The theme of the Conference Cities have become a focal point for complex problems ranging from the adverse effects of climate change to the aggravation of physical and psychological health problems, inequality, alienation, reduction of economic opportunities, social fragmentation and conflict. At the same time, cities are living laboratories, experimental sites for co-producing innovative solutions to contemporary global challenges, transforming emerging problems into opportunities, in order to define a model of urban development that is consistent with the objectives of the Smart Growth of Society, as postulated in Agenda Item 11 of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Making Cities Inclusive, Safe, Resilient and Sustainable. To achieve these objectives, research must be oriented towards an interdisciplinary approach that increasingly includes planning, humanistic and technological disciplines, in particular ICT, in a perspective of sustainable innovation, aiming to: • promote the competitiveness of the world economy by applying models of sustainable local development that foster social participation and innovation; • promote a balanced development of urban and metropolitan areas aimed not only at the well-being of the inhabitants but also of the surrounding territories; • launch social innovation projects to encourage experimentation with new ideas and projects addressing unmet needs expressed by the public and private sectors or promoted by responsible citizens; • support sectors related to the green economy, eco-innovation, low carbon economy, resource efficiency and air quality improvement, transport systems, water and waste treatment and the development of environmental technology systems; • intensify efforts to protect and safeguard the world’s cultural and natural heritage; • strengthen the use of local and innovative, eco-sustainable materials and resources and the circular economy The conference will be in Italian, French and English without simultaneous interpretation.
Le thème de la conférence Les villes sont devenues un point de concentration crucial de problèmes complexes allant des effets néfastes du changement climatique à l’aggravation des problèmes de santé physique et psychologique, en passant par les inégalités, l’aliénation, la réduction des opportunités économiques, la fragmentation sociale et les conflits. Dans le même temps, les villes sont des laboratoires vivants, des sites d’expérimentation pour coproduire des solutions innovantes aux défis mondiaux contemporains, transformant les problèmes émergents en opportunités, afin de définir un modèle de développement urbain cohérent avec les objectifs de la croissance intelligente de la société, tel que postulé au point 11 des objectifs de développement durable (ODD) à l’Horizon 2030: rendre les villes inclusives, sûres, résilientes et durables. Pour atteindre ces objectifs, la recherche doit être orientée vers une approche interdisciplinaire qui inclut de plus en plus les disciplines de la planification, des sciences humaines et de la technologie, en particulier les TIC, dans une perspective d’innovation durable, visant à: • promouvoir la compétitivité de l’économie mondiale en appliquant des modèles de développement local durable qui favorisent la participation sociale et l’innovation; • promouvoir un développement équilibré des zones urbaines et métropolitaines visant non seulement au bien-être des habitants mais également aux territoires environnants; • lancer des projets d’innovation sociale pour encourager l’expérimentation de nouvelles idées et de projets répondant aux besoins non satisfaits exprimés par les secteurs public et privé ou promus par des citoyens responsables; • soutenir les secteurs liés à l’économie verte, à l’éco-innovation, à l’économie sobre en carbone, à l’utilisation rationnelle des ressources et à l’amélioration de la qualité de l’air, aux systèmes de transport, au traitement de l’eau et des déchets, ainsi qu’au développement de systèmes de technologie environnementale; • intensifier les efforts pour protéger et sauvegarder le patrimoine culturel et naturel du monde • renforcer l’utilisation de matériaux et de ressources locaux et innovants, éco-durables et de l’économie circulaire. La conférence sera en italien, français et anglais sans interprétation simultanée

