I trend demografici dell’ultimo secolo, hanno un ampio riscontro sull’intero pianeta riguardante l’incremento della popolazione con particolare enfasi nella fascia “anziana”. Assieme a questo fenomeno demografico, un altro fenomeno sociale intercorre tra le diverse generazioni, creando fratture nelle interrelazioni con conseguente isolamento generazionale. A Shanghai le comunità Lilong sopravvivono ad un fenomeno di urbanizzazione a larga scala, tale fenomeno negli ultimi tre decenni ha visto una distruzione massiccia di comunità, a favore di edifici residenziali multipiano o grandi centri commerciali. Queste comunità sono i luoghi dove le persone, in una città Globale come Shanghai, possono ancora preservare le loro interazioni giornaliere, in ambienti che sono pensati in scala umana e sociale. Negli ultimi anni, una nuova sensibilità riguardo il preservare tali comunità sta dilagando, ma non sono stati compiuti degli sforzi concreti per implementare le condizioni di vita generali delle comunità, assieme alle aree in prossimità. Lo scopo di questa tesi è dimostrare come un approccio multigenerazionale su scala urbana e architettonica, possa migliorare la condizione di vita generale, promuovendo un migliore utilizzo degli spazi interni alla comunità. Durante le fasi di studio, grazie a sopralluoghi settimanali, è emersa la tematica dell’assenza e del bisogno di servizi che possano coprire i bisogni di tutte le generazioni e grazie ai nuovi trend di design multigenerazionale, è possibile usare tali conoscenze per offrire delle soluzioni che vadano a migliorare la situazione attuale. L’area scelta nella tesi è North Sichuan Road in Shanghai, un’area storicamente famosa per la cultura e ricca di edifici storici. Qui, alcune comunità Lilong sopravvivono ancora alla demolizione e allo smantellamento e il lavoro di ricerca e di design, è rivolto a questo contesto.

Abstract
The demographic trend in the last century has a wide response in the worldwide, consisting is an increasing of the world population with a particular emphasis of the elderly fragment. Together with this demographic phenomenon, a social one that occurs between the different generations, fractures the interrelation between age classes with a consequent isolation of the generations. In Shanghai the Lilong Communities are still surviving to the wide-spread urbanization, a phenomenon that in the last three decades saw a diffuse destruction of those communities in favor of high-rise residential buildings or huge commercial centers. Those communities are the place in which people, in a Global City such as Shanghai, can still preserve local’s daily relations, in environment that are human and social scaled. A new sensitivity in the last years about the preservation of these communities is spreading, but no efforts has been made in order to implement the general living conditions of these areas, within the surrounding environment. The purpose of this thesis is about demonstrating how a Multi-generational approach in the urban and architecture design, can increase the general living condition by promoting a better usage of the spaces inside the community. During the workflow thanks to weekly surveys in the project area, the urgency of services that can cover all the generation needs has been underlined by locals, and thanks to the new trends about multi-generational design, it’s possible to use this knowledge in order to offer design solutions that can solve the actual situation. The area chosen in the thesis is North Sichuan Road in Shanghai, an historical area full of heritages and old cultural buildings. Here some Lilong communities survived to the destruction phenomenon, and the research work within the final design, is focused on one of these communities.È consentito all'utente scaricare e condividere i documenti disponibili a testo pieno in UNITESI UNIPV nel rispetto della licenza Creative Commons del tipo CC BY NC ND.
