“…Nowadays, growing environmental issues lead to the creation of more resilient socioecological systems and urban areas [26], causing a new functionalist reductionism [27] in urban planning and design. New social requirements lead to an increasing number of indicators, standards, and certifications in professional practices [28].…”

The paper aims to evaluate criteria for appraising the existing urban transformation projects in view of the social dimension of sustainability. Within the case study of the recovery project of “G. Prandina” barrack in Padua, north-east of Italy, the paper compares two different Italian rating systems to evaluate neighborhood sustainability: “GBC Quartieri” and “ITACA Scala Urbana”. The GBC Quartieri rating system, with a point scheme, allots credits for neighborhood design features, and integrates the environment, infrastructures, and buildings for the creation of sustainable communities with a relationship net and a pre-existence connection. The “ITACA Scala Urbana” procedure consists of a multicriteria evaluation of the environmental sustainability and the compilation of a group of worksheets, one for each different internal performance indicator. The results show the main differences and analogies among the different tools, and this analysis confirms that new neighborhood protocols originating from building rating systems dedicate little space to social aspects and to the concept of inclusion, instead of the newly developed neighborhood protocols. Through this examination, the research can also conclude that the identification of common macro-areas is present, which highlights the different levels of importance given to the various features connected to social sustainability in neighborhood transformation.

“…In Latin America, the virus is already active in every nation (Johns Hopkins University 2020). It is expected to amplify socio-economic inequality in this region (CEPAL 2020) and especially to affect the most vulnerable populations, characterised by precarious jobs, low-income households, overcrowded housing, and poor living conditions that make working from home impossible (Bianchetti, Boano, and di Campi 2020;CEPAL 2020;Dávila 2020;Févre and Tacoli 2020;Ortiz and Boano 2020;Vergara-Perucich and Boano 2020). According to Annie Wilkinson, to avoid a catastrophe in sectors that are already socially vulnerable, the decisions of the authorities in managing the pandemic will be of key importance, but also crucial is understanding the pre-existing vulnerability of communities (Wilkinson 2020).…”

This article identifies the spatial correlation between the social determinants of health in the housing area (housing prices, overcrowding, poor-quality building materials, and household socioeconomic vulnerability) and the spread of COVID-19 in Santiago de Chile. The research used data from the 2017 Census conducted by the National Institute of Statistics of Chile and data on confirmed cases of COVID-19 (PCR) by communes provided by/obtained from Chile’s Ministry of Health. The article provides a two-fold examination/analysis of the spatial correlation using the Pearson measure to observe how the virus spread from areas with high-quality housing in the early stage of the contagion to then become concentrated in areas with low-quality of housing. The second examination/analysis is a multiple linear regression to identify the housing factors that inform virus propagation. The test results show that of the four social determinants of health relating to housing assessed here, housing prices is the variable that best predicts how the social determinants of health based on housing explain the progress of the pandemic for the Santiago case, following the collinearity factors according to the data used in this study. The conclusions suggest that public policy should treat housing quality as a factor in public health and health risks that needs to be addressed with a transdisciplinary approach to urban planning in Chile.

Fragility and Antifragility in Cities and Regions

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Fragility is the outcome of a set of aspects related to and dependent on environmental, social, economic, political and institutional factors that require specific interpretation skills and novel operational attitudes (Chiffi and Curci, 2019) and that can manifest themselves in very different situations, places and environments. Fragility can characterise isolated environments, with resources that appear scarce or non-existent, or with a strong imbalance with respect to neighbouring and competing places that conversely appear dynamic and robust; it also characterises abandoned places or, on the contrary, those subject to the wear and tear of excessive pressures, as well as places exposed to known or unexpected risks. Therefore, they can all be fragile: the inland areas of the Apennines; abandoned Alpine valleys; many intermediate territories of the Po Valley and the valleys and plains of southern Italy; the coasts of unauthorised building and environmental degradation; the slopes exposed to serious instability phenomena; some suburbs or historical centres; large monofunctional settlements affected by abandonment and fragmentation, by the impoverishment of the social fabric and by conflicts. 1 But fragilities can also emerge and become evident in very robust, central and accessible places, affected by dynamic and seemingly vigorous economies: in the inner suburbs of a metrop-1