Stratégies urbaines et accès au logement. L’expérience du Maroc entre réalisation et formation académique Imane Bennani
Directrice de l’Ecole d’Architecture, Université Internationale de Rabat, UIR, Maroc
La communication traite des différents aspects du défi urbain que doivent relever les pouvoirs publiques marocains ainsi que les problématiques se manifestant en l’accroissement démographique conjuguée à l’exode rural entrainant une urbanisation accélérée et par conséquent une amplification des besoins en logements. Parmi les résultats de cette urbanisation, l’on peut noter la prolifération de l’habitat insalubre et une extension urbaine à la périphérie des villes et des agglomérations. Face à ce contexte, des stratégies urbaines sont déployées pour maîtriser l’urbanisation et garantir l’accès à un logement décent. On peut résumer les grands de cette stratégie en: La lutte contre l’habitat insalubre ; la promotion de l’habitat social; La politique des villes nouvelles; L’initiation des grands projet urbains; La revalorisation du patrimoine ainsi que le traitement de la problématique de l’habitat menaçant ruine. Enfin, la communication traite du rôle de la formation académique et les perspectives intégrant cette réflexion. Imane Bennani is an Architect from ENA, with a PhD in Urban Geography from Mohammed V University in Rabat. Then Masters in Heritage and heritage work at Ecole de Chaillot Paris/ENA, graduate degree in Advanced Studies on Urbanization of Land at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities Rabat.

25 Kilometres of Change. Building Resilience in Peri-Urban Areas Through Adaptation of Indigenous Knowledge Sandra Piesik UNCCD consultant
Urban, peri-urban and rural areas are at the forefront of climate change. The anthropogenic pressures influencing the growth of cities such as demographic changes, rural – urban migrations as well as climate change migrations mean that cities need to constantly re-adjust their administrative boundaries to reflect new conditions. The uncontrolled outward expansion of cities is also influencing rural areas, because it often intrudes on arable land. Peri-urban areas (within 25 kilometres from the administrative boundaries of cities) are at the forefront of these changes, with their connections to cities as well as to rural areas. Cities depend on healthy hinterlands and the productive capacities of land for food production. In Sub -Saharan Africa, this is at times challenging due the adverse effects of climate change, manifested through desertification and land degradation. The battle for the sustainable expansion of cities will be won or lost through adaptive resilience of peri-urban areas. In this talk, Dr Sandra Piesik will explore the potential of the adaptation of indigenous knowledge for nature and culture – based solutions in peri-urban areas in order to build local resilience in the 25 kilometres of potential change. Sandra Piesik, Architect, author and researcher specialising in adaptation of traditional knowledge systems, technology transfer, urban - rural dynamics and the implementation of global sustainable legislation. She is the founder of 3 ideas Ltd, a Policy Support Consultant for Rural – Urban Dynamics to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), a Visiting Professor at the UCL Global Institute for Prosperity, initiator of several RD&D groups and consortia including HABITAT Coalition.

Récuperer l’habitat à travers les politiques urbaines Daniele Pini
Department of Architecture, University of Ferrara, UNESCO WHC Consultant
Al-Ain was inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2011 because of the universal importance of its “cultural sites” which include 6 oases, now incapsulated within a rapidly growing urban area that counts about 600.000 inhabitants. The Buffer Zones of the oases are not only meant to ensure a further level of protection World Heritage sites, but also represent a major planning issue, since they encompass large urban areas with relevant pressures for new developments and further urban change. The Historic Urban Landscape approach has been adopted to define a planning strategy and prepare Urban Design Guidelines (UDG) for the Buffer Zones ensuring a sustainable development while protecting and valorising the heritage and landscape values of the Word Heritage oases. Daniele Pini Architect, Full Professor of Urban Planning at the University of Ferrara (retired in 2014). As a UNESCO-WHC consultant he notably took part in the elaboration of the Recommendation on Historic Urban Landscape and coordinated the studies for the Conservation Plan of Sanaa, the Action Plan for the Old City of Jerusalem, and the Project for the Urban Regeneration of Historic Cairo.

