Most apartments have 2-3 bedrooms, lounge, kitchen and bathroom. Bedrooms are typically double-occupancy. Each apartment is equipped with basic furnishings and supplies, including one single bed per student, bed linens and towels, closet/clothing storage space, typical basic Italian cookware and kitchenware, a table and chairs and furnished sitting area. Desks are to be shared by all occupants. Each student is expected to provide his/her own paper and cleaning products as well as replace light bulbs. All units are provided with a washing machine. All apartments are equipped with a personal computer (PC) and have unlimited, no additional cost access to the Internet as well as wireless access for those with wireless-ready laptops. A landline phone will be provided which will provide unlimited calls to landlines within Italy. Calls to cellular phones and calls outside of Italy incur additional cost and can be affected with the use of a calling card. Unlimited incoming calls may be received without incurring any additional cost. Computer and phone are shared among unit residents. (Please note: the apartment computer is not meant to serve as the primary academic support resource for the occupants; the university maintains a library and computer lab for these purposes.)

  • Rome: a New Planning Strategy
    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..

  • Il Municipio Xi (Già Xv) Di Roma. Il Sitar a Supporto Della Tutela Del Territorio
    Archeologia e Calcolatori Supplemento 7, 2015, 341-352 IL MUNICIPIO XI (GIÀ XV) DI ROMA. IL SITAR A SUPPORTO DELLA TUTELA DEL TERRITORIO 1. L’asse dell’antica via Portuense: inquadramento storico- topografico Il territorio del Municipio XI (già XV) – Arvalia Portuense – si inserisce nel quadrante S-occidentale del Comune di Roma ed occupa una lunga fascia che si estende per circa 20 km lungo la riva destra del fiume Tevere, dalle ultime propaggini del Monte Gianicolo sino al confine con il Comune di Fiumicino. Questo comparto territoriale si sviluppa radialmente dal centro verso la periferia, comprendendo al suo interno parte della città moderna, il cosid- detto quartiere Portuense, parte della città in espansione, i suburbi Portuense e Gianicolense, e parte del cosiddetto agro romano comprendente le zone Magliana Vecchia, La Pisana, Ponte Galeria e Tenuta di Malnome (Fig. 1). In quest’area, caratterizzata al contempo da realtà periferiche e su- burbane e da problematiche tipiche degli scavi urbani, la Soprintendenza è intervenuta in modo sistematico nella salvaguardia del territorio, avviando una serie di indagini conoscitive propedeutiche ai procedimenti di tutela, che si sono concluse in alcuni casi con l’apposizione del vincolo archeologico diretto. Da un punto di vista morfologico il territorio è occupato dai versanti più meridionali delle colline tufacee di Monteverde, che si affacciano sulla vasta piana alluvionale del Tevere 1. Proprio il Tevere con i suoi numerosi affluenti, i cosiddetti Fossi o Marrane che in questa zona sono particolarmente numerosi e fra i quali si distinguono per portata il Rio Galeria e il Fosso della Magliana, deve avere condizionato non poco le trasformazioni del paesaggio, nonché le dinamiche di sfruttamento e occupazione di questo settore del suburbio romano, che era attraversato da importanti assi viari quali le antiche vie Campana e Portuense.

  • Montreal to Electrify Busiest Bus Routes Introduction of Trolleybuses to Modernize Transit System
    Montreal to Electrify Busiest Bus Routes Introduction of Trolleybuses to Modernize Transit System Montreal’s transit operator STM is studying the conversion of up to fourteen of the city’s major bus routes from diesel to electric trolleybuses according to a November 5th report in the Montreal Gazette. The route 105, which operates on Sherbrooke Street to Notre Dame de Grace tops the list as a candidate for electrification with 17,000 riders per day, according to a preliminary analysis. The STM has said it will only buy electric buses by 2025 as it strives to cut pollution and greenhouse-gas emissions and match its transit operations to the 21st century. Battery-electric buses are still in their infancy, but trolleybuses rely on proven technology and are used around the world. Trolleybuses are non-polluting, quieter, and more comfortable than the diesel buses currently in use, says the Gazette, and adds that while they may be more expensive than diesel buses to buy, they last longer, require less maintenance and can be cheaper to operate. A more in-depth study, to be completed by December Spokane proposes Introduction of 2012, will identify the costs Trolleybuses to Serve Downtown associated with installing a trolleybus system on major The city of Spokane, Washington and Spokane Transit Authority have unanimously routes in Montreal.
