Purpose: The paper aims to assess the impact and responses to coronavirus disease 2019 in six European heritage labs (Horizon 2020 Framework Programme) selected for their adaptive heritage re-use practices based on participation, self-organisation and self-management. As they are naturally oriented towards building resilient urban systems, the hypothesis is that the co-production of cultural values and places promoted by these projects could create the conditions for equitable perspectives of resilience in the normality of contemporary urban life. Design/methodology/approach: The paper draws on data collected through a survey of six European Living Labs between January and May 2021. The survey results are framed by a literature review that defines adaptive reuse in terms of resilience. The five resilience characteristics described by Judith Rodin (awareness, diversification, integration, self-regulation and adaptability) are used to navigate the literature and organise the survey results. Findings: Combining survey results and insights from the literature, some modes and elements (territorial, social, financial) are presented that contribute to creating the conditions for resilience through adaptive heritage reuse according to community-based approaches. Without claiming to be exhaustive, this evidence should be considered in the design phase of resilience programmes, policies or projects related to cultural heritage. Originality/value: The concepts of community and resilience are becoming increasingly important in the field of cultural heritage. This paper makes a creative contribution to the ongoing debate by presenting and evaluating the contribution of adaptive reuse practices to resilience building. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Starting from the relationship between urban planning and mobility management, TeMA has gradually expanded the view of the covered topics, always remaining in the groove of rigorous scientific in-depth analysis. This section of the Journal, Review Notes, is the expression of continuously updating emerging topics concerning relationships between urban planning, mobility and environment, through a collection of short scientific papers written by young researchers. The Review Notes are made of four parts. Each section examines a specific aspect of the broader information storage within the main interests of TeMA Journal. In particular, the Urban Practices section aims at presenting recent advancements on relevant topics that underline the challenges that the cities have to face. This note provides an overview of the challenges that global warming poses and the risks in terms of climate change that it generates for territories and cities, with a specific focus on the extreme heat phenomenon. The challenges that adaptation to extreme heat events commonly faces are outlined, and a brief review of international case studies is carried out. Finally, the results of the review are discussed highlighting some key threads of extreme heat events adaptation practices and three significant examples of adaptation in urban areas are reported, within a perspective of integration and sharing of know-how on the topic.

This article studies the potential of historical reenactment festivals as an increasingly popular hobby and way of life that revives the history and identity of medieval cities through crafts, costumes, and customs. Participation in these festivals educates people about the historical significance of their city and promotes community participation. Even though Veliky Novgorod can provide favorable conditions for large-scale events, there are no targeted projects for the development of historical reconstruction there yet. The resurgence of historical festivals after the decline caused by COVID-19 highlights the need for suitable venues to integrate re-enactments into Novgorod's event calendar. These events provide educational benefits through practical, live historical presentations and aim to balance historical accuracy and entertainment value. Historical reconstruction festivals can bring different benefits to the cities being cultural holidays and tools for urban regeneration, improving the global image of the city. Successful integration of historical reenactment festivals into the city's event agenda requires balancing the needs of redevelopers, the host city, and the local population.

Urbanity and Gender: what displaces a walking body? – This article explores the relation between body and urban displacement from an intersectional feminist perspective. Based on recent studies on urbanity and gender – feminisms, art and public space – we will analyze modern and contemporary artistic practices in the city, considering the friction between gendered bodies and the city. The aim is to discuss the displacement that certain bodies establish when walking freely through the urban space.

Contemporary cities are dealing with practices and processes that mark not only a radical physical transformation, but also a profound anthropological, cultural, and political transformation of living. In this sense, we are witnessing some transformations in government and political life that are strictly connected to the affirmation of the neoliberal model of development. On the other hand, we are witnessing a progressive development not only of active citizenship, but of forms of mutualism and self-organization. In some cases, they are dictated by the need to respond to social needs and aspirations for a better quality of urban life, which are not answered by the appointed subjects. In others, they are the expression of the effort to build alternative models of development and collective life, becoming nowadays the place where to produce political culture. It is interesting to notice the recent evolution both towards structured and supra-local cooperative and mutualism networks, and towards collaborative forms of self-management in some neighborhoods. Interesting possibilities for innovation also seem to emerge for politics, including collaborative forms that envisage the constitution of substantive informal democracy, a sort of self-produced territorial democracy. The contribution intends to discuss the complex of these problems, referring above all to experiences in the Roman context and critically evaluating the possible effective conditions for the development of forms of self-produced territorial democracy.

Whereas Venice (Italy) has been extensively analysed through the lens of tourism, little has been written so far regarding the resistance practices emerging due to increasing tourism-led gentrification. This paper presents two examples of housing initiatives taking place in the historic city and its neighbouring lagoon islands. The first, promoted by a collective actor (Assemblea Sociale per la Casa), concerns the selection, occupation, and self-restoration of public dwellings located in the historic city; the second, an individual choice made by some citizens, concerns moving to the small lagoon islands as not simply a form of displacement, but as a resistance mechanism against the progressive expansion of the tourism industry into the lagoon margins. Drawing on Annunziata and Rivas-Alonso's work, the aim of this contribution is to provide an interpretation of such initiatives as examples of resistance practices in gentrifying contexts, and to enrich the literature on resisting gentrification by stressing their informal, invisible, and ambiguous nature.

