San Rocco, which is a magazine about architecture written by architects, has an interesting post on regulating access to public spaces in Italy. They say:
On December 18, Italian Minister of the Interior Roberto Maroni officially supported a proposal by Undersecretary Alfredo Mantovano to extend the anti-hooliganism police measure known as “Daspo” (an acronym for Divieto di accedere alle manifestazioni sportive, or prohibition of access to sporting events) to regulate access to public spaces on the occasion of political rallies.
They say that the proposal was made on the heels of student demonstrations in Rome and has been enthusiastically supported by several of the Minister’s brilliant peers, such as the Mayor of Rome, Gianni Alemanno, and Senator Maurizio Gasparri.
The above is San Rocco's modest proposal to introduce efficient technological devices to regulate access to urban public space. Keep people out.
