“…The first group of studies focuses on the industrial and post-industrial territories in which small and medium enterprises and then the "pocket multinationals" were born and developed (Fua, Zacchia 1983, Garofoli 1991, Becattini et al 2009, Calafati 2009, Lanzani et al 2016, Bianchetti 2019.…”

The Italian debate concerning the relationship between cities and inner areas polarized around a few dichotomous - and somehow simplifying - positions. On the one hand exists the rhetoric addressing the ``villages'', intended as remote places to re-inhabit, escaping from the pandemic. On the other hand is the narrative of the metropolis, envisioned as a place-fulcrum from which to start again -- following the already-known patterns of growth and concentration -- despite the fragilities made explicit by Covid. In order to overcome these juxtaposed approaches, our work wants to shed light on the importance of ``intermediate territories'' intended as priority places to rethink within a new geography of marginality. In Italy, such intermediate territories, named \emph{Italia di mezzo}, occupy half of the national surface and host more than half of the population. Moreover, they embody extremely articulated geography: they include portions of twentieth-century urbanization (such as coastal settlements, industrial districts, various traits of ``città diffusa''), medium-sized cities with different administrative and functional centrality levels, sectors of metropolitan belts and a substantial share of rural areas in plains and hills. Faced with the radical risks and uncertainties that characterize the contemporary condition, it is essential to take care of these territories not only because they urgently need investments aimed at solving forgotten critical issues (from the necessary reconversion of production chains to the impact of climate change). These territories can also play a strategic positive role in the face of crisis phenomena thanks to their characteristics of elasticity and plasticity. If we look at them from a relational point of view - and not only from a topological one - these intermediate territories can play the role of two-sided ``intermediaries'' and ``hinges.'' On the one hand, they can be prepared to provide assistance and support to the inner and less densely populated areas; on the other hand, by taking advantage of their infrastructural and social capital, they can offer decongesting opportunities for most polluted metropolitan areas and more accessible living and working conditions.

“…Il cammino ha riguardato Biella e Ivrea, che segnarono la storia industriale tessile, meccanica ed elettronica dell'Italia e, dalla seconda metà dell'800, sono stati culla di culture aziendali con elevati standard abitativi e di welfare materiale che disegnarono con sapienza anche il territorio. Dagli anni '70 del '900 qui è in corso la dismissione di tale diffuso patrimonio industriale, a cui si accompagnano dinamiche di contrazione demografica (Secchi, Boeri, 1990;Olmo, 2001;Cerruti But, 2015;Bianchetti, 2019) A fianco però è presente un tessuto economico e sociale vivace, che riprende la manifattura in chiave innovativa, e genera nuove filiere creative e diverse forme di turismo, sollecitato tra l'altro dal richiamo dovuto ai riconoscimenti Unesco di Ivrea Città industriale del XX secolo nel 2018 e di Biella Città creativa nel 2019. La summer school ha avuto inizio con gli ex lanifici biellesi ai quali l'amministrazione locale e il privato sociale cercano di ridare vita promuovendo la cultura della lana (associazione Amici della lana) e istituendo nuove fucine d'arte e formazione imprenditoriale (rispettivamente Fondazione Pistoletto e Fondazione Sella).…”

Through summer schools, the Laboratorio del cammino proposes a learning method based on the direct and slow experience of walking. After a period in which the pandemic prevented teaching in presence, this approach was considered even more valuable. It combines and does not replace a digital experience with one of proximity, making it possible to compare what is visible when crossing a territory with what is seen from afar. The article reports the participation in the 2021 edition of the summer school, focused on the industrial and territorial contraction of north-eastern Pied- mont. Moving around and staying in the area made it possible to reveal an articulation of open spaces that make up the countryside, which is thus highlighted concerning an image obscured by the factory. Themes and problems of agricultural and silvo-pastoral shrinkage emerge, and initiatives take care of the territory.

“…This paper aims to discuss how, si scopre altrettanto unidimensionale: la città come luogo del consumo. In questi luoghi si mettono in mostra la tensione e l'attrito prodotto dall'incompatibilità tra due mondiindustriale e postindustriale -che ostentano il proprio distacco (Bianchetti, Kerçucu, Llevat Soy, 2019). Il caso di Torino è esemplare di questo processo after the end of the first post-Fordist cycle, decommissioned spaces accommodate not only residential or tertiary practices as in the thirty-year neoliberal era, but also new productive functions.…”

The strong processes of economic repositioning that the West experienced in the last decades of the 20th century with the transition from the industrial economy to the so-called “enrichment economy” led to the emergence of new project themes within the territorial disciplines. The decommissioning of large industrial areas is seen by the design culture as an opportunity to re-found cities through new policies and new design devices. The case of Turin is exemplary of this process in Italy. A city that symbolises Italian Fordism, from the 1980s onwards it was invested by an incremental process of large industrial areas abandonment due to the crisis of mass production. This paper aims to discuss how, after the end of the first post-Fordist cycle, decommissioned spaces accommodate not only residential or tertiary practices as in the thirty-year neoliberal era, but also new productive functions. It does so with a descriptive approach, recounting the change in Turin’s production system and describing three exemplary cases of the new productive Turin: the new Pirelli in Settimo Torinese, Lavazza and the new Manufacturing Centre in Mirafiori. In this process we seem to be able to discern a paradigm shift in the design of the contemporary city, which does not deny but welcomes productive practices. However, this new model of the productive city in the West urgently needs to redefine visions, imaginaries and practices of the contemporary project.
