The conception of “Fifth Landscape” (Repetto & Aimar, 2021) originates from the presentation ‘Fifth Landscape/Landscape 5.0’ held by Diego Repetto at the conference ‘Shaping the City: A Forum for Sustainable Cities and Communities’, ‘Culture for Sustainable Cities’ section, organised by the European Cultural Centre in 2018. It is a fresh implementation and evolutionary development of the concept of Fourth Landscape (non-proft association Quarto Paesaggio, 2013), and an homage to Gilles Clément’s well-known Third Landscape (2004). If Clément defnes the ‘Tiers paysage’ [Third Landscape] as “… made up of all the places left behind by man” (Clément, 2004:1) and exhorts to consider the “… the inherent mechanics of the Third Landscape - as an engine of evolution” pointing out the necessity to “teach the engines of evolution …” (ibid., 24), subsequent elaborations derive their substance from this evolutionary nature and reworking of the landscape waste. Indeed, the Fourth Landscape uses art as an engine to stimulate citizens participation in the refection on the meaning of the suburban landscape and their role in this re-appropriation and re-interpretation, as the urban landscape is also a common good (CR Florence Foundation, 2018).

In the last years, I have been working at the WHO ofce in Copenhagen which covers 53 countries across the European region. I'm a sociologist and not a health expert, neither I am an urban planner nor a designer. Indeed, I am not anybody truly working in your feld of expertise but, as a sociologist, I have a lot to say about the value of the social sciences and the humanities to the work that you all do and to your studies. I'm going to start by going back in time to look into the early 1800s, and precisely 1831, when cholera - the water-borne disease that is mostly spread by water - was a ripping through London.

In the still dominant perception of a hierarchical order of nature, humans are disturbing ecosystems factors. We should move away from the one-dimensional dichotomy between natural and human interaction towards a more effective representation without nostalgia. The contact between human and natural habitats is close to the idea of maintaining and conserving a certain state of equilibrium, instead of letting natural habitats evolve into new ecosystems. In other words, energy management and the capacity of a system to self-organize (autopoiesis) defnes the difference between human and natural habitats. Where this capacity is not limited, a natural habitat is present. Contemporary landscapes (tourist coasts, reclaimed land, etc.) demonstrate this thesis by highlighting how human intervention is an indispensable factor in their maintenance. It is necessary to provide precise and sophisticated tools capable of synthesizing agents and forces within territorial transformations starting from a global understanding of natural processes. Ecological dynamics must be transformed into project parameters involved within design process. Here a further degree of integration is suggested above the level of simple natural ecosystems, where human is assumed as a key factor in landscape transformation and geography construction. Considering other paradigms that interfere with the same epistemological area, the contribution questions the theoretical and practical implications of rethinking the interaction between natural and artifcial ecosystems within the framework of landscape resilience. This perspective allows a territorial update by increasing the level of compatibility between the evolution of human habitat and the maintenance of natural regeneration times. This articulation, however, requires a reconsideration of landscape aesthetics beyond the beautiful and the consolatory, as well as a fundamental shift in landscape thinking from representation to action.

Digitisation of heritage and the creation of open digital archive contribute in a large scale dissemination of history and culture. Today, technology allows us not only to easily access information on heritage and view 3D models of buildings or artefacts, but also to experience virtually historic sites or historic object, by representing them accurately, either referring to the recreation of exiting objects or rebuilding models of objects as they may have appeared in the past (Roussou, 2002). Moreover, digital heritage platforms allow visitors to navigate through virtual spaces and access information data, but still provide a low level of interactivity and immersion (Champion, 2008). By providing simple navigation they offer passive interaction and less engagement, while affords to navigate and have inputs to which to respond offer a more active mental interaction. However, what is missing is dynamic involvement of users and an engaging narrative. Although, digital models today are becoming more and more realistic representations of the physical objects and in general of the environment, they still lack a narrative which describes the intangible elements of cultural heritage, human attitude in this environment and simulates the cultural context. In order to guarantee an effective engagement with learning experience and offer better entertainment to a larger audience, other than conservators, historians and archaeologists, this study will introduce an interactive and immersive approach in heritage 3D platforms based on game design tools. The paper will explore frst the state of the art on virtual heritage worldwide and in particular applications in the case of Albanian heritage, highlighting the level of interactivity and user engagement. Then, interactive tools from video games will be analysed and discussed in view of their incorporation in virtual heritage platforms or serious games to make the dissemination of virtual heritage more interactive and immersive. In this sense, this study will discuss how to develop interactive narrative for historical heritage based on interactivity and narration elements, how to develop an interactive story space and introduce player character as a view point in heritage exploration.

