I am very pleased to inform that the paper Scarcity, post-scarcity and local community: L’Aquila as a case study that I co-authored with Ersilia Verlinghieri has been published on Planum the Journal of Urbanism in a special issue in collaboration with SCIBE with the title WITHIN THE LIMITS OF SCARCITY: RETHINKING SPACE, CITY AND PRACTICES.
You can find all the special issue HERE and our paper HERE (free download).
In our paper, starting from a social ecology perspective, we analyze the effect of the shock economy on the city of L’Aquila produced by the management of the 2009 earthquake. Furthermore, we present two grassroots initiatives as direct democracy examples and reconstructive model, the Assemblea Cittadina (Popular Assembly) and the Comitato per la Rinascita di Pescomaggiore (Committee for the Rebirth of Pescomaggiore).
We really want to say thank you to all the people that were involved in this one and half year process!
Looking forward to receive some comments and feedback!
