DALLA BIBBIA AL GIARDINO ALL’ITALIANADOPO 50 ANNI DI STANDARD URBANISTICI IN ITALIAINDEXAPRIL 2019│ 3IN THIS ISSUEAPRIL 2019Dear Reader,following the publication of the Strategic Plan of the Politecnico di Torino “Polito4Impact” along with the Strategic Plan of Università di Torino, all the Departments within the Athenaeums have been asked to follow this stream and work on the preparation of their specific strategic plan. Therefore, in January 2019 the Director of DIST, prof. Giulio Mondini, announced that the Department would begin its process of developing the DIST Strategic Plan for the period 2019-2024. In introducing this process, the Director empha-sised the importance of this document, as it will identify the Department’s mission, vision, and values that will guide the Department over the next five years. The pursuit of excellent and relevant science in education and re-search, as it has been recently recognised through the award of Department of Excellence by MIUR (the Italian Ministry for University), is and will remain DIST’s core ambition. This strategy further builds on the successful strategic line the department set out in its previous Strategic Plan. By continuing along this chosen path, DIST aspires to strengthen and expand its national and in-ternational status of scientific excellence and, at the same time, remaining relevant for all the stakeholders of the territory. Therefore, this Strategic Plan will be focused on further consolidating the quality of the department’s research, education and third mission, reinforcing its profile and gathering together high profile researchers in multidisciplinary collaborations. In order to achieve these objectives, the Plan has involved and will be engaging all the members of DIST in submitting ideas, staying up-to-date and attending events. The final document will be probably shared with all the department community in Autumn 2019. Concerning this current issue, you will be updated, as usual, on seminars, conferences, workshops and research projects that have been carried out during the latest months at DIST. In particular, I would like to draw your atten-tion on the most “concerning” topic that is strongly affecting our present and future life: climate change. Two research projects are dealing with the ef-fects of climate change on two different territories, Africa and European Alps. ANADIA 2 is a three-year research-action project for adaptation to climate change, disaster prevention and agricultural development in Niger, while the second projects deal with the Effects of climate change on winter tourism in Monterosa resort and adaptation measures. Dealing with sustainability, the Horizon 2020 project, SCORE - Supporting Consumer Co-ownership in Renewable Energies, aims at promoting the transition from fossil fuels to re-newable energy (RE)sources. Finally, May 2 2019 marks the 500th anniversa-ry of Leonardo’s death in Amboise, France, and this milestone is celebrated all over the world. Among these flurry of activities, DIST provides its con-tribution thanks to the research project Leonardo and the Piedmont which will be focused on the study of all the references to Piedmont contained in Leonardo’s sheets. Hoping you enjoy reading the issue,best regardscostanzo.mercugliano@polito.it│ 37SeminarBLUE/GREEN SOCIO_TECHNICAL ENGAGEMENTDIST at the Turin stormwater resilience international workshopNew Orleans is one of the contemporary hot spot on last generation urban stormwater management strategies: as “delta city”, Katrina hurricane im-pressive damnages led to a quick acceleration on sharing necessity to man-age urbanized area as blue/green built environement, not only as an engi-neering giant hydraulic mecanoo. In this framework, the Greater New Orleans Urban WaterPlan it’s a paragmatic example of strategic approach of the ur-ban area in its regional context, focused on water resiliency.In that plan, hard-tech and soft-tech solutions are linked by integrated ap-proach, i.e. a comprehensive vision on planning, urban design, technological detailing, as a solution for water management in extreme condition.This approach is intended as an upload as Water Sensitive Design paradigm, also for the role of cityzens: in New Orleans they are not involved in partecipa-tory design approach, moving by general level of information; they are engaged in a co-creation process, starting from sharing proto-scientific knowledge, through different forms of communication (including artistic interpretation).The process is focused on the holistic approach on the link between storma-ter management and open space re-design: it is called “Theory of Change for Community-Driven Climate Adaptation”.A lot of importance assumes the role of “Water Leaders”: i.e., a three-persons group (an architect, a social science expert, an academic expert) – not from the Municipality staff – as mediators in respect of che Community Leaders (choosen by inhabitants from the different neighbourhood). Four years ago the Municipality of Turin started with the realization of pi-lot projects on green infrastructures and porous pavements, integrated in street an open space re-design (“Urban Barriera” European Project. Water Sensitive Design academic responsible: Alessandro Mazzotta, Politecnico di Torino): it’s one of the first experience of Low Impact Development runoff strategies realization in an italian compact urbanized area. In Urban Barriera experience, citizens engagement actions was focused on general aspects of the neighbourhood open space livability, and not specifi-cally on the “innovative” technological solutions for open space environmen-tal resiliency. But this is a very important matter, of course, first of all for the people acceptance of environmental upload as materic signs – and, often, inusual, in the common perception – in the space of their everyday life. Obviously, the turinese area is not an “extreme condition” case study similar to New Orleans for those that regard the water asset, but the Munipality of Turin is interested in the social implication from the Luosiana lesson, in the perspective of characterize its future Climate Adaptation Urban Plan as a co-created urban planning instrument.TURIN STORMWATER RESILIENCE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP2019, 17th of January38 │ SeminarThe Turin stormwater resilience international workshop (2019, 17th of January) is one of the event organized by the Enviromental Sector of Municipality, in the framework of translatlantic cooperation guided by German Marshall Fund of the United States, to obtain best practices exchange from three italian cities: Bruxelles, Colonia and Turin itsels.During the workshop, presentations – by Tanya James (Planning and Evaluation Consultant and Executive Director of New Orleans Central City Renaissance Alliance) and Maggie Hermann (New Orleans Process Evaluator and reascher) – underlined corally a key-word: “fear”, by New Orleans inhab-itans for climate change, related to the hurricane disruption but still alive in the every-day perceptions, for example on common rainfall event. It means citizens distrust toward local public institutions.From this point of view, the role of academic experts as part of the “Water Leaders” as mediators seems to be an interesting starting point just for european cities: here the long-time invisibility of water cycle in urbanized areas, prevailing the engineering approach of underground drainage pipes, mean first of all cultur-al distance from the pervasiveness of the water cycle in urbanized areas. For the italian Higher University, moreover, this approach seems provide good premises to flow in the direction of resume links between the three academic missions of Universities: education, research and cultural disclosure.alessandro.mazzotta@polito.itDIPARTIMENTO INTERATENEO DI SCIENZEPROGETTO E POLITICHE DEL TRERRITORIOPOLITECNICO E UNIVERSITÀ DI TORINO NewDist - ISSN 2283-8791NEWSLETTER SEMESTRALE DELDIPARTIMENTO INTERATENEODI SCIENZE, PROGETTO E POLITICHE DEL TERRITORIOPOLITECNICO E UNIVERSITA’ DI TORINODirettore responsabileGiulio MondiniRedazioneCostanzo Mercugliano, Luisa MontobbioE-mail: costanzo.mercugliano@polito.itEditoreDIST, Politecnico e Università di TorinoViale Mattioli, 39 – 10125 TorinoTel.: (+39) 011 090 7456 – Fax: (+39) 011 090 7499www.dist.polito.it / dist@polito.itNEWSLETTERSEMESTRALEAPRIL 2019
