In recent times, many infectious diseases have been spreading at an increasing scale and frequency. There is a common agreement in the literature that our cities should be prepared in the future to react promptly to epidemics, but the way in which this preparedness should be shaped is still an open question. This study aims to introduce a series of factors that should be taken into consideration in building a working framework to define and evaluate strategies for post-COVID cities. Through the use of the mutual learning methodology, this contribution draws on the concept of the epidemic prevention area (EPA) defined by the International Council on Monuments and Sites-China, in collaboration with other institutions, as an urban responding system to the COVID-19 epidemic, extracting its main factors and comparing them with two European post-COVID urban strategies: The Paris en Commun and Milano 2020. Research findings highlight that three factors—decentralization of facilities, hierarchization of the transport system and public services, and redundancy of public and semipublic functions—appeared to be particularly relevant in post-COVID cities, to promptly face future epidemic events, while improving their quality, equity, and resilience.

In the last decades, the ideology of managing the city form and performance through pre-determined plans has gradually lost its validity. Some contemporary urban planning theories suggest the application of smart design techniques for managing urban complexity. However, the proposed approach has partially been experienced in practice, and more research on how to integrate them into urban planning is needed. This study aims to present an insight into the rule-based design as a smart design technique for a shift from pre-determined urban plans to design rules. The methodology is based on a comparative analysis between the experiments of some cases in the north of Europe. Research findings highlight that the capacity to deliver variety with harmony, the distinction between the roles of code writer and building designer, the potential to support the implementation process and to prescribe specific qualities, both for the spatial and organizational purposes, are significant factors for the integration of smart design techniques to urban planning.

Purpose The considerable volume of rubble generated by the 2016–2017 earthquakes in central Italy reveals a significant issue in the post-disaster reconstruction phase. Drawing from the experience of Macerata province and the city of Camerino, the purpose of this paper is to explore a possible change of attitude in the reuse of heritage waste materials in the reconstruction process of damaged historical villages and towns in Italy. Design/methodology/approach This research outlines a comparison between national and regional directives on the rubble management on the one hand, and the praxis on the other, carrying out semi-structured interviews with experts who have been involved in the reconstruction process of Macerata province and Camerino, in Marche region. Findings The research reveals that the current vision in Italy for the management of disaster waste is still very close to the traditional paradigm that gives heritage waste an intrinsic value, worthy of great efforts for its collection, catalogue and preservation in view of the likely philological restoration of the damaged heritage. The most recent experiences in Camerino show that institutions responsible for the conservation of cultural heritage may accept a possible paradigm shift towards a more innovative and less expert-driven approach to heritage waste materials and their possible upcycling. Originality/value Within a critique of the traditional restoration paradigm, this article links disaster waste management to the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, to enhance the long-term sustainability of historical villages and towns in Italy.

Thanks to their strong evocative power, figures of speech—rhetorical expression that uses language in a nonliteral way—have always been part of the urban vocabulary, facilitating visions and urban projects. This chapter addresses the reasons for, and methods of using figures of speech in urban planning, using the Netherlands as a case study. The reading of the various rhetorical devices will be based on the proposed distinction—one of the many possible—between closed and open figures, that is between those figures based on the definition of shape or structure and those that instead express an open structure and a relational scheme. The figures will be described in terms of their specific characteristics, contexts and fields of action. This analysis recognises different historical tendencies in the use of figures in urban planning, strictly related to the specific need to manage or drive territorial transformations. Among the specifically Dutch-born figures, the patchwork metaphor will be analysed in depth, especially as proposed by Willem Jan Neutelings in his 1989 Patchwork Metropolis project, and further investigated in terms of the abstract model and its implicit meanings, related to a certain way of living and transforming the urban territory.

This chapter focuses on the definition of a vision for the metropolitan city of Florence required by recent planning reform in Italy. The forms of governance in place and the boundaries they assume are discussed in relation to the historical evolution of settlements and functional trends and their recognition and orientation through joint planning instruments at different levels (from joint inter-municipal studies to the Regional Landscape Plan). The actual strategic planning process that occurred in the metropolitan city of Florence is presented as a vision-making process based on regional design theories, in which different metaphorical narratives and representations are explicitly intended to enhance the strategic planning process by shaping the boundaries of the urban region and conceiving of a shared vision for its future spatial development.

The rediscovery of the functional and symbolic role of environmental networks, cycling and pedestrian paths, and open spaces, particularly in the urban realm, leads to an increasing sensitivity to the discontinuity of territories generated by the main mobility networks. Thus, an instance of domestication emerges, resulting in transformation strategies of large mobility infrastructures - or their portions - into multi-functional pedestrian spaces. However, pedestrianisation interventions have not been completely defined within a theoretical system that clearly establishes modes and conditions of implementation. This article aims to point out how the conditions of hierarchy constitute a supporting tool for controlling and verifying the project of pedestrianisation. The article focuses on a concrete case of modification of an urban road network: the transformation of a portion of an important distributor road in the urban area of Cagliari into a pedestrian space. This analysis uses the fundamental conditions of hierarchy as a tool to assess to what extent the modification of the road network articulation has resulted in conditions of lesser inter-connectivity, legibility and functionality.

In 1989 the young Dutch architect Willem Jan Neutelings, who had just left the Office for Metropolitan Architecture, was hired to develop a project for the area between Rotterdam and The Hague that was going to face, in the following years, a huge increase in population and activities. This part of the Dutch territory is located in between two urban areas but, at the same time, it is located in the middle of another construction known as the Randstad, in which the explosive growth of urban and suburban development has led to a singular blurring of the distinction between the city and the countryside. In this context Neutelings proposed his reinterpretation of the urban form called De Tapijtmetropool or ‘Patchwork Metropolis’. This essay will try to deconstruct Neutelings’ proposal in order to understand whether his “previsions” have actually had a real effect on the contemporary Randstad territorial configuration.