Frugal Inclusive Smart cities Aawatif Hayar
Présidente de l’Université Hassan II Casablanca Maroc / Chair Casablanca IEEE Core Smart Cities
“Frugal Social Collaborative Sustainable Smart City “, is a new concept for smart city transformation which was distinguished by IEEE Smart city initiative in 2015 as an innovative cost effective inclusive smart city concept. The social frugal smart city concept puts citizens at the center of the transformation process, creating a public-private-people partnership where citizens are actors in and builders of their smart city. It aims to reconcile citizens with their « City » and society making them feel citizens with rights and duties and count « in the process». It is also aiming at limiting investment risks by adopting a cost-effective or a frugal ”bottom-up” approach accompanied with the city’s decision-making vision guiding principles and support. It is based on the use and transformation of existing infrastructure including mobiquitous devices, such as smartphones, to develop cost effective IT driven innovation cycle and e-services that track and answer citizens economic cultural, social and ecological needs. This participatory oriented social innovation approach will allow, step by step, to build a set of interconnected pilot projects and sites to set up gradually a sustainable smart city collaborative innovation ecosystem creating at the end a social sustainable economy which turns societal and economic challenges into a business opportunity.

Coding New Town Forma Urbis Giuseppe De Luca | Carlo Pisano
Dipartimento di Architettura, DIDA, UNIFI
In contemporary urbanism the idea of total control through pre-determined plans and grand schemes have step by step lost its validity, paving the way to several new form of hybrid and flexible instruments. Under the rule-based design framework, this contribution investigates some recent experiments with the aim to formulate an urban code for new towns design processes in the Mediterranean area. This inquiry will particularly face the problem of the form of the city and the way in which morphology influences a series of relevant topics such as: microclimate, social interaction, functional mix, transport system.

Public space design is the driver: 3 experiences Fabrizio Rossi Prodi
Dipartimento di Architettura, DIDA, UNIFI
Cities are defined by the relationship between public and private space. It is a dialectic that takes on different forms at different times in history, in different geographical and cultural areas. Three projects show how urban design at different scales, in different ways, is based on the recognition of the urban void as a fundamental tool to imagine and manage the evolution of the city and the landscape. Fabrizio Rossi Prodi, is full professor since 2001, he teaches architectural and urban design. His research activity has dealt with historical urban structure and its future, public space, residential neighborhoods and social housing; his approach takes care of sustainability as well as smart building and smart cities issues. In his design career he was awarded over 20 first prizes in architectural competitions and has built relevant civic architectural projects.
La ville verte Mohammed VI à Benguerir Lahlou Mounia Diaa
Directrice Développement SADV (Société d’aménagement Dévéloppemenùt Vert), Group OCP Maroc
Première au Maroc, la Ville Verte Mohammed VI est une ville nouvelle située en limite Sud de la ville de Benguerir et s’inscrit dans le cadre du renouveau économique et social du territoire des Rehamna, en tant qu’espace socio économique intégré. Le projet de la Ville Verte représente l’opportunité de mettre en œuvre les concepts de développement durable les plus actuels appliqués à l’urbanisme. Ainsi la Ville Verte est organisée à partir de 2 maillages qui se superposent: un maillage est affecté aux voies de dessertes véhicules, l’autre est celui des cheminements doux accueillant piétons et vélos. Ce maillage a été conçu pour permettre aux bâtiments de la ville de bénéficier de la meilleure orientation solaire et de créer les ombrages nécessaires à la protection de l’espace public. Les déplacements de proximité sont majoritaires en ville et trop souvent effectués en voiture. La Ville Verte inverse cette tendance et développe des modes doux de déplacement pouvant devenir prioritaires à terme; favorisant une nouvelle qualité de vie et qualité de « ville » dont les facteurs sont des espaces publics attractifs, une proximité des services, une autre façon de se déplacer moins coûteuse et plus conviviale. Lahlou Mounia Diaa, Architecte, elle est actuellement Directrice Développement de la Société d’Aménagement Dévéloppement Vert (SADV) du Group OCP Maroc où elle s’occupe de stratégie de développement urbain; développement immobilier; études d›urbanisme, d›aménagement et de construction; montage de projets et partenariat.

