Cr/Eat/Ing City
Over the last decades, the term resilience became predominant in many disciplines. One significant field of investigation for the ecological resilience is agriculture, both in urban and peri-urban areas. If the food systems organized the territories for ages, today modern agro-industries contribute to maximize production with little regard to the impacts on the environment. In term of food supply, the more cities cut themselves off from countryside the more they become fragile ecosystems. Estimating the real food demand on local scale, implies therefore, taking into account more sustainable practices, by monitoring the input and output of energy/production fl ows according to the concept of regional foodshed. Cr(eat)ing Cities addresses the question of how localized food production in the form of urban agriculture will contribute to a climate-optimized smart city model, supporting also the re-thinking of open space potentials. In this sense the principle of multifunctionality become an integrative factor applied to urban landscapes in order to react to the specific challenges of contemporary city, in terms of living space, services and food.

Neo-liberalism and the Architecture of the Post Professional Era
This book discusses the effects of Neo-Liberal policies on the transformations of architectural and urban practices and education in the transition from the era of “professionalism” to “post-professionalism.” Building on previous literature in the field of contemporary theory of architecture, it provides the necessary resources for the study of contemporary architecture and urban politics, urban sociology, local administration and urban geography. Further, it develops a political and critical perspective on contemporary practices of architecture and urbanism, their implementation, legal background, political effects and social results. The book will interest readers from a wide range of academic disciplines, from political science to architecture, and from urban studies to sociology.
