Abstract
Infrastructures, effect of development strategies, have always represented an opportunity to rewrite society. The subject has been highly controversial since the 60s’. Nowadays, it is at the core of the cultural debate centered on sustainable development, around which research is connecting the concepts of city livability, resource-efficient mobility, sustainable urban society. The problem of urban congestion amplifies the issue of suburban disintegration, with the needs, uses and purposes of the city and of its inhabitants being more and more neglected. With reference to a sustainable territory transformation, the challenge of the research is double: on one hand, it aims at elaborating hypothesis regarding the effectiveness of the possible scenarios of urban alternative mobility—ought to become more efficient; on the other hand, it seeks to integrate mobility systems with the project of territorial interchanges, grouping the population together into poles, linked by environmentally-friendly collective transports. The scenarios offered within the open field of urban phenomenology intend to create ideal social and environmental conditions, to optimize the way urban spaces are used and to create a mobility system able to guarantee an accessible and safe urban environment.
