Chi l'ha visto?

I read on the website of the City of Bicester that our city, "for its innovative experience environment Councillor, was invited to international conference Climate Change Urban Forestry - A global vision, many local solutions and best practices , which was held in Rome on 17 and December 18 by calling the top experts in the capital world on the theme of cities and urban green areas. The pride of our city, in addition to the enormous wealth of public parks with indices highest per capita, is the urban forest, which was also the protagonist of the episode of December 20, GR1 Habitat, the colors of the earth , heading into the depths of the news in Radio One. [...] The forest urban green lungs outside the city, is located between the bypass and via Marconi, and took shape with the work in the station. Wooded area, in fact, were transplanted to 24 lime [21 in another article on the same site] and the oak harvested from the station square and the park Guernica ".

But where exactly all this flower 'eye? Consulting Google Maps seems to locate in the area circled in red near the ring road, in the two satellite photos.
It' really what I dont know. I've never seen up close and do not even know how to get to. There are pedestrian walkways or paths that do are easily from the city center? Reading the article this information can not be ascertained, if somewhat nebulous. And this is really
urban forest? The meaning of the term "urban" to any dictionary of the Italian language is "citizen of the city."
Looking at the map, if the wood is just that, the city seems to have very little. It lies beyond the railway, beyond the cemetery, beyond the settlements craft / industrial Via Marconi, there are no homes, if not scattered, there is no real urban area, there is the city, which is across from 'On the other hand.
may be that the elusive forest is this side of the road sign "Bicester" and that that is enough to call it urban. Or maybe you will not be necessary to reform the dictionary?

red crabs

The population of cities the world has outpaced that of the rest of the planet.
Cities are responsible for the emission of carbon dioxide by 80%.
Within five years the Arctic summer ice will be completely dissolved.
Already this summer the Northwest passage was, for five weeks, traveled by ships.
They are all very alarming data raise numerous questions of climate change sull'irreversibilità in place and the future of Earth.
In this regard, I read about Repubblica.it interview with Werner Herzog's very interesting. Speaking of the red crabs of Christmas Island, north-west of Australia, resumed in two of his films ( Toll from deep and Invincible), those "millions and millions of red crabs that came out of the woods," that it was impossible not to step on walking, Herzog reflects on the fate of man and of life on our planet:

"[...] And then as we are aware that these creatures will survive us. After being in Antarctica and have seen the world from a completely different point of view, I realized that our technological civilization, with its huge waste of resources is not sustainable. But not only this, it is obvious that the technology will be the first to disappear. In the end nature will regulate us and we will disappear fairly quickly, more quickly than we are the dinosaurs extinct. For them, it took millions of years, even though millions of years in geological terms they are nothing. The human presence will disappear faster. What will become of us? I spoke with many scientists and they told me that crabs, sea urchins and sponges are the ones who are more likely to survive. Among the terrestrial creatures, reptiles. What remains, instead of us? I think one of the most dangerous follies made man on this planet will remain above the dams, such as the Vajont, which has 60 meters of concrete foundations and steel, and is 150 meters high. Although everything is still standing, and two hundred or three hundred thousand years is still there. Turin there will be no more, and even Los Angeles, but the Vajont will last longer than the pyramids. The greatest of human follies outlive everything else. "

factor 32

I read The Republic of January 3, 2008 an article by Pulitzer Prize Jared Diamond," Factor 32 rich so we consume the Earth. "
This is a very interesting article, written with clarity. I recommend it to everyone reading.
begins:
"For the mathematicians the number 32 is interesting because it is 2 raised to the fifth power: 2 for 2 for 2 for 2 for 2. For economists the number 32 is even more special, because it quantifies the difference in style life between the developed world, the First World, and that in developing the Third World. Compared to the latter, in fact, the average rate with which the first one
consume resources like oil and metals, producing waste such as plastic and greenhouse gases is about 32 times higher in North America, Western Europe, Japan and Australia. [...]".
There's a lot to think ...

Bicester survive? Bicester

I read the book by Aldo Cazzullo, which also speaks to us. Title: Outlet Italy. Travel the country on sale , a metaphor certainly not exciting for the future.
I was struck by the fact that Bicester is also becoming famous for having one of these iperluoghi that become symbols of the sale, not only of goods but also of values. " Parallel worlds in which "everything becomes a commodity, including the relationship between people," where he performed "the market's most valuable assets: justice, love, time, last name, embryos, faith, culture; up to men, treated as objects just as dogs and SUVs are becoming more important than people. " Luca Mercalli

I heard on TV, Chetempochefa , repeatedly draw attention to the dangers of reckless economic growth. In the future, including climate changes and energy crisis, the system's ability to absorb the blows, to limit the damage, could diminish considerably. Therefore, you should give "priority to saving and energy efficiency, food production of short chain, arrest of the overbuilding of agricultural land which are our insurance for the future." Preserve the fertile land and stop a cement works and possible emergency exit, where survival itself becomes a problem.

I read an article with the title and eye very eloquent: "The future city. Burdett: "We like London." Interview / The famous English architect proposes that urban growth takes place only in the former industrial areas without touching the green "( La Repubblica, December 14, 2007).