United Cities and Local Governments of Africa, UCLGA
Pour faire face aux nombreux défis auxquels elles sont confrontées, notamment en matière d’urbanisation, d’environnement, de développement durable, de résilience sociale… les villes et territoires africains sont appelés à continuellement innover et renforcer leurs stratégies et moyens d’actions. Pour cela et avant tout, ils ont nécessairement besoin de se doter de Ressources Humaines compétentes et motivées. Il nous intéresse dans cette analyse de chercher à savoir si les villes et territoires africains disposent du Capital humain nécessaire pour relever effacement tous ces défis. Quels sont les principaux handicaps en matière de ressources humaines et comment peut-on promouvoir le capital humain pour une meilleure gestion des villes et territoires en Afrique? Kamate Ismaël, a obtenu son Doctorat en droit Public à la Faculté de Droit de Tanger au Maroc. Après sa thèse, il a travaillé comme Assistant de Recherche au CAFRAD Avant de rejoindre en 2017 l’Académie Africaine des Collectivités Territoriales de CGLU Afrique où il est Responsable de l’Observatoire des Ressources Humaines des Collectivités Territoriales en Afrique.

Smart city à l’ère numérique. Le BIM comme outil de numérisation des contextes urbains contemporainse Youssef El Ganadi
Université Internationale de Rabat, UIR, Maroc, Università di Parma
Les processus de transformation globale ont mis en crise l’aménagement actuel des contextes urbains en obligeant les administrateurs, scientifiques à rechercher des nouveaux modèles de développement urbain qui définissent des actions et des stratégies durables pour faire face a les criticités que ces processus créent. Depuis les années 90, un modèle de développement urbain appelé Smart City est de plus en plus répandu et permet, grâce à la technologie de l’information et de la communication, d’analyser, de comprendre et de gérer les problèmes d’une ville. Smart City est un concept complexe et en constante évolution, dont la méthodologie utilise plusieurs outils et services technologiques dont le BIM (Building Information modeling), devenu un outil essentiel pour le développement d’un écosystème intelligent. Youssef El Ganadi, rejoint en 2016 le cabinet international d’architecture Teco + Partners avec lequel il collabore jusqu’à ce jour. Depuis 3 ans, il conduit des recherches et des activités d’enseignement sur les villes intelligentes dans le cadre du doctorat industriel auprès l’Université de Parme et l’Université International de Rabat, où il tient des cours comme enseignant vacataire. En 2018, il a fondé l’association à but non lucratif myafricancompetition.
The present status of urban forestry in the world: how research can help in planning and managing future mediterranean green cities for human health and well-being Francesco Ferrini
DIrector of Dipartimento di Scienze e Tecnologie Agrarie, Alimentari Ambientali e Forestali, DAGRI, UNIFI
The term ‘urban forestry’ is increasingly associated with the terms ‘ecosystem services’, ‘green infrastructure’, ‘nature-based solutions’ and ‘human health and well-being’. The evolution of urban forestry, both in terms of content and implementation typologies, has been favored by the “cultural contamination” with other discipline like landscape architecture and landscape and urban planning. The aim of this presentation is to provide an update on the research and progress of the discipline of Urban Forestry, focusing specifically on the benefits of urban forests (e.g., climate change mitigation, health benefits, etc.) and how these must be taken into consideration in planning the city of the future. Francesco Ferrini, PhD - Full Professor at the Department of Agriculture, Food, Environment and Forestry – University of Florence (Italy), Dean of the School of Agriculture, President of the Italian Society of Arboriculture from 2005 to 2011. He is Editor of the Handbook of Urban Forestry published by Routledge/Taylor & Francis Group He has published more than 300 scientific and technical papers in Italian and in English in international referred and nationwide journals.
Prato smart city between reuse, circular economy and green benefits Valerio Barberis
Councilor for urban planning, the environment and Circular Economy Municipality of Prato
