Living in future cities: from overbuilding to ecological transition

Abstract

In contemporary cities the levels of livability and urban quality are less and less optimal. There are various causes: climate and demographic changes, reduction of natural resources, health risks, excessive consumption of land, increased pollution, impoverishment of populations, lack of employment, transformation of urban space, etc.. In this study, through a multidisciplinary approach, we will analyze the gap between some cities in the north and south of the Country, with particular reference to the Sicily region
