L'articolo indaga l'impatto delle ondate di calore nei contesti urbani, con un'analisi di caso studio. L'analisi intrapresa con il progetto "RicercaEventi Estremi a Torino" si è basata su 120 interviste semi-strutturate agli abitanti di due quartieri periferici. I risultati hanno messo in luce tendenze già rilevate nella letteratura internazionale, in particolare la percezione delle ondate di calore come fenomeni aggravanti preesistenti condizioni di precarietà. I risultati evidenziano anche come aspetti culturali e psicosociali siano fattori chiave per la vulnerabilità dei contesti locali alle ondate di calore.

The research, conducted through an online questionnaire, involved a sample of 7,607 students representing approximately 7% of those enrolled at the Universities of Milan-Bicocca, Statale, Bocconi, San Raffaele and the Milan Higher Education Civic Schools. After reporting the main results regarding meal times and locations, food choices and the health status of students, the research, through a cluster analysis, identifies four main groups of students: the health-conscious, the pragmatists, the experientials and the traditionalists, each characterized by specific eating styles.

Urban food policies are powerful institutional actions, able to build more sustainable food systems of contemporary cities. These innovative policies are designed with a systemic and cross-sectoral approach, capable of acting at the intersection of different issues and fields such as water, waste, planning, health, transport, education, environment, trade, but also food and nutrition security, self-sufficiency and food sovereignty. We will describe an overview of initiatives develope...

Theoretically as well as at the level of development cooperation policies and strategies, a reconfiguration of the reference scales at which the very idea of development is conceptualized has been taking place since the Seventies. The context is that of the process of reorganization of the international politico-economic system that began in those years, which also encouraged the social sciences to adopt new perspectives in analyzing and interpreting social phenomena and economic processes. Alongside the essentially aspatial and macroeconomic approaches which remain dominant to this day, an attention to the local dimensions of development has gradually gained ground, moving from somewhat subterranean beginnings to its current prominence. This reconfiguration is very much part of the considerations that have matured since the early Eighties regarding the crisis...

Can we speak about a mere statement of principles or rather of processes actually taking place? Has this perception been developed only in the so-called "donor countries" or is this also a theme debated in the discourse and practices of the so-called "beneficiaries countries"? How decentralized cooperation initiatives change the perception of those involved about issues such as the idea of "cooperation", "development" or the evolution of paradigms such as "local development" or "sustainable development"? How is the relational dimen...