Starting from the relationship between urban planning and mobility management, TeMA has gradually expanded the view of the covered topics, always remaining in the groove of rigorous scientific in-depth analysis. During the last two years a particular attention has been paid on the Smart Cities theme and on the different meanings that come with it. The last section of the journal is formed by the Review Pages. They have different aims: to inform on the problems, trends and evolutionary processes; to investigate on the paths by highlighting the advanced relationships among apparently distant disciplinary fields; to explore the interaction’s areas, experiences and potential applications; to underline interactions, disciplinary developments but also, if present, defeats and setbacks. Inside the journal the Review Pages have the task of stimulating as much as possible the circulation of ideas and the discovery of new points of view. For this reason, the section is founded on a series of basic’s references, required for the identification of new and more advanced interactions. These references are the research, the planning acts, the actions and the applications, analysed and investigated both for their ability to give a systematic response to questions concerning the urban and territorial planning, and for their attention to aspects such as the environmental sustainability and the innovation in the practices. For this purpose, the Review Pages are formed by five sections (Web Resources; Books; Laws; Urban Practices; News and Events), each of which examines a specific aspect of the broader information storage of interest for TeMA.

The article deals with the city from social order in classical social theories to the modern concepts. The social order is one of the main problems of social sciences. There are two explanations of society: a social-centered one wich starts from Parsons's works, and a society as a product of human beings from Weber's theory etc. Author of thr article starts with the theory of Georg Simmel, the mechanistic theory of Mumford Lewis, the idea of labor division of Durkheim and the city as a product of the culture by Max Weber. The author analyzes the urban reality of Henri Lefebvre, the society of Guy Debord's performance and the opposition of strategy and tactics in the cities of Michel de Serto. The concept of «social order» refers to certain restrictions, prohibitions and controls in public life; implies the existence of relationships in society; includes an element of predictability and recurrence in public life; mean a certain coherence of the components of social life; indicates stability, more or less long-term preservation of its shape. On the basis of rethinking urban life, there are attempts to understand the social order, which is related to the ideas of ethnomethodology. The goal of the work is to detail the concept of the city in the context of the constitution and functioning of the social order and to describe the grounds for the development of this aspect in the ethnomethodology of Harold Garfinkel and his followers. The author of the article thinks that the understanding of the city through the prism of the social order, its principles and characteristics is the important part of contemporary social science. Without an explanation of the mechanisms constituted by the society, it is not possible to be a part of it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article aims at recovering the historical evolution of an urban reality - premodern streets from Iași from the second half of the 18th century. The study includes an analysis of the two main components of the premodern street tram - spatial and social functions. The first approach the classic urbanistic perspective - treats the history of streets as physical/geographic places, focusing on the formation, function, evolution and transformation of streets. The other approach is represented by the social history perspective, where the street is a place for social interaction. Streets, both as a unit of urban space and as a public environment for social interaction, are an essential element for understanding European urbanity. The streets remained the place of most human activity, bringing together the spatial and social qualities of city life. This research shows that street life is an area of study which specifically sets out to make a cross between the physical and the social functions and to prove the nature of interdependence of the two components.

Among the public policies in support of nature in urban areas developed since 2007 in the wake of the Grenelle de l’environnement (Environmental Round Table), the measures encouraging city dwellers to garden in public spaces constitute an innovative form of governance. These policies institutionalise gardening as a "tactic" and consist of the exceptional authorisation of amateur gardening in public spaces. The condition for such an authorisation lies in the calibration of these gardening initiatives and, paradoxically, in their informal nature. This incentive for the urban dweller introduces the individual as an element impacting the transformation of the city and raises questions concerning the role of designers. This article uses data from a database of eighteen French cities where such initiatives have been in existence since 2004. It aims to define the general outlines of these incentive-based policies to analyse the challenges faced and to conduct an initial review.

Waste picking is an old practice, whereby profit is gained by recovering recyclable materials from discarded objects and reintroducing them into the formal and informal economic circuits. Recycling and recovery of waste in urban centres in the Global South has been the subject of a number of studies. However, this activity also exists in more affluent cities. Based on research carried out in Turin (Italy) and Marseille (France), in this paper we analyse waste picking by Roma communities, showing that this activity not only provides them with an income from the sale of recycled objects and materials but also allows them to assemble their access to the city and its multiple resources –people, objects, spaces. Only the recognition of the Roma as workers and citizens beyond any imposed normalisation can bring about a change in the way their being-in-the-city is considered both at a social, economic and political level.

The ambition of this article is to explain the “manufacture” of a new city emerged in the last twenty years on the outskirts of the Algerian city of Constantine. From the example of the new city Mendjeli Ali, this work tries to put the focus on the contribution of private actors, ordinary citizens and tradespeople, the production of space trying to overcome the previous simplistic approaches leading to realize more or less faithfully and obediently official objectives of the administration responsible for urban policy. It pays special attention to microbial practices spaces, to games of inhabitants representations and to modes of living by focusing on the fine scale of the neighborhood and the temporality of everyday.

It pays special attention to microbial practices spaces, to games of inhabitants representations and to modes of living by focusing on the fine scale of the neighborhood and the temporality of everyday. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Through the presentation of two case studies this paper aims to engage the theoretical debate on the persistence of public space in the contemporary city, and focuses the attention on the way people practice these spaces and on the policies which are regulating their uses. Starting from the description of different ways in which some urban spaces in Rome (Italy) are used by two different communities of people, one mainly composed by immigrants and the other by young city users, and the diverse ways in which their different practices are seen and tolerated, the aim of this paper is to reflect on public spaces. Observing how city users practice public spaces, and analysing the way in which these practices are considered, are particularly exciting perspectives that can offer an interesting vision of the spatial and social reality of the city and of hegemonic relations which govern it.
