Giovanni Attili's research path focuses on several thematic nodes, closely intertwined with each other: 1) a problematization of the disciplinary field in which Attili, namely the field of urban and territorial planning. This problematization aims at producing a critical review of some modalities through which urban planning traditionally relates to the territory, both in terms of analysis and intervention. 2) experimentations in the field of urban and territorial analysis through the construction of an interdisciplinary approach that is potentially able to virtuously creating a dialogue between qualitative methodologies and quantitative methodologies. These experimentations aims to intercept forms of urban development in the making, practices of life of the inhabitants, processes of appropriation and signification of spaces, conflicts of use that distinguish an extremely fluid and heterogeneous urban landscape. The focus is on the dimension of daily life in relation to the overall processes of formation and evolution of the urban structure and to the processes of urban policy construction. 3) an experimentation in the field of the activation of planning processes through the construction of experiences (in the form of research-action) whose goal is to actively and constructively involveinhabitants and social actors. These processes intend to short-circuit the traditional oppositional analysis / project relationship through the construction of appropriate communication-relational devices. These are exploration-actions (mainly hypermedia and filmic) "that favor the development of the social bond with learning and the exchange of knowledge; communication devices designed to listen, integrate and return diversity [...]; semiotic engineers that make it possible to use, for the benefit of the majority, the data bases, skills and the accumulated symbolic power "(Levy 1997) For a more detailed version of the curriculum, please consult the attached file