The themes of circularity have always been historically linked to the city of Prato, given that reuse has been the basis for the development of the textile district with the creation of carded wool, the first recycled spinning. The reuse linked to circular economy processes is the central theme of the new Operational Plan, in harmony with European policies. From zero land consumption, pursued through new strategies on charges, revised standards and allowed new destinations, such as co-working and co-housing. But the biggest challenge in Prato is the 5 million square meters of productive fabrics that can be reused, where incentives are provided for transformations towards service and management functions with tax relief and tax relief on charges. Valerio Barberis Architect and PhD in Architecture, he is a lecturer in Architectural Design at the Department of Architecture of the University of Florence. From 2014 to 2019 he holds the role of Councilor for Urban Planning and Public Works in the Municipality of Prato and from 2019 he is confirmed as Councilor for Urban Planning and the Environment. In his role as Councilor he promotes an overall vision of the future of the city, which takes shape in the formation of an urban agenda that is emerging in the national and European panorama, in the debate on sustainable local development. From 2016 he is the coordinator for Italy in the circular economy partnership within the Urban Agenda for the EU program, undertaken by the European Commission.
Sustainable mobility for the resilient city Francesco Alberti
Dipartimento di Architettura, DIDA, UNIFI
In the perspective of sustainable development, urban transport is addressed today in different terms than in the recent past. The question is whether and in what way, through the combination of technological innovation, planning and management, mobility may orient the evolution of cities towards forms of organization, which are more sustainable and resilient to the climate, environmental and socio-economic changes looming on the horizon. Francesco Alberti, PhD, Associate Professor of Urban Planning at the University of Florence. His scientific interests refer to an approach aimed at giving cultural coherence among research, education and public policies concerning city and territory, with a special focus on the relationship between urban and transport planning.
Villes minières/Mining Cities. Modern Architectural Heritage in Morocco
Francesco Collotti | Eliana Martinelli
Dipartimento di Architettura, DIDA, UNIFI
Cecilia Fumagalli
Ecole d’Architecture, Université Internationale de Rabat, UIR, Maroc
The international architectural and urban design workshop VILLES MINIÈRES | MINING CITIES aimed at elaborating proposals and design ideas for a new settlement to be located in the so-called ‘phosphates valley’ of the Moroccan inland, where, since the 1920s, mining cities such as Khouribga, Youssufia and Benguérir, among others, have been built. Starting from the analysis of Moroccan case studies of the late 1920s onwards, the attention has been directed towards the definition of design ideas in order to investigate the theme of the new towns, by elaborating urban strategies and architectural proposals. Starting from the experience of the Moroccan mining cities, the contribution aims at rethinking and developing strategies for the design of the villes nouvelles. Francesco Collotti is full professor at DIDA of the Florence University, promoting not only the research on architectural identities, but also involved in international cultural and scientific programmes. His activity is a link between research, professional work and teaching (all together: learning). Builds at the moment in Italy, Jordan, Oman, Turkey and Germany. The research and the pilot-projects are particularly focusing the Mediterranean area (case-studies Balkans, Northern Africa, Alps, Middle and Near East).

Mediterranean forests and sustainable development Fabio Salbitano
Dipartimento di Scienze e Tecnologie Agrarie, Alimentari Ambientali e Forestali, DAGRI, UNIFI
With a population of 520 million people (2018) on three continents and an extremely rich natural and cultural heritage, the Mediterranean is an “ecoregion�, in which human and economic development is largely inter-dependent on limited (sometimes-scarce) natural resources and a vulnerable environment. After thousands of years of co-evolution between ecosystems and societies, human activities are creating substantial environmental pressure, with significant disparities between the northern, southern and eastern rims. The increase in Ecological Footprint and the decrease of landscapes biocapacity in most countries in the Mediterranean region indicates growing pressure on resources as a result of unsustainable methods and levels of consumption. We will try to summarize the amazing adventure of the interconnected history of forest and human societies, highlighting the unsustainable sustainability of the relationship between city and forest and of the forest management itself, always oriented to the cities’ life, at least in the Mediterranean, in order to highlight strengths and opportunities that forests can have in the future of Med region. We will focus as well on the next future challenges that all Mediterranean forests will tackle in supporting and increasing the biocapacity, sustainability and resilient potential of landscape. Indeed, the Mediterranean forests and trees were, are, and moreover will be the irreplaceable nature and culture based solutions, i.e. the Landscape Based Solution, for the whole region.

