About this title

Synopsis

This book presents peer-reviewed articles from the UrbanPromo International Conference on “Designing in disorder - Designing disorder. Reorganizing Urban Fragility” held from 5 to 8 November 2024 at Florence in Italy. It highlights the issue of land management and its transformations through the use of soft policies and soft power practices: informal tools that progressively complement the ordinary, more formal and constraining tools and processes of planning and design, allowing for a greater variety of possible outcomes, a reduction in time and an increase in the final quality of results.

This book therefore reviews these experimental practices and explores how much of this modality can be the pathway for updating the discipline of spatial governance in Europe.

About the Author

Dr. Carlo Pisano  is Associate Professor of Urbanism at the Department of Architecture of the University of Florence, where he leads the Laboratory of Regional Design and the DiDA Communication Lab. After obtaining the European Master in Urbanism (EMU) he collaborated with Studio Secchi-Vigaṇ for the masterplans for New Zuid in Antwerp, as well as the urban visions for Brussels 2040 and Greater Moscow, building a strong international and interdisciplinary background. He holds a PhD from the University of Cagliari in collaboration with TU Delft, and his research focuses on vision-driven and climate-adaptive urban interventions, with particular attention to multi-scalar relationships between regional and urban design. Among his most significant projects are the masterplan for Wienerstrasse in Linz (2018), winner of Europan 14, the regeneration of the Mondeggi estate (2022), and the Strategic and the Territorial Metropolitan Plans (2018-2024) for the city of Florence.
 
Dr. Giuseppe De Luca is Full Professor of urbanism at the Department of Architecture of the University of Florence, of which he was Director from 2020 to 2024 and Vice-Director from 2016 to 2020. Since June 2019, he has been Expert in spatial and urban planning at the Consiglio Superiore dei Lavori Pubblici, Rome. His main fields of research are directed toward the study of forms and methods of territorial government that invoke the principles of governance and cooperative government and how these tend to be transformed into ‘territorial projects’.  He has drafted or collaborated on the project team of 20 urban planning instruments and has participated in numerous national and international research projects.
