Territory Multidimensional Modeling

Territory Multidimensional Modeling and City Planning Decision Support Tool for non-temporary settlements (2016-2019)

What the recent disastrous earthquake in central Italy brought in the light together with the failure of the policies for housing the immigrants is that emergency is not a temporary status anymore. On the contrary, temporary solutions are becoming the rule in modern society so that it is becoming hard to tell the difference between what is temporary and what is not. Therefore, it is not surprising that one of the most important requirements in projects nowadays is flexibility together with adaptability. Moreover, Emergency necessarily becomes the first phase of a long-term project and in some cases a long-term project itself. Finally, the convergence of new advances in digitalization and access to best available data has created a unique opportunity to imagine alternative tools for urban planning and design and apply them for the practice re-definition. These facts have motivated me to do research on territory modeling and alternative management into urban development scenarios and to analyze the issue of temporality in urban planning, which scholars and policy-makers are still unable to precisely define and measure, despite the criticality of the concept in the current academic and regulatory debate.
