and performative urbanogenesis—those structural and sustainable strategies indispensable for the reconfiguration of healthier and more equitable poleis.16,17,18 III. WATER MANAGEMENT In the light of the questions thus far elaborated, we must of necessity envisage solutions that may rise to the rank of genuine countermeasures, to be placed at the service of a better and more prudent use of water and, more generally, at the advantage of an intelligent prophylaxis capable, as such, of projecting into the future the most adequate ethics of care.19 Indeed, in a historical context such as the present, characterised by juridicalprogrammatic policies concerning the cities of tomorrow, water too, if not above all water, no less than energy or transport, may rightly find its place within that new horizon of systemic, digital and20 results-oriented public management which, from the outset, we already know to be the true challenge of a reconfigurable public administration of the future,21 now more than aware that its procedural paradigms must be updated in order to bring more readily to synthesis both 16 In the sign of what was elaborated as res extra mercatorum by the most attentive and sensitive Italian civilist. Cf. on these aspects the illuminating pages of A. Gambino, Beni extra mercato, Milano, 2024. 17 Allow me to refer here to a contribution I made on the basis of Richard Horton’s insight in The Lancet which could offer a starting point to explore the relationship between poverty, the urban environment and disease. If desired, see L. Cameriero, The regeneration of social capital in the prism of sindemia, 13 December 2020, in www.postpolicy. it. 18 The icastic urban-genesis diptych is laudably thought out by the best urban planning doctrine on the subject. See in this sense, ex multis, M. Carta, Seven lessons of urban regeneration, Syracuse, 2025. As well as the competent and accomplished work J.B. Auby, Smart cities, Enjeux juridiques de la ville intelligente, Lexis Nexis, 2025. 19 According to an epistemological and phenomenological trajectory such that the idea of care must become a constitutive element of existence. That is to say, in such an idea that care must establish itself as a practical, contextual and relational ethic, capable of radiating as a daily concern and a concrete commitment to one’s own and others’ well-being, extending to future generations and the planet. I share this emergence of thought developed by one of the most brilliant legal philosophers in the contemporary scientific community. See in this sense F.G. Menga, The emergency of the future. The Fates of the Planet and the Responsibilities of the Present, Roma, 2021 as well as at least Id., Etica intergenerazionale, Brescia, 2021. 20 I reflect here on the authoritative studies of Franco Gaetano Scoca who, more than twenty years ago, had already intuited that the importance attributed to the administrative result constitutes the most profound innovation in the way of conceiving legally the administrative activity; and it is such as to modify the very way of administering, that is, the way in which officials understand their action. F.G. Scoca, Attività amministrativa, in Enciclopedia del diritto (VI agg.), Milano, 2002. For an assessment of the doctrinal and jurisprudential developments on the subject, see, ex pluribus, L. Giani, L’amministrazione tra approprizza dell’organizzazione e risultato: spunti per una rilettura del dialogo tra territorio, autorità e diritti, in Nuove Autonomie, 2022. 21 On the reconfiguration of tomorrow’s administrative law, see, also from a comparative perspective, the interesting work by A. Boto, La reconfigutación del derecho administrativo. Un estudio comparado España-Argentina, Ediar, 2025. 434 FRANCESCO GASPARI | LUIGI CAMERIERO