European trends in greenhouse gases emissions from integrated solid waste Claudio Lubello
Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile e Ambientale, DICEA, UNIFI
The 28 EU member Countries show very different characteristics (e.g. surface, population density, per capita gross domestic product, municipal solid waste management options). In this presentation several integrated waste management scenarios representative of the European situation have been generated and analysed in order to evaluate possible trends in the net emission of greenhouse gases and in the required landfill volume. The results demonstrate that an integrated system with a high level of separate collection, efficient energy recovery in waste-to-energy plants and very limited landfill disposal is the most effective.

Acquaponica, un système innovant pour la régénération urbaine intelligente Walter Gaj Tripiano
Université Internationale de Rabat, UIR, Maroc
Le système biologique “aquaponica”, qui implique la culture de légumes et l’élevage de poissons en utilisant le même produit alimentaire au cours du même cycle de vie, a pour objectif de rendre les processus “agricoles” et de production de poisson “intelligents”. Le poisson, après avoir consommé des aliments naturels, libère dans l’eau des déchets organiques absorbés sous forme de nitrates par les racines des plantes présentes dans la même eau que celle dans laquelle vivent les animaux. De cette façon, les poissons garantissent une nutrition saine aux plantes et les plantes, qui ont également pour tâche de jouer le rôle de “biofiltre”, garantissent une eau pure aux poissons. C’est un système de culture appelé “intelligent” car, de manière “intelligente”, il réduit les besoins en eau et en terre, il est bien adapté à la récupération des zones urbaines, élimine les déchets, améliore la compatibilité écologique avec l’environnement, annule la la consommation d’énergie, l’augmentation de la production en termes quantitatifs, qualitatifs et temporels, peuvent constituer la base d’une sorte d’économie locale indépendante, respectent l’environnement et les processus de la vie naturelle - si des engrais chimiques étaient utilisés pour nourrir les plantes, le poisson ne ils survivraient, s’adapteraient à des besoins locaux différents et spécifiques, produiraient des produits alimentaires exclusivement et véritablement biologiques. Walter Gaj Tripiano, architecte, après une première expérience professionnelle (1987-1998) en tant que salarié des groupes “Calcestruzzi Torino” et “Fiat Auto spa”, où il exerçait les fonctions de chef de chantier et de concepteur dans le secteur tertiaire et de la production, depuis 1995, il exerce ses activité indépendante. Il s’occupe de la conception et de la gestion des travaux même en dehors du territoire national, en créant des interventions en Égypte, en Tunisie, en Biélorussie, en Malaisie et en Thaïlande. Dans les années 2015-2016, il s’installe au Brésil (Fortaleza) pour la réalisation de la première ville intelligente en matière de “logement social”, où il occupait le poste de chef de projet général du projet. Depuis 2012, il exerce ses activités au Maroc, où il a fondé le groupe Greenville, dont le siège est à Casablanca, et exerce parallèlement depuis 2017 les fonctions de professeur à l’Université internationale de Rabat - Faculté d’architecture (Smart City Atelier) et de tuteur au Doctorat sur les villes intelligentes (Faculté d’Architecture de Parme-Italie). Depuis 2014, il est associé à un partenaire local à Jeddah - Arabie Saoudite, avec lequel il développe le projet de restauration des bâtiments historiques de la “vieille ville” de Jeddah (site du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO), via la société d’ingénierie MEC srl en Italie, dont il est partenaire et représentant légal.
Landscape functions of the urban open spaces: looking for resilience in Mediterranean cities Gabriele Paolinelli | Emanuela Morelli Dipartimento di Architettura, DIDA, UNIFI
Imagining new towns is challenging about the Anthropocene. Getting landscapes to work as much as possible is a key to look for resilience and sustainability. Thinking by the landscape means to look at nature and culture together: it helps to avoid cultural colonialisms. Every open space of a landscape plays several environmental and social functions expressing systemic emergent properties. Ages, technologies, models change and traditions evolve, but the system of open spaces has always been a base of our ways of living. Gabriele Paolinelli is professor of Urbanism and Landscape Design at the University of Florence. He leads the education and research Lab on Landscape Design of the Department of Architecture. Emanuela Morelli is Associate professor in Landscape Architecture at the University of Florence. She is Editor in Chief of “Ri-Vista.

