Mediterranean re-Urban Planning

Article Preview

Abstract:

Starting in '90s, town planning changes from ordinary to strategy planning. The ever-increasing speed of change of the boundary conditions and the increased exponentially the variables involved continues to highlight the need for more targeted approaches and clear horizons, New planning works subdividing independent shares and spaces over time and, at the same time, defining specific projects flexible to re-adjustment and re-definition. All system of territories (networks of urban spaces and not) until now ignored, considered marginal or waste, re-discovered as potential engines of new models and horizons of development and the city (or metropolis) in key sustainable.The urban-territorial contexts Mediterranean, given their special nature and condition emerge as reference in the development of new space and systematic way.

[7] «Cities happen to be problems in organized complexity, like the life sciences. They present situations in which half a dozen of several dozen of quantities are all varying simultaneously and in subtly interconnected ways…the variables are many, but they are not helter skelter; they are inter-related into an organic whole» Jacobs J., The Death and Life of Great American Cities, New York: Random House and Vintage Books, (1961).

[8] The concept of urban metabolism, introduced by Abel Wolman for the American city in 1965. Wolman trace an analogy between the operation of a city and the biological functioning of an organization by identifying the urban metabolism as a set of transformations and flows of people, of matter and energy that occur in urban areas, during their lives.

[10] «For Lynch, the city is represented as people engaged in activities. Always, these are subjected to modifications in response to changing circumstances in the locality, the wider urban area, or realms beyond. Often this modification in behaviour involves modificationto the use of character of building and open spaces. Sometimes it involves demolition and rebuild. The cumulative effect of an area of a city supporting these modifications of behaviour and built form is that it and the broader city must be considered to be dynamic in nature; not static or in a state of equilibrium. This is contrary to the way most designers think about the city and, for Lynch, it had important consequences for how one should approach designing them. Robustness, or the capacity to sustain change, was a critical issue for him» from Simmonds R., Lynch, The complexity theorist, Joint Centre for Urban Design, Oxford Brooks University.

[11] Studies by Lynch, arising from the meeting with Gyorgy Kepes, one of the founders of the Gestaltpsycologie, you are always moved in an attempt to steal the topic of perceptual form of the city with the uncertainty of individual interpretation, and therefore not systematic, introducing the fundamental concept of figuration. This concept, in particular, is at the heart of all research conducted by Lynch, as towards a possible objectification, in psychological terms, the perception of the city as a result of a rap-port between the cognitive structure of the inhabitants of the city, and that the urban environment experienced by the inhabitants themselves, in order to clear a recognition, of the parties.
