Author Biography

Rocco Papa, Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering, University of Naples Federico II

Professor Emeritus of Land Use Planning at the University of Naples "Federico II", Polytechnic School and Basic Sciences. Full Professor of Land Use Planning at University of Naples Federico II, from 1993 to 2017. Director of the Department of Urban and Regional Planning DiPiST of University of Naples Federico II, from 1999 to 2005. Vice-Mayor of the Municipality of Naples, from 2001 to 2006. City Councilor for Livability (appointed to Town Planning and Historical Centre) for the Naples Municipality, from 1997 to 2001. Research activity, carried out continuously since 1974, has developed according to the following four main lines: the study of the interactions between urban and mobility systems; the management and governance of metropolitan areas; the safeguard of environmental quality in highly urbanized areas; the experimentation of new protocols for urban planning tools connected with the updating of techniques, methods and models of analyses, interpretation, planning and governance of territory. As Vice-Mayor of the Municipality of Naples he has developed in detail the following projects: the approval and implementation of the new Master Plan of Naples; the approval and implementation of the Local Master Plan for the area of Bagnoli, the restoration and requalification of the “Real Albergo dei Poveri” and of the “SS. Trinità delle Monache”, the implementation of the Line 1 and Line 6 of the Metropolitan Railway. He is the author of more than 160 publications.
