Cultural Heritage Education in the Everyday Landscape
This book summarizes work being undertaken within the School Activates Resources—stitching the lost heritage of the suburbs (ScAR) project, which addressed cultural heritage in a broad sense, as a system of values identified by the populations and in constant evolution. This tangible and intangible heritage fuels the promotion of intergenerational and intercultural dialogue and represents an opportunity for resilient social and territorial development. The book ponders the experience gained and the points of view of the different disciplines involved, examines issues such as children and youth participation in civil life or education in cultural heritage and landscape, and presents real-world experiences of heritage education in everyday landscape in difficult contexts and/or concerning poorly recognized and valued cultural heritage.

Routledge Companion to Professional Awareness and Diversity in Planning Education
The Routledge Companion to Professional Awareness and Diversity in Planning Education engenders a discourse on how urban planning as a discipline is being made attractive to children and youth as they consider their career preferences. It also provides a discourse around the diversity challenges facing the institutions for training urban planning professionals. This Companion is an impressive collection of initiatives, experiences, and lessons in helping children, youth, and the general public appreciate the importance of, and the diversity challenge confronting, the urban planning profession and education. It comprises empirical, experimental, and case study research on initiatives to addre...
The Enriched Field
Today’s China is experiencing massive urban growth: new towns are built, extensive suburbanization processes occur in many regions, and agricultural spaces are radically altered by the construction of new rural settlements. This publication considers these processes for the Central Plains of China, the previously mostly agricultural region comprising the lower reaches of the Yellow River.
Città e guerra : difese, distruzioni, permanenze delle memorie e dell’immagine urbana. Tomo II : tracce e patrimoni
[Italiano]: In un momento così significativo per la storia europea e mondiale, questo volume vuole essere la raccolta di riflessioni scientifiche condotte sui rapporti tra le scelte politiche, le azioni militari e la fisionomia delle città e del paesaggio urbano, sull’evoluzione delle strutture e delle tecniche di difesa, sulla rappresentazione della guerra e dei suoi effetti sull’immagine urbana, sul recupero delle tracce della memoria cittadina. Da una parte il campo delle Digital Humanities apre nuove prospettive per studiare l'immagine della città prima, durante e dopo la guerra, dall’altro le tecnologie digitali impegnano studiosi e ricercatori di varie discipline: in particola...
Discovering the everyday landscape
Heritage and landscape education is crucial to training young people in active and responsible citizenship, protection of the public assets, appreciation of the cultural diversity and intergenerational dialogue. Therefore, it cannot be limited to sporadic experiences and on outstanding heritage and contexts but must be transdisciplinary, inclusive and practicable everywhere. This book relates the research and action project “Scuola Attiva Risorse” (ScAR), winner of the Polisocial Award that recognizes research for social purposes at the Politecnico di Milano. The text describes an experimental and innovative action delivered within the fragile context of the urban peripheries. This participatory process involved schools, universities, cultural institutions, administrations and private actors in interpreting and enhancing the “hidden” cultural heritage in Milan’s fringe neighbourhoods.
Against the Commons
An alternative history of capitalist urbanization through the lens of the commons Characterized by shared, self-managed access to food, housing, and the basic conditions for a creative life, the commons are essential for communities to flourish and protect spaces of collective autonomy from capitalist encroachment. In a narrative spanning more than three centuries, Against the Commons provides a radical counterhistory of urban planning that explores how capitalism and spatial politics have evolved to address this challenge. Highlighting episodes from preindustrial England, New York City and Chicago between the 1850s and the early 1900s, Weimar-era Berlin, and neoliberal Milan, Álvaro Sevill...
Milano post-bellica: la 'Racchetta' e i monumenti
Il volume esamina le vicende della ricostruzione urbanistico-edilizia e monumentale a Milano nel secondo dopoguerra, con particolare riferimento alla realizzazione della cosiddetta ‘Racchetta’, grande arteria di attraversamento della città. Ideata per allontanare il traffico dal centro storico, e in particolare da piazza del Duomo, la nuova strada si sarebbe dovuta sviluppare da piazza San Babila fino a piazza Missori per proseguire fino a corso Magenta, tagliando il tessuto storico di antichi quartieri del centro cittadino. La progettazione urbanistica per la sua costruzione, intercettando presenze monumentali e aree con rinvenimenti archeologici da tutelare, mette in particolare evidenza il conflitto tra i differenti ‘attori’ coinvolti nella ricostruzione: l’amministrazione comunale (specie la Divisione urbanistica); le istituzioni statali per la tutela del patrimonio monumentale e archeologico; la classe professionale (architetti, ingegneri, urbanisti); le imprese di costruzione e i gruppi immobiliari, animati da forti interessi speculativi.
