Iginio Rossi, Francesco Sbetti, INU – URBIT
The health emergency has overturned the structure of mobility, especially the urban one. Public transport fails to adequately meet demand, the increase in car transport generates negative environmental and health impacts, the use of “soft” modes is slowed down by the lack of specific infrastructures. Many indications in the different administrative levels are manifesting themselves in the direction of interventions capable of responding to the new context such as the visions of cities that re-interpret the urban plan starting from the construction of Transit-oriented development neighborhoods (TOD born in nineties in the USA) or in the Ville du quart d’heure (proposed by the mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo). For all, urban use is consumed in the dimension of reduced movements based on pedestrian, walking and cycling, integration that implies the implementation of more inclusive and effective policies.
A revolution based on technological innovation, on the extension of smart-working, on the rearticulation of collective services, on the performance of proximity networks, would seem imminent. This vision brings back to the top of urban agendas a priority considered somewhat marginal in recent years, namely that of infrastructures for active mobility networks. The meeting through the comparison of significant experiences and the contribution of some cities of the FIAB Municipal-Cycle Networks aims to identify guidelines and guidelines useful for defining policies, strategies, tools and new practices.
