Questa pubblicazione contiene i progetti elaborati con gli studenti del Laboratorio di Progettazione Architettonica ed urbana IV che ho tenuto presso la Facoltà di Architettura di Roma La Sapienza durante il semestre invernale 2010/11.Il laboratorio è stato intitolato ""I ♥ PdZ // I Love Piani di Zona". Il tema d'anno ha riguardato progetti e strategie di riqualificazione urbana nei quartieri 167 della periferia romana che hanno cercato di "dare spazi e architetture" alle (in)espresse potenzialità delle comunità locali attivate dalle amministrazioni comunali tramite processi microeconomici ed auto organizzativi.Il sottotitolo che abbiamo scelto è stato "Microeconomie in cerca di Città " sottintendendo appunto la sfida che l'architettura si deve porre nell'interpretare le richieste di nuove e vecchie comunità in trasformazioni alla ricerca di più efficienti ed equi modelli di sostenibilità nel mondo in crisi di oggi.

This volume explores and contextualizes the contributions of Gilles Paquet as a social scientist. A quintessential public intellectual, Gilles Paquet's long and multifaceted career has shown him to be a thinker of significant power and creativity. This self-described "homo hereticus"--always critical and sometimes controversial--has influenced scholars and policy makers in Canada and around the globe. The contributors reveal how his assessments of economics, politics, public administration, and education have stirred their minds and helped them make sense of the world around them. The volume also provides comments on Paquet's vision of governance, touching on concepts of which he has made extensive use: meso-analysis, social learning, and moral contracts.
