spatial segregation

Free spaces vs socio-spatial segregation: an UIA-Masterplan for Tor Sapienza

In the Italian cities, inequalities, conflicts and related forms of social and spatial segregation are increasing by drawing areas that are even more difficult to design through the traditional urban planning tools. The need of identifying effective ways to intervene in increasingly complex situations – in which urban areas with exasperated forms of degradation, abuse and abandonment prevail – suggested to analyze contexts of structural conflict such as Palestine, to recognize and treat forms of spatial segregation present in some strongly degraded peripheries of Rome.

On the limit configuration of four species strongly competing systems

We analysed some qualitative properties of the limit configuration of the solutions of a reaction–diffusion system of four competing species as the competition rate tends to infinity. Large interaction induces the spatial segregation of the species and only two limit configurations are possible: either there is a point where four species concur, a 4-point, or there are two points where only three species concur. We characterized, for a given datum, the possible 4-point configuration by means of
the solution of a Dirichlet problem for the Laplace equation.

Social inequalities in the metropolitan area of Rome. A multidisciplinary analysis of the urban segregation of the "formerly-bastogi" compound

Background. Lo studio vuole valutare, attraverso un approccio multidisciplinare, la relazione tra struttura urbana, isolamento e distribuzione dei cosiddetti Deter-minanti Sociali di Salute, nell’area chiamata “formerly-Bastogi”, un complesso edilizio con più di 1.500 abitanti, nella zona nord-ovest della città di Roma. Metodi. L’analisi architettonica/urbanistica, portata avanti con sopralluoghi e valutazioni delle fonti ur-banistiche, mostra come il complesso sia isolato dal quartiere, e strutturalmente degradato.
