Re-imagining the city. Progettare il nuovo metabolismo urbano

[automatically translated] The cities hide the eyes of those who always look at how concentrated the ground rent or as generating financial gains their precious "resilience reserves", indispensable for those who want the look and design as a viable organisms evolving. Resilient cells to changes (landscape fragments, fragments infrastructure, neighborhoods a functional recycling, etc.) allow the city to hire more elastic shapes, less resistant to innovation and more adaptive, allowing it to activate processes that can manage more interacting problems, to engage the plurality of actors and diverse social archipelagos in the decisions, and to implement forms of governance able to balance the competition between cities within the metropolitan systems and to temper an increasingly broad and bitter conflict between visions, subjects, priorities and resources. And the resilience reserves to reactivate a more creative urban metabolism, intelligent and ecological are often concentrated in marginal areas excluded from the rhetoric of the turbo-development: the suburbs in transition, in industrial districts in restructuring, in port and railway areas under recycling infrastructure. Places - away from the powerhouses of compulsive urban model, soil and consumer resources - have been preserved community values, landscape and identity.
