Cellina, Francesca ; Bucher, Dominik ; Mangili, Francesca ; Veiga Simão, José ; Rudel, Roman ; Raubal, Martin

In: Sustainability, 2019, vol. 11, no. 9, p. 2674

Between utopian image and heterotopic reality : thinking/imagining participatory planning (and also hospitality) starting from reality

Bevilacqua, Maria Giovanna

In the modern Western world, characterised by multiculturalism and by an...
