Planning for the green transition through blue-collar workspaces? ‘Transecting’ industrial urbanism in the Milan-Bologna conurbation
This paper explores the transformation of productive spaces across urban regions challenged by the imperative of building carbon-neutral economies and places. Responding to a revived scholarly literature on re-urbanization and re-industrialization, in general, and the hypothesized new industrial urbanism, in particular, the discussion deploys a transect framework to chart distinctive typologies of change, focusing ultimately on the Milan-Bologna …
Replacing place with space
As part of its ongoing review of the processes surrounding the hosting of the Olympic Games (OGs), the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has set out the Olympic Agenda 2020 and the related New Norm (NN).These reforms, respectively approved in 2014 and 2018 to deal with the growing withdrawal of the bids, are in line with recent management studies highlighting the importance of standardization and replicability in the delivery of physical and …
Alpha territorialisation in Milan
Within the special issue, this paper aims to contribute to the debate on VIP urbanism in specific relation to phenomena of alpha territorialisation. Accordingly, it tries to apply this international figure to long-term analyses of the Milan case study, which can be considered an original intersection between the articulation of urbanisation and socio-spatial polarisation processes in the Italian national context and the dynamics of global cities,…
Cultural events and heritage policy for the Milan Expo 2015
The article observes the case of the Expo 2015 by focusing on side cultural events and heritage. By critically drawing on mega-event and smaller event literature, it is argued that new experiments beyond the mega-event itself affected Milan’s transformation and repositioning. In particular, the contribution provides new evidence about the connection between the uncertain planning process for the Universal Exhibition 2015 and the enhancement of hi…
Changing mega-events’ spatial strategies and cultural policy
Despite the proposed ‘certainty’ in a city or region hosting a mega-event, there has long been issues of uncertainty surrounding the planning and implementation of what have until now essentially been mega-projects. Large events have found a variety of ways to adapt and respond to unforeseen circumstances due to political conflicts, planning of oversize venues, limited time of implementation, and legacies that are difficult to manage. Considering…
Planning Disaster, Successful Event, and Uncertain Future
More than five years after the closing of the Milan 2015 World Fair, this article examines the two projects for the Expo site and its post-event redevelopment into an innovation district. The article interprets these projects as two connected episodes within a long-term process of urban transformation and repositioning. Accordingly, their failure and success need to be measured against the backdrop of alternate periods of action and inaction. Spa…
Mega-Events and Legacies in Post-Metropolitan Spaces
Contemporary Production, Innovative Workplaces, and Urban Space
The temporal and spatial intersection of information and telecommunication technologies, creative- and knowledge-based economies, and new manufacturing systems has had a significant effect on urban
Co-working Spaces in Milan
The present paper investigates the location patterns and the effects co-working spaces generate on the urban context, issues that have been neglected by the existing literature. The focus is on Milan, the core of the Italian knowledge-based, creative, digital, and sharing economy, and the city hosting the largest number of co-working spaces in Italy. The paper addresses three main questions: (1) Where are the main locations of co-working spaces i…