Hello everyone, and thanks to Polis University for the introduction and to the conference organizers for the invitation to talk to you today. It is a genuine pleasure to be able to do so as the pandemic has profoundly changed the ways we relate to one another, and it has also transformed how and why we interact with places. A renewed interest in how the pre-pandemic places we live, work, and play in our cities could be good for us and support our health and well-being, was gaining signifcant momentum during the pandemic. However, the pandemic has revealed existing health and social inequalities in many contexts, and the need to assess our health and wellbeing in relation to our environment. Now we must ask: what is the future for cities? My talk is split into two parts.

Governments around the world encountered fiscal stress in the wake of the pandemic, with cities facing economic plight. As is the case with most disasters, it is the poor that largely paid the price. A large section of what makes up the Indian economy comprises of the informal sector that cannot ‘work from home’. So when the first lockdown was announced in India back in March 2020, tens of millions of people were pushed into poverty. The harrowing images of migrant workers walking hundreds of miles to get back to their villages could be seen from across the country. With urban areas being so starkly divided, the increasing risk of poverty has become an evident consequence of the pandemic. Dealing with the aftermath of COVID-19 will require addressing these deep-rooted social inequalities, particularly to build the resilience of marginalized groups. Although cities’ preparedness and responses to the crisis mainly rely on larger institutional and economic capacities, the local response is also crucial for future resilience and sustainable recovery, starting at the community level. There have been several instances of solidarity witnessed at local levels, with individuals and enterprises coming together in collective action. Hence, urban areas with all their diverse contributing factors, have a ‘decisive, potentially agile role in the battle for a just and green recovery’

All political parties recognized the need for the territorial and administrative reform that was drafted between 2013 and 2015, and there have generally been no reservations about it. In order to provide Albania, the chance to perform to its full potential in this aspect, such atmosphere galvanized high expectations from the public opinion and garnered a signifcant lot of support from donors. The opposition at the time decided to withdraw for recognized reasons and did not participate in the process. In these circumstances, territorial consolidation and the number of municipalities dominated the public and political discourse, while the governance structure and the division of powers at the central-local level received little attention. These reforms proceed through iterative cycles until a social and political balance is achieved, as evidenced by experiences from other nations/countries. The current outcome of this reform in Albania after six years of implementation enables us to evaluate what has been accomplished thus far. What action is necessary now? In my opinion, the Reform is not "black and white." Of course, there have been some successes; any changes should not seek to undo or start over, but rather to rectify and improve in accordance with the needs of the nation, economy, and communities.

Global pandemic is a special challenge for Sarajevo, the post-war and the city in transition in Europe. Like stranded Noah’s ark, the city with still visible war wounds and with no foundations for sustainable spatial planning system yet constructed, will probably have zero resilience for future catastrophes and pandemics. Unsatisfactory outcomes of the spatial planning system analysis for Sarajevo directs us to understand seriousness of our present situation and to think to make a turning point towards re-evaluation of our creation, in order to renew and prepare our city to survive future catastrophes. It should not be only a matter of disaster resilience, but a path towards sustainable European 21 century city. Our symbiosis with other species is one of the future scenarios for a city in transition, because uncontrolled urban sprawl is threatening not only human made systems. Our consciousness of planning in the Western Balkans will have to change dramatically towards nature preservation and controlled urban development to enable our cities to become healthy, fertile, and functional environments again. In absence of spatial planning strategies, land use plans, and bylaws in accordance with TA2030, post-pandemic period might become the critical moment for Sarajevo to begin procedures of creating sustainable spatial planning system.

