In the north-east of Italy the sites of the Cold War represent an excellent opportunity to enhance the landscapes and cultures of the places where they are located. By their nature these sites were part of an international and intercontinental technological and military context. Gathering theoretical insights and design practice for the enhancement of these important sites, this book collects different international experiences around the theme of the reuse and architectural design of recently abandoned military areas to try to awaken attention to these important territorial signs that are in danger of disappearing.
The book includes high-quality papers presented at the 4th International Conference on Smart Learning Ecosystems and Regional Development at Università Roma Tor Vergata, Italy, from 22 to 24 May, 2019. Providing insights into the relevance of smart learning ecosystems (schools, campuses, the workplace, informal learning contexts, etc.) for regional development and social innovation, it also discusses how citizens’ involvement with smart ecosystems can be increased and made more effective.
La prevenzione degli incidenti stradali in città si realizza attraverso norme tecniche e competenze progettuali. Ogni volta che si tratta di progettare o riqualificare una rete stradale o di disegnare un nuovo quartiere, esistono più possibilità, basate su approcci concettuali diversi che si rifanno a due principi opposti: la segregazione dei modi di trasporto o l’integrazione dei diversi modi nel traffico automobilistico a “velocità ridotta”. Il ruolo della prevenzione dei rischi legati alla circolazione tende a divenire centrale nel governo urbano. I mestieri e le culture tecniche dell’ingegnere, dell’urbanista e dell’architetto si sono evoluti al punto che gli amministrato...
Da tempo l’Industrial Heritage costituisce una delle leve strategiche per il rilancio culturale di città e territori e per nuovi programmi di rigenerazione urbana. Molti progetti e realizzazioni dimostrano come buone pratiche di salvaguardia e recupero possano dare adeguata valorizzazione ai beni della civiltà industriale e restituirli al pubblico come patrimonio culturale collettivo. Chi si occupa di patrimonio industriale deve, tuttavia, fronteggiare sempre nuove sfide, non solo per la straordinaria varietà e complessità delle sue componenti, per la sua enorme diffusione in tutte le aree del mondo, ma anche e soprattutto per i rapidissimi cambiamenti culturali, economici e sociali ch...
This innovative and thought-provoking book integrates both new, authored material and reprints of existing literature that, together, provide a compelling narrative that reveals the fatally flawed science associated with genetic reductionist accounts of human behavior and development. Through an interdisciplinary lens, it illuminates the dynamic nature of human development, empowering readers to question established notions, and embrace the complexity of our potential. Across the book, the work of top-tier scientists, from developmental, comparative, educational, and biological science illuminates theory and research converging on the conclusion that the multiple egregiously flawed work of g...

Middle India and Rural-Urban Development explores the socio-economic conditions of an ‘India’ that falls between the cracks of macro-economic analysis, sectoral research and micro-level ethnography. Its focus, the ‘middle India’ of small towns, is relatively unknown in scholarly terms for good reason: it requires sustained and difficult field research. But it is where most Indians either live or constantly visit in order to buy and sell, arrange marriages and plot politics. Anyone who wants to understand India therefore needs to understand non-metropolitan, provincial, small-town India and its economic life. This book meets this need. From 1973 to the present, Barbara Harriss-White h...
