Abstract
Milan and Shanghai: two cities, a long distance apart, different cultures, similar problems and opportunities. The chance to make some common design thought has come from a couple of applied research projects, anticipated by academic workshops with students in Service Design and Product Service System Design of the School of Design of Politecnico di Milano, and the Politong Masters Program . The cities (as with many metropolises of the contemporary world) hold extended peri-urban areas lying between the urban settlements and the rural surroundings: rururban territories (Donadieu 1998) that still keep a mainly agricultural identity. This is the case of the Agricultural South Park of Milan and Chongming Island in Shanghai. These territories are places which are today critical contexts of the sustainable development of urban areas. They are subject to urban expansion and the agriculture is threatened. It is here that urban and rural dynamics meet, creating unique opportunities to improve the quality of everyday life and make a decisive step towards sustainable development.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
