This is the message of the Global Report ‘Culture for Sustainable Urban Development’, which UNESCO has coordinated for the UN-HABITAT III Conference (Quito, October 2016). The Global Report shows that a promising culture-based vision of urban development is flourishing in different forms in several cities across the world. Even small and medium settlements located at the periphery of large cities or within their metropolitan areas, and normally associated with marginalisation or deprivation, have the potential to fully utilise their cultural resources, in both tangible (urban and architectural heritage, cultural infrastructure, etc.) and intangible form (skills, knowledge, competencies). However these small settlements, and their respective communities, require different analytical tools in order to understand their complexity and ad hoc policies to manage their assets in sustainable forms. This research report aims to show ways to understand culture and creativity in small settlements, by collecting a series of international case studies that form the backbone of the chapter 10 of the UNESCO Global Report on urban-rural linkages and titled 'Culture as a tool to achieve harmonious territorial development'. This can allow a wider dissemination of the theoretical underpinnings and the comparative findings of a research conducted during 2015 and 2016 by several research units all over the world. ix x CREATIVE SMALL SETTLEMENTS: A RESEARCH INTERNATIONALLY RELEVANT Giulio Verdini, University of Westminster THE CONTEXT OF THE RESEARCH The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development has acknowledged the central role of cities, towns and villages as a potential driver for achieving sustainable development. Among the seventeen SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) approved by the United Nations General Assembly in September 2015, Goal n.11 advocates for making cities more inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. At the same time, UNESCO has played an important role in recent years in placing culture at the centre of policies aiming to achieve sustainable patterns of urban development. This has materialised in the organisation of two International Conferences in Hangzhou, China, in 2013 and 2015, on the topic of 'Culture for Sustainable Cities', and the contextual preparation of the UNESCO Global Report 'Culture: Urban Future' for the United Nations HABITAT III Conference recently held in Quito, Ecuador, in October 2016, where the 'New Urban Agenda' (2016-2036) has been launched. The 'New Urban Agenda', which is the strategic document that will guide the urbanisation process of the next two decades, recognises the importance of culture and cultural heritage for the regeneration of cities and human settlements and for strengthening social participation and the exercise of citizenship (art. 38), with the explicit commitment to 'protect them from potential disruptive impacts of urban development' (art.124) (UN, 2016). During the implementation of the UNESCO Global Report, between 2013 and 2015, the discussions which took place among different research units involved have been particularly useful to redefine some of the concepts widely utilised in the international arena. Particularly important was the contribution of the Asia-Pacific and South American units, where the two editors of this research report were respectively involved in. In summary, the relevance of their contribution was primarily on challenging western notions of heritage, culture and creativity when applied to non-western contexts and, at the same time, on acknowledging the importance and the specificity of small settlements and marginal/rural regions in the global discourse of the creative cities. As a matter of fact, while the complex notion of culture reveals its huge potential when applied to urban studies, it shows also many contradictions for a variety of urban formations. On one hand, it is unquestionable that a new promising culture-based vision of urban development is flourishing in different forms in several cities across the world. However, some questions have arisen in the implementation of the Global Report mainly regarding the unilateral vision of city, which has been assumed for long time as representative of many heterogeneous areas of the world. The risk was to reiterate an urban-centred (and western- centred) vision of creative and culture-based development, overlooking many innovative initiatives happening at the micro-level territorial scale and/or in small settlements, which are normally located at the periphery of the most developed urban areas. The risk was also to endorse a naive vision of culture in less developed urban and rural areas (no matter if in Europe, USA or emerging countries), which is in the best scenario purely associated with traditional and therefore nostalgic manifestations of the past. 1 The rich discussion that predates the final conference in Hangzhou, in December 2015, have resulted in a concrete draft document eventually presented during the same conference (Verdini and Ceccarelli, 2015). As a result, the topic of culture in relationship to rural-urban linkages has been highlighted as one the priority outcomes of the Conference in the final declaration. Point 8 of the 'Hangzhou Outcomes' states that culture should contribute to the 'New Urban Agenda' through 'Enhanced rural-urban linkages: Fostering respect for the cultural value of small settlements and landscapes, and strengthening their relationship with cities (UNESCO, 2015). Small settlements have therefore gained momentum and this has generated the need to further enrich the Global Report with a dedicated report on this topic. This research report complements the Global Report and in particular the Chapter 10 on 'Enhanced

  • Rural Development Between “Institutional Spaces” and “Spaces of Resources and Vocations”: Park Authorities and Lags in Sicily
    TOPIARIUS • Landscape studies • 6 Concetta Falduzzi1 Doctor of Political and Social Science, Expert in local development policies Giuseppe Sigismondo Martorana1 M. Sc. In Law University of Catania, Department of Political and Social Science Rural development between “institutional spaces” and “spaces of resources and vocations”: Park Authorities and LAGs in Sicily Abstract This paper addresses the subject of the reference frames of territori- alisation processes determined by local development initiatives. Its purpose is to offer a survey on a central issue: which spatial frames of reference influence or justify the choices of LAGs in the defini- tion and delimitation of local development spaces. The paper is about the case of Sicily, presenting some possible in- terpretations of an evolution of the development space from “insti- tutional space” to “space of resources and vocations”. The paper will highlight the relation between the spaces of natural parks and the spaces of LAGs in the Participatory Local Development Strate- gies. Keywords: territorialisation, local development, LAGs, natural park, Participatory Local Development Strategies Introduction It has been argued [Martorana 2017] that the landscape resources are fundamental to the development of tourism in rural areas; that Park Authorities, as institutional bodies responsible for the environmental and landscape protection of 1, For the purpose of the attribution of the two Authors‟ contributions to this article, it is speci- fied that C.

  • BREAKING BARRIERS Giancarlo De Carlo from CIAM to ILAUD Lorenzo
    BREAKING BARRIERS Giancarlo De Carlo from CIAM to ILAUD Lorenzo Grieco Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata / University of Rome Tor Vergata, Rome, Italy Abstract After World War II, the inflexibility characterizing the first CIAM congresses soon become unsustainable, provoking the criticism of Team 10, active from 1953 for a reform of the congress. The participated discourse of the group, “considering the characteristics of society and individuals”, would be inherited, years later, by the International Laboratory of Architecture and Urban Design (ILAUD), founded by Giancarlo De Carlo in 1976. The laboratory, together with the magazine Spazio e Società (1978-2001), called back to De Carlo’s operative militancy in Team 10, expressing a brand-new approach to urban studies. As De Carlo himself affirmed: “Some messages of Team 10 have been gathered in ILAUD […] but ILAUD and Team 10 are different things”. Indeed, the laboratory strongly pushed on the dimension of the project and on the students’ collective contribution. The project was no more an end point but became the tool through which every possible solution to the problem could be tested. Courses at ILAUD were given by international professionals like Aldo Van Eyck, Peter Smithson, Renzo Piano, Sverre Fehn and Balkrishna Vithaldas Doshi, some already in Team 10. The laboratory formed many young students, and several would have become internationally-recognized professionals -e.g. Eric Miralles, Carme Pinos, Santiago Calatrava, Mario Cucinella-. The paper wants to consider the contribution of ILAUD to urban studies and didactics through the examination of the rich material (annual publications, posters, projects, photos, etc.) collected in the archive of the Biblioteca Poletti in Modena.