The notion of the right to the city comes from the French Marcel François Lefebvre but, if I wanted a one sentence quote, I would prefer David Harvey’s, which states that the ‘right to the city is the right to remake, to transform the city and be transformed in it by ourselves’. In return of that how do we make the city and how does the city remake us? In my opening keynote I want to talk about some of the responses to the pandemic but also about some of the threats that loom on the horizon in the post-pandemic city. Doing so will hopefully set the stage for conversations about possible interventions, and where do we choose our points of leverage in which to remake the city.

We will address key questions concerning the development of our cities, in the specific case, Tirana, the capital of Albania, after the new worldwide scenario that come as a consequence of the pandemic. The questions that we will focuses connecting with the idea of diversity, addressing it from the symbolic point of view of the relation between art and architecture, and how this relation can affect resilience and vision of the future. This because we have to treat the space the same way we are doing with time, as a fow. Space and time also belong to this class of quantities. Past, present, and future, forms a continuous whole. Space, likewise, is a continuous quantity. With the fall of the communist regime in 1991, Albania has started to favor market logics and the recognition of property rights. Indeed, what followed such revolutionary political transition was a rapid privatization process and, according to many, an apparently chaotic urban development. The 2020 pandemic highlight the need for a change in the vision of our cities and the way they must develop. In the last months, many to underline new possible visions for our cities have used the idea of utopian concepts of the ideal city, or that of resilience cities. “Utopia” comes from Greek: οὐ (“not”) and τόπος (“place”) which translates as “no-place” and literally means any non-existent society. Sir Thomas Moore coined the term in 1516 when he uses to describe an island where the structure of the society and the equilibrium between men and nature was perfectly balanced. In standard usage, the word's meaning has shifted and now usually describes a non-existent society considerably better than contemporary society. Humans needs these kind of places because mythical space is an intellectual construct and helps us defne our real space. We will analyze how the idea of utopia relates to art and how art can be seen as a way to faces contemporary problematics through its close relation to the space of architecture.
我们将处理有关我们城市发展的关键问题,具体来说是阿尔巴尼亚首都地拉那,在这种流行病造成的新的世界局面之后。我们将关注的问题与多样性的概念联系在一起,从艺术和建筑之间关系的象征性角度来解决这个问题,以及这种关系如何影响弹性和未来的愿景。这是因为我们必须像对待时间一样对待空间。空间和时间也属于这类量。过去、现在和未来构成了一个连续的整体。同样,空间也是一个连续的量。随着1991年共产主义政权的垮台,阿尔巴尼亚开始倾向于市场逻辑和承认财产权。事实上,这种革命性的政治过渡之后是一个迅速的私有化进程,根据许多人的说法,显然是一个混乱的城市发展。2020年的大流行突出表明,有必要改变我们对城市的看法和城市发展的方式。在过去的几个月里,许多人强调了我们城市的新可能愿景,他们使用了理想城市的乌托邦概念或弹性城市的概念。“乌托邦”来自希腊语:ο ο(“不”)和τ ο πος(“地方”),翻译过来是“没有地方”,字面意思是任何不存在的社会。托马斯·摩尔爵士在1516年创造了这个词,当时他用这个词来形容一个社会结构以及人与自然之间的平衡完美平衡的岛屿。在标准用法中,这个词的意思已经发生了变化,现在通常比当代社会更好地描述一个不存在的社会。人类需要这样的地方,因为神话空间是一种智力建构,帮助我们定义我们的真实空间。我们将分析乌托邦的概念如何与艺术相关,以及艺术如何通过与建筑空间的密切关系被视为面对当代问题的一种方式。

In the last months, many to underline new possible visions for our cities have used the idea of utopian concepts of the ideal city, or that of resilience cities. “Utopia” comes\u0000from Greek: οὐ (“not”) and τόπος (“place”) which translates as “no-place” and literally means any non-existent society. Sir Thomas Moore coined the term in 1516 when he uses to describe an island where the structure of the society and the equilibrium between men and nature was perfectly balanced. In standard usage, the word's meaning has shifted and now usually describes a non-existent society considerably better than contemporary society. Humans needs these kind of places because mythical space is an intellectual construct and helps us defne our real space. We will analyze how the idea of utopia relates to art and how art can be seen as a way to faces contemporary problematics through its close relation to the space of architecture.","PeriodicalId":340805,"journal":{"name":"Health and Wellbeing in the Post-Pandemic City","volume":"2047 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129812108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