Solar technology and Positive Energy District (PED) for sustainability city Maurizio De Lucia | Giacomo Pierucci | Michele Salvestroni Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile e Ambientale, DICEA, UNIFI
The need to implement effective decarbonization policies, especially in urban areas, requires rationalizing resources and energy flows. The proposed solution involves the massive integration of solar technologies (thermal and photovoltaic) in the residential context creating systems of Thermal Energy Storage, suitably optimized in a sort of combined smart grid. The proposed approach intends to demonstrate the possibility of covering a relevant part of the demand by the intervention both on the structure of buildings (opaque and transparent surfaces refurbishment), and on plants. The best configuration has to be found with the right compromise between storage size and distribution networks length with the aim of reducing energy losses and costs up to PED (Positive Energy District). A central node of the proposal is to indicate the design path that allows the replicability of similar solutions in different contexts, modifying the impact of urban agglomerations on the environment radically, while not varying their morphology. Due to the current situation, especially in Italy (and in general EU), it is fundamental that changes can be updated compatibly with what already exists, without resorting to the expansion of built-up land. The object is to demonstrate that the urban environment can be optimized from an energy point of view and that this could lead to an economic advantage for administrations and individual users.

Public Space and the New Urban Agenda: building our common human future Luisa Bravo
Dipartimento di Architettura, DIDA, UNIFI
Our world is urban, like never before in the history of humanity. Today 55% of the world’s population lives in urban areas, a proportion that is expected to reach 68% by 2050, while at the beginning of the XX Century only 10% of the population lived in cities. Urbanization is making clear that we are facing a novel human era. The New Urban Agenda adopted at the Habitat III conference (2016) is fostering public space as a vital component of a prosperous city, aimed at nurturing social interaction, economic exchange and cultural expression among a wide diversity of people and social groups. Luisa Bravo is a global academic scholar and a public space activist. Her expertise is grounded in extensive academic postdoctoral research and teaching in Europe, the United States, Middle East, Asia and Australia. She collaborates with the UN-Habitat’s Global Public Space Programme and she is an international renowned speaker at UN-Habitat global summits.
Urban Polycentric Net Emiliano Romagnoli
Dipartimento di Architettura, DIDA, UNIFI
In western urban culture, the orthogonal grid has guided the conception of peripheries, generating the loss of identity of public space. A. van Eyck delivered a critique on this conception, conceiving architecture as the visual way by which society expresses itself. This idea motivated his trips to the Algerian Sahara desert, where forms, due to the rigor of the climate, are reduced to their most elementary expression. On his return, A. van Eyck proposes the polycentric net: topicality urban design tool that overlaps the grid and considers open spaces as part of a larger system where the centrality is relative because center and periphery can move within the network. Emiliano Romagnoli is professor under contract professor of Composition of Architecture at the University of Florence. He obtained his PhD in 2007 from the same University and he has participated in several research projects in the field of urban and architectural design with particular attention to sustainability. He has participated in several national and international competitions and also achieved some important results.
