🎙️🌱 Get ready for our fifteenth episode of the URBINARY season! Coexistence in Urban Planning: Insights from Track 5 with Danila Saulino In this episode, we delve into Track 5 of the AESOP Young Academics Network - Conference 2024, titled "Towards coexistence: contested social and spatial landscapes in transformation"., we're joined by Danila Saulino, one of the track coordinators from Politecnico di Milano, who delves an enlightening discussion on the profound impacts of globalization, climate change, and territorial contestation on social and ecological equilibriums, and explore how urban and spatial planning can foster coexistence and bridge gaps in today's complex societies. Assisting her during the conference was Aamina Hashmat, Büşra İnce, providing invaluable support in navigating the discussions surrounding urban-rural divide. A key moment for Track 5 discussion was the keynote speech "Geographies of Ecological Surplus" by Nikos Katsikis (Delft University of Technology). This speech challenged the dominant city-centric view of urbanization, presenting it instead as a re-organization of world ecological value. Through visualizations based on global geospatial datasets, Katsikis highlighted the interconnectedness of settlement spaces with the "other 70%" of the land used for primary production and resource extraction, emphasizing their critical role in supporting urban life and questioning traditional urban metageographies. Moreover, another important moment was the roundtable discussion "Effective planning for Coexistence: new ways to make a difference, now". This roundtable built upon reflections from Track 5 sessions on the dynamics and effects of contested landscapes. Discussants Gloria Pessina (DAStU - Politecnico di Milano) and Nikos Katsikis (TU Delft), alongside guests Chiara Geroldi, Irene Bianchi, and Maryam Karimi (DAStU, Politecnico di Milano), explored the complex geographies of minorities and the role of urban planning in fostering global coexistence. The discussion emphasized the need to move beyond city-centered and human-centered planning models, advocating for a re-organization of ecological value systems and the creation of a horizon of coexistence in the Capitalocene era. https://lnkd.in/dNhhiZUu #EcologicalSurplusKeynote #CoexistencePlanningRoundtable #GlobalPlanningDialogue #ContestedLandscapesDiscussion

Happy to share the latest paper on "Cities as innovation poles in the digital transition. The Italian case" realized with Ginevra Balletto, published with AIMS - Geosciences. The paper focuses on the role of innovative Italian cities in tackling the current issues of the 'demographic winter' in the urban life cycle. A special thanks to the editors prof. Stefano de Falco, Giulia Fiorentino and Chiara Certomà. https://lnkd.in/g8Wyh6ii

Together with Giuseppe Borruso, we explored the evolving of main Italian cities. While some face demographic challenges, innovative cities, especially mid-sized ones, demonstrate resilience and growth. This research analyzes Italian urban dynamics, focusing on population change, income, and innovation, revealing the rise of urban champions capable of attracting people and expertise. 🔓 https://lnkd.in/d5R4AfRa

Doctoral researcher Lucas van der Meer from Z_GIS - Department of Geoinformatics, University of Salzburg presented the CITWIN project last week at the #mobilTUM2024 in Munich. This is a conference organized by the Chair of Urban Structure and Transport Planning at the Technical University of Munich (TUM openLAB Urban Mobility), focusing on the future of mobility and urban space. Special attention was paid to the concept of the 15-minute city, and its implementation in practice. Lucas talked about the potential and challenges of urban digital twin technology in the context of 15-minute cities. Can urban digital twins be more than just a hype? Can they be of practical use in the planning process of human-centred cities when we are aware of their limitations, and honest about them in our interpretation and communication? What questions can we actually ask them? And where do humans fit in? These are all questions that we aim to address within the project, moving towards a socio-technical perspective on urban digital twins with explicit human involvement in all phases of the feedback loop. Interested in the project? Follow this page on LinkedIn and reach out to us if you have comments, questions, ideas, or more. A big thank you to the organizing team at TU Munich for creating such an interesting and enjoyable event!

🌆✨ We are proud to announce that we have just started teaching a course on Public Space at the Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) in Rome! ❓ What defines a public or private space? ❓What makes a community space? ❓ Who are these spaces designed for? In an increasingly polarised society, where space is often commodified, it is essential to engage students in exploring how public spaces can make our cities more inclusive. By mapping our environments through the lens of 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞, we can better understand reality and work to improve it. At Eutropian, we bring our experience in research and action—covering topics like #temporaryuse, #markets, #heritage sites, #deliberativedemocracy, and #energycommunities—to inspire a new generation. Public space is our urban commons, a shared resource for all! 🏙️

How do you introduce yourself? I came across Daniel Priestley’s framework for self-introductions—Name. Same. Fame. Aim. Game—and here’s my take: ✅ Name: I’m Keun Park, an urban forestry professor at UBC. ✅ Same: “Dr. Urban Park.” Think of my work as designing parks for people and the environment. I study how urban nature shapes cities and enhances well-being and equity. ✅ Aim: At under_lab (Urban Nature Design Research Lab), my team of four PhD students and an incoming master’s student explores urban green/blue space accessibility, human-nature interactions, and health equity—all with the goal of turning research into real-world impact. ✅ Game: My long-term vision is to ensure urban parks are seen not just as green spaces but as critical infrastructure for public health, social equity, and climate resilience. In the next five years, I’ll continue publishing papers and hope to write a book on this very topic. ✅ Fame: Curious about our work? Visit our lab’s website to see what we’ve been working on together! https://lnkd.in/emSf3kg5

📰 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁 I am thrilled to share our latest research article published in Regional Studies Journal titled "𝐻𝑎𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑔𝑒𝑜𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑝ℎ𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑠𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑠 𝑏𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑎𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑏𝑦 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑐? 𝐹𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑎𝑠 𝑎 𝑐𝑎𝑠𝑒 𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑑𝑦". 👉 Read the full article https://lnkd.in/e6McrTWE 🔍 Key Findings: ➡ The COVID-19 pandemic has driven the distribution of collaborative spaces (CSs) towards less densely populated regions. ➡ There is an increasing demand for CSs in rural areas, indicating a shift from traditional urban-centered locations. ➡ Supporting CSs in remote areas can help address the urban-rural divide, fostering territorial resilience post-pandemic. ➡ Our study highlights the impact of the pandemic on economic landscapes and spatial patterns of shared workspaces, with significant implications for place-based policies and regional development. This research was conducted in collaboration with Guy BAUDELLE, Clément Marinos, and Louis-Thibault BURON. We hope this work contributes to the ongoing discussions on regional development and the future of workspaces. #Research #Economy #RegionalDevelopment #CollaborativeSpaces #COVID19 #Publication Regional Studies Association Laboratoire Metis EM Normandie

16 to 22 September 2024 is TU Delft’s ‘Week of Urban Mobility’. To mark the occasion, we are resharing recent and related Research Stories. Today: a short #commute makes people happy. Daily commuting contributes to people's well-being, provided the necessary #travel time is not excessive. That’s what PhD candidate Yinhua Tao showed with his PhD research. Planners should therefore design compact cities with lots of mixed functions. Tao: “After all, urban planning is all about people.” Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/eKZRTgjD
