, building cultural landscapes and enabling the development of communities. The papers investigate methodologies of representation, communication and valorization of historic urban landscapes and cultural heritage, monitoring conservation management, cultural issues in heritage assessment, placemaking and local identity enhancement, as well as reconstruction of settlements affected by disasters. With contributions from leading experts, including university researchers, professionals and policy makers, the book addresses all who seek to understand and address the challenges faced in the protection and enhancement of the heritage that has been created.
JFK: The French Connection
Ten months after the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the Warren Commission reported that Lee Harvey Oswald, alone, killed the president on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas. Oswald had no confederates, nor did any foreign power aid him in his deadly deed. Case closed. However, what most Americans do not know is that one day after the assassination, the FBI deported a known French assassin-a member of the militant, anti-Charles de Gaulle organization called the OAS. Jean Souetre was sent to either Mexico or Canada. He was involved in anti-de Gaulle terrorist activities in Europe and even tried to recruit the CIA in his efforts to oust the French President.

Cities Contested
Historians discuss the 1970s as an era of deep transformations and even structural rupture in Western societies. For the first time, Cities Contested engages in this debate from the perspective of comparative urban history, examining the struggles in and about urban space at a time when ideas about the “city” and concepts of urban planning were being reconsidered. This book discusses the structural rupture of the time by comparing case studies of Italian and Western German cities, analyzing central issues of urban politics, urban renewal and heritage, and urban protest and social movements. An original contribution to current debates on the transition from industrial modernity to post-Fordist societies as well as to urban history and the history of social movements, Cities Contested draws on the parallel histories of Italy and Germany to propose new questions and new avenues for investigation.
Lo scaffale degli italiani
Siamo nel maggio del 1962, all'alba del boom economico, quando un gruppo di pionieri, coraggiosi e lungimiranti dettaglianti, firmano a Bologna l'atto costitutivo di Conad, il Consorzio nazionale dettaglianti. È una svolta epocale, perché dimostra come la straordinaria energia individualista di un Paese fatto di piccole e medie imprese riesca a coniugarsi in un sistema di vendite al consumo su larga scala, in grado di sfidare colossi della grande distribuzione che fino a quel momento erano solo privati e stranieri. Piccole botteghe di quartiere, rette dal sacrificio di singole famiglie dove ciascuno ha un ruolo nell'impresa, negozi sopravvissuti alla guerra o riaperti da ex contadini ed ex operai, decidono di mettersi insieme per affrontare uniti il mercato. C'è il vantaggio di ridurre i costi, certo, ma si intravede il motore collettivo di una crescita fondata sul valore più autentico della cooperazione, sull'alleanza di venditori che diventano comunità: l'elemento propulsivo del miracolo economico italiano.
Governo del consumo di territorio. Metodi, strategie, criteri
(Good) government of the consumption of the territory is now one of the most difficult challenges facing planning and all the other sciences that contribute to the design of effective urban and territorial policies. With a view to contributing to debate on such issues, the authors reflect on the new forms of public decision-making, on the potential of territorial equalisation and on other sizing mechanisms, with reference both to the areas under transformation and the consolidated urban contexts. Based on an in-depth investigation of regeneration, requalification and densification projects for urban areas or metropolitan regions in Italy, Europe or the rest of the world, the text suggests various strategies for intervention with reference to the Tuscan case.