I have in mind a fable I had heard on television a long time ago. You can get it as a game but it does reflect a lot.
We imagine a large reservoir from which we draw water every day. The first day a little bit, the second day a little 'more, and so on. Our use of the resource is growing and to be more precise increases in geometric progression.
is an easy game to do and is really impressive. For example, a geometric progression is a series of numbers like 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc.. If we try to develop the calculations for 29 days, we realize that the result is breathtaking. The first day we drew 1 cubic meter of water, but our consumption has gone up in 29 days to more than 268 million cubic meters!
The best is still to come. We are quiet because we know that the reservoir was only half drained. But the question is: how long will it take to drain all? And the answer is astonished to leave: just one day leave us without water!
course, is only an allegory, and it is still to establish which is the real value of that "day": 10 years? Fifty? A century? To do that you should calculate
back the pace of growth and resource consumption, but in any case it is not difficult to see that the reasoning of Mercalli is right: we must not slow down, you have to stop, stop cement factory, preserve soil fertility, maybe for us but certainly for future generations.

Then, these readings and reflections, I have inevitably led to think about what happens in Bicester. If I enter via Togliatti, intersection the Via Emilia (Via XXIV Maggio) towards Vaio Ponte Ghiara, on the left, where there was once a year, now are there to the foot of the hills, new settlements and a large hospital. All these fertile lands have been strangled by a deluge of concrete and asphalt. If I take the direction of
Soragna up to the exit of the A1, until Outlet (from which these considerations have started) when I think of the one million cubic meters of concrete will leak on Bastelli, I have to ask: in the future will be a bit 'of agricultural land in the territory of Bicester? The urban expansion will continue or will stop in geometric progression, as is absolutely needs to happen right now?

I heard a commissioner who spoke of the future production plant Bastelli as a beautiful design, eco-friendly at high levels.

I heard another councilor that about too many trees felled or uprooted in the city, replied that Bicester is well above the legal parameters for the urban green.

I wonder if they're right?

I went back to Maureen Crozza mind that, quoting De Gasperi, remember that a good politician does not think the next election but to future generations.

Our administrators seem quiet. Who knows which of the two things they're thinking?

Photo 1: the urbanization of Bicester some forty years ago (the whole city was in the red line), when the population was more or less the same today

Photo 2: Bicester and its territory, as seen from the satellite (there are still a quarter of Europe and future settlements Bastelli).

The complex business of living-Maghenzani was demolished: no longer exists. This is perhaps the last photo that shows him, now deserted and abandoned, in total disuse. How

James Hillman writes, even the places have a soul. This complex
certainly had a lot of anime.
Imagine the life of a distributor of fuel on the Via Emilia, from the late '40s, with all the passing cars and trucks. With the nearby tavern, habitual especially truck drivers. And the vast network of distributors in the province, and even beyond, to which was attached to it and were headed. And there was, if memory serves me right, the distribution of gas cylinders. Besides, although the picture can be seen as soon as the hangar for maintenance and cleaning.
Imagine how many people went there and how many people we have worked operators that have taken place when the owners have left the direct management, the boys who worked in the summer to make up some money.
Imagine then the big house, very nice, sure to be restored, which still could continue to live: the hundreds of people who have visited, which rose and went down the stairs, who lived in and through it.
In that place, full of souls have become intertwined stories of who knows how many people!
stories that ran on the road, travel, trade, business, but also events that were born in the house: for example, the musical experiments ...
You could tell the story of Bicester and perhaps Italy after World War II to today, the story of three generations of villagers and the Italians, taking as inspiration center, between the realistic and the imaginary, the complex of "modernism" (I will not say yet archeology) architectural industry-which now the bulldozers have swept away forever.
We need someone with the appropriate talent and the right knowledge of the facts to write a great novel, or even more than one. A good writer, maybe we would derive a great saga of the Buddenbrooks.
I, as an expert in collapses and demolitions, certainly does not possess the skills and knowledge I have not even enough, but why not hope that someone should bear the noble undertaking?
Moreover, a good director would be able to make it a chapter of a large Italian-style road movie, and who knows what else o.
Maybe an artist Borghigiano could at least have had the inspiration to capture it all when it was still in full swing, giving us a picture in the atmosphere of a piece of our memory, as happens when you admire a masterpiece like "Gas" (1940) by Edward Hopper, an evocative look at an intense phase of development of our Western civilization.

PS: since I'm at it, I would say that has since been demolished a Another fine example of modern industrial city. This is the "New central water distribution", built, if I remember correctly, in the 60s. It was located right next to Casa Rabaiotti, Via Baracca, Olaf Palme street corner, where there is a red rectangle on the map.

I do not have photos of the building, but I know who has very good memory and that has linked a significant portion of her life at places like this.
In its place will rise yet another housing estate.
course, it needed more time. The water distribution network now follows other paths.
However, if the logic was to reduce the only practical dell'inservibilità-t ECHNICAL and continued destruction / production of things, you can begin to fear that many more beautiful buildings, historical, "full of soul", will be demolished in the future to make room for fruits of economic growth. If the reckless not hesitate to destroy the fertile land south of the city (it takes hundreds of years to rebuild the withered humus, let alone buried in concrete!), Which can never be compared to houses, buildings, warehouses, and other buildings now "useless"?
