INURA sta per International Network for Urban Research and Action. Quest'anno a Zurigo si terrà un'importante conferenza sull'urbanesimo contemporaneo alla quale parteciperanno ricercatori di tutto il mondo.
Titolo della conferenza è:
"The New Metropolitan Mainstream", Zurich, June 27 to 30, 2010

The last 20 years of urban development were marked by enormous urbanisation. Asia, Africa and Latinamerica experienced a tremendous growth of their cities. Besides urban sprawl a huge range of cities and metropolitan regions experienced a reurbanisation and urban renaissance. Globalisation brought about similar developments in inner cities, similar strategies of regeneration and urban transformation, among them culturalisation, privatisation of public goods and liberalisation of housing. Many regions also experienced an ongoing polarisation of urban rich and urban poor. The New Metropolitan Mainstream is found in variations in cities around the globe. The thesis is that there are the same rules that lead to similar results. INURA's New Metropolitan Mainstream project compares the developments of the last 20 years in more than 20 cities. This will be the framework of debates and the discussions of the 20th INURA conference.

Con il mio gruppo di ricerca SMU Research net (http://smu-research.net/smu/italian) abbiamo partecipato producendo un poster su Roma ed una mappa che si aggiungerà alle altre prodotte da altri gruppi di ricerca provenienti da tutto il mondo.
Accanto al New Metropolitan Mainstream, che sarebbe la città "pianificata", in Italia ed in Grecia troviamo invece la "città informale", che a Roma in particolare ha una storia molto lunga che parte dalle baraccopoli costruite dai migranti italiani ed arriva sino ai campi rom e agli insediamenti informali abitati da immigrati.

With my Research group SMU Research net, we have participated producing a poster on Rome and a map that will be added to the others produced by other research groups from all over the world.
Close to the New Metropolitan Mainstream, which means the "planned" city, in Italy and Greece we find also the "informal city", which in Rome in particular has a very old tradition which begun with the shanty towns inhabited by Italian internal migrants and arrives to the Roma encampments and migrant informal dwellings
