Dr. Antoninetti is an urban geographer with degrees in architecture and urban planning specializing in urban design and aging-in-place.  His areas of interest include city history, universal design,  qualitative and mixed methodologies, phenomenology, healthy  communities, and sustainable neighborhood design. He is presently researching the crisis of small municipalities (piccoli comuni) in Italy, grass-root initiatives to achieve aging-in-place in American suburbs, and recent innovative designs for children’s playgrounds in the U.S. and Europe. He is the principal investigator of the forthcoming Auspex Project, an Internet-based research on undesired American places.
