    a selected chapter from Rome: A New Planning Strategy by Franco Archibugi draft of a forthcoming book to be published by Gordon and Breach, New York an overview of this book CHAPTER 5: THE NEW STRATEGY FOR ROME 1. The "Catchment Areas" of the New "Urban Centres" 2. The Spatial Distribution of the Catchment Areas Table 2 - Catchment Areas of the Roman Metropolitan System (by thousands of inhabitants) 3. What decentralization of services for the new "urban centres"? 4. What "City Architecture"? 5. What Strategy for "Urban Greenery"? 6. Programmed Mobility 7. A "Metropolitan" Residentiality Notes References Further Reading THE NEW STRATEGY FOR ROME Authentic "polycentrism", therefore, is founded first of all on an evaluation of the "catchment areas" of the services that define it. The location of the centers and infrastructures of such services is a subsequent question (we would say "secondary" if with this adjective is meant not inferiority in importance, but rather a temporal and conceptual subordination). The polycentrism supported here in Rome means, first of all, a theoretical assignation of the potentiality of the catchment area of the Roman system to respective "units" of service that locationally assume the 1 role of realizing the objectives, reasserted by everybody numerous times of: integrating functions, improving accessibility, distances, traveling times, not exceeding the thresholds that have been indicated as "overloading". The locational problem of the new strategy therefore, is posed as a problem of not letting all the users participate in any function in any part of the system (the 2,8 million Roman citizens plus the by now recognized other 700 thousand citizens of the Roman "system"); but to functionally distribute the services in such a way as to not render "indifferent" (but on the contrary very..

  • Rome’S Public Art: What’S New, Prospective and Strategies Maurizio Anastasi*
    1 2 Public Art Summit “Strategies for Urban Public Art” New York, 17-18 February, 2005 Rome’s Public Art: what’s new, prospective and strategies Maurizio Anastasi* 1. Premise Facing issues that interact with the socio cultural aspects deeply rooted in the cities history is speaking of Public Art in Italy and Rome. The city cannot be dissociated by its evident historic roots or by the cultural heritage on which the cities art is based upon. Indeed the role of architecture and urban planning, at the core of the territories development in the aftermath of the war, cannot be underestimated. Urban art together with the street art and it’s artists is a western overseas heritage, nevertheless it has now days become part of us and our daily life, changing the citizens approach to art. Paintings and sculptures overwhelm museums and invade the streets where people accept and identify art as an enrichment of their souls and the environment. Indeed Rome and its history have disseminated Public Art in the world, the commonplaces of the city show a citizens day to day approach to art. 2. Historic Public Art The roman citizen does not notice the art that surrounds him, unless pointed out. Historic Public Art present in the central streets of Rome such as classic obelisks, horse shape statues and fountains witness the bond between the artistic development and the urban development of the city which spreads innovation. Two excellent examples are the “Barcaccia” of Bernini and the “Quattro Fontane” of Borromini1. * Maurizio Anastasi, architect, head of Cultural Section of the Technic Office of Rome.

  • Simulation of Urban Development in the City of Rome Framework, Methodology, and Problem Solving
    http://jtlu.org . 3 . 2 [Summer 2010] pp. 85–105 doi: 10.5198/jtlu.v3i2.154 Simulation of urban development in the City of Rome Framework, methodology, and problem solving Simone Di Zio Armando Montanari Chieti-Pescara G. d’Annunzio University a Rome Sapienza University b Barbara Staniscia Rome Sapienza University c Abstract: In Italy’s case, the implementation of the UrbanSIM model involved the territory of Rome, including the municipalities of Rome and Fiumicino. e main goal was to build scenarios regarding the future of economic deconcentration. Rome is the largest municipality in Europe, with an inhabited surface area only slightly smaller than that of Greater London and almost double that of the inner Paris suburbs (the Petite Couronne). e spatial distribution of buildings within the municipality is distinctive. Unbuilt areas comprise 73 percent of the territory. ese voids are oen farmland (paradoxically, Rome is the largest rural municipality in Italy) or areas with high environmental, historic or cultural value. Fiumicino, previously part of the municipality of Rome, became an independent municipality in 1991. Its autonomy, made all the more signicant because Fiumicino hosts the international airport, marked the start of an extensive process of economic deconcentration along the route connecting Rome to the airport. In Italy’s case, the implementation of the UrbanSIM model posed several challenges, notably the availability, homogeneity and completeness of data. is paper uses four specic cases (land use, travel times, accessibility, and residential land values) to propose a general methodology to solve problems related to missing or non-homogeneous data. For the land use, we simply combine two different land use data sources, while for accessibility and travel time data, we propose the use of geostatistical methods in order to estimate missing and unavailable data, calculating also the accuracy of the predictions.
