A reflection on resilience and inertia as properties of an urban system: Taranto in the ReCity project

Abstract

This short paper concerns the research path activated about the city of Taranto inside the ReCity project. This reflection describes the context of the research project ReCity. The following opens a field of investigation about resilience as a property of a system read according to its physical and relational characteristics in a physical, organizational system (the city in its whole existing in the environment) and the social system (the collectivity in its whole and the singular individuality). In this sense, together with resilience, it is proper to investigate the inertia. The result of a questionnaire recently disseminated will add data consistency to this thesis/intuition.

This research was financially supported by Italian National Operational Programme for “Research and Innovation” 2014-2020; Area: Smart Secure and Inclusive Communities, Project: “Resilient City- Everyday Revolution (ARS01_00592).
