  • Case Study of Genoa (Italy)
    Unità di progetto Piano Urbano della Mobilità e Trasporti email:[email protected] Integration and regulatory structures in public transport GENOA’S CASE STUDY PROPOSAL GENOA, MAY 2003 1) General information on the case study “Brief description of the case studies” - General statistics on the case study: Brief description of the metropolitan city of Genoa The city lies mainly on a 30 km long and narrow coastal plain extending through few narrow valleys (along rivers of torrential character) into the western steep slopes (reaching 1200 m high) of the Apennine Mountains. The transport system in the city of Genoa is strongly influenced by the complex orography of the region, a narrow territory between the mountain and the sea; therefore the traffic is forced to flow through limited routes across densely populated areas, with just two relevant traffic infrastructures connecting the eastern and the western areas of the city: the “sopraelevata” and the “pedemontana”, respectively built long the coastline and halfway up the hill. Area size and population: - The urban core area is only 28 Km2 and in this live 284.287 inhabitants - The agglomeration area has an extension of 239 Km2 and in this live 621.780 inhabitants - The total area has a population of 893.259 inhabitants with a total area of 1.836 Km2 • Public transport usage In the Council area is estimate a total mobility in a day of 1.800.000 trips, with a mobility index of 3 trips/inhabitants. In the follow scheme is represented the total flux of the mobility (public and private) in the total area which include the all agglomeration area.

  • The Palm Landscapes of the Italian Riviera Pietro Piana, Charles Watkins and Ross Balzaretti University of Nottingham
    The Palm Landscapes of the Italian Riviera Pietro Piana, Charles Watkins and Ross Balzaretti University of Nottingham Abstract Palm trees are today a characteristic feature of tropical tourist landscapes around the world from Caribbean to the Maldives. They are also a distinctive element of Mediterranean landscapes. On the Italian Riviera they are frequently found in the grounds of villas and hotels, at railway stations and in public squares. This paper examines the changing landscapes of the palm trees of the Italian Riviera over the last 300 years. Palms, particularly Phoenix dactylifera, were an important element of the local economy cultivated especially for palm fronds to be sold for religious festivals. The widespread presence of palm trees gave stretches of the Ligurian coast an almost tropical character, especially around Bordighera and San Remo. These coastal towns became major health resorts in the late nineteenth century and international tourists and residents celebrated this exotic landscape. The palms became important subjects for amateur and professional artists and photographers and they proliferated in gardens, as street trees and in horticultural collections. They became signature trees for these wealthy therapeutic landscapes but rapid building development and the decline of the palm trade means that only fragments of the old palm plantations remain today and these are in need of careful conservation. Keywords: Palm trees, Liguria, landscape, British travellers, Topographical Art Introduction Trees and vegetation have always had a major role in the characterization and visual perception of the landscape. Their distribution, density, shape and size reveals much about cultural and physical associations between people and the landscape (Watkins 2014).

Willett Prof. Vincenzo Picotti Prof. Sean F. Gallen Prof. Dr. Frank J. Pazzaglia 2020 2019 Abstract Mountainous landscapes reflect the competition between denudation, uplift, and climate, which produce, modify, and destroy relief and topography. Bedrock rivers are dynamic topographic features and a critical link between these processes, as they record and convey changes in tectonics, climate, and sea level across the landscape. River incision models, such as the stream power model, are often used to quantify the relationship between topography and rock motion in the context of landscapes at steady state.

Genoa had hosted the 1882 International Columbus Expo: a cluster of ephemeral pavilions was then erected on a vacant land, located between the City centre and the modern western expansions, that had to wait fifty more years to be fully built and get a complete urban appearance. The Expo designation was received with a mix of relief and frustration. An international exhibition has always been an important vehicle of promoting the image of a city in terms of attractiveness and efficiency; more than ever in the Eighties, when European cities were experimenting hard competition.

Lunardi, G. Cassani, M. Gatti, B. Spigarelli & C.L. Zenti Rocksoil S.p.A., Milan, Italy ABSTRACT: In today’s world of rapid environment changes, increasing urbanization and vulnerability, it is very crucial to embed the concept of resilience into the development plan- ning of our cities in order to have a sustainable development. Planning a city without a robust resilience strategy to cope from disasters is equivalent to wasting resources and putting people, infrastructure, assets and economy at risk. Resilience is the ability of a system, com- munity or society exposed to hazards to resist, absorb, accommodate, adapt to, transform and recover from the effects of a hazard in a timely and efficient manner. The Bisagno Valley has been historically affected by a number of flood events, which became particularly frequent in the last decade. This is mainly due to the urbanisation of the valley since the 1950s and the recent climate changes, with increased flash flood events. The paper describes the approach used on the Bisagno Diversion Tunnel Project Management, which involved stakeholder rela- tionships and integration at different levels, institutional frameworks and partnerships amongst all urban stakeholders, particularly planner architects, engineers, disaster and risk reduction management specialists, private sector, and communities to address risk reduction and resilience in a holistic manner. Risk reduction and resilience building save lives, enhance social and economic development, and provide equitable, prosperous and sustainable urban development.

Lunardi Lunardi Geo-Engineering, Milan, Italy G. Cassani & A. Bellocchio Rocksoil S.p.A., Milan, Italy N. Meistro COCIV, Genoa, Italy ABSTRACT: The new high speed/capacity Milan to Genoa rail line will improve railway con- nections between the Liguria port system with the main railway lines of Northern Italy and the rest of Europe. The project is part of the Rhine-Alpine Corridor, which is one of the corridors of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T core network) connecting Europe’smost populated and important industrial regions. The Rhine-Alpine Corridor constitutes one of the busiest freight routes of Europe, connecting the North Sea ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp to the Mediterranean basin in Genoa, via Switzerland and some of the major economic centres in the Rhein-Ruhr, the Rhein-Main-Neckar, regions and the urban agglomeration in Milan, Northern Italy. The new high speed/capacity rail line will be 53 km long, of which 39 km in tunnels. The new line will be connected to the existing line through four interconnections, 14 km long. The construction started in April 2012 and the completion of the six sections is scheduled for April 2021. The adopted excavation methods are conventional (ADECO RS) and mechan- ized. The paper will describe this complex project from a design point of view for both excava- tion methods, conventional and mechanized.
