Transformación socio-espacial e infraestructuras del transporte en Guadalajara, México: aproximaciones teóricas sobre su relación
Authors: Valencia Cueva María del Rocío
Published: July 2022

El modelo de ciudad fragmentada, basado en el desarrollo de las infraestructuras que la soportan, principalmente las del transporte motorizado, ha generado, en ellas, indiscutibles mejoras en la vida cotidiana de sus habitantes, pero también un acelerado y descontrolado proceso de crecimiento, que arrastra tras de sí diversos problemas para el desarrollo urbano construyendo así la complejidad de la ciudad y la sociedad misma. En este espacio se exponen algunas inquietudes iniciales, derivadas de la investigación en un trabajo de tesis, respecto a la relación entre los procesos de transformación socio-espacial y las infraestructuras del transporte. El planteamiento parte de un análisis teórico sobre cómo las infraestructuras del transporte afectan la forma y los procesos socio-espaciales de la ciudad, que explican los cambios que se producen en la construcción de una metrópoli como Guadalajara
Patrimonio militare e progetti di rigenerazione urbana: l’infrastruttura bellica dell’Atlantic Wall e di Saint-Nazaire
Authors: Lecardane Renzo , Tesoriere Zeila
Published: July 2022

Nel 2010, la base sottomarina di Saint-Nazaire è stata dichiarata «Patrimonio del XX secolo»
dal Ministère de la Culture et de la Communnication francese ed è divenuta il simbolo di un
nuovo approccio patrimoniale che riconosce il patrimonio materiale e immateriale in tutte le sue
forme, non limitandosi soltando al manufatto certificato come monumento. La memoria, i beni
materiali o i luoghi poco conosciuti hanno così contribuito a definire una nuova dimensione
urbana proiettata verso il futuro. Riferirsi esplicitamente al tema del rapporto tra waterfront e
patrimonio militare, attraverso l’esempio di Saint-Nazaire, ci porta a riflettere sul ruolo del
progetto urbano nella trasformazione della città contemporanea.
Gli stessi principi collegano tale caso di studio a molte altre operazioni di rigenerazione della
città europea e, in particolare, delle città portuali francesi. A partire dagli anni ‘80, per far fronte
alla crisi del settore industriale, alcune città portuali, tra cui Marsiglia, Le Havre, Saint-Nazaire e
Dunkerque, hanno elaborato numerosi studi e progetti sulle loro aree industriali obsolete o
abbandonate, al fine di potenziare le attività portuali e di destinare gli spazi resi liberi a nuove
attività. Il riconoscimento del valore di risorsa urbana e patrimoniale a tali aree portuali ha
consentito di riattivare dinamiche economiche, sociali e spaziali spesso interrotte o in disuso.

In 2010 the submarine base in Saint-Nazaire was declared ‘Heritage of the XX century’ by the
French Ministère de la Culture et de la Communnication. Thereafter it became the symbol of a
new approach related to heritage that recognises the tangible and intangible heritage in all its
forms, not only restricted to the artifact acknowledged as a ‘monument’. Remembrance, the
material assets or the little known places have thus contributed to defining a new urban
dimension projected toward the future. The case of Saint-Nazare, relating clearly to the
relationship between waterfront and military heritage, encourages us to meditate on the role of
urban design in the transformation of the contemporary city. The same principles connect this case study to several other redevelopment operations in the
European city and, in particular, the French port cities. Starting from the '80s, in order to face
the crisis in the industrial sector, several port cities, including Marseille, Le Havre, Dunkirk and
Saint-Nazaire, produced diverse studies and projects regarding their obsolete or abandoned
industrial areas, in order to boost port activities and to allocate the vacant places to new
activities. Acknowledgment of the value of these port areas as urban resources (as well as
cultural heritage) has consented the regeneration of (often previously interrupted or abandoned)
economic, social and spatial activity.
Nuovi dispositivi spaziali per la rigenerazione urbana: il caso studio delle caserme Caretto e Boscariello di Secondigliano a Napoli
Authors: Zucchi Giovanni
Published: July 2022

Le aree dimesse, veri propri buchi neri nei tessuti urbani, rappresentano un’importante
occasione per lo sviluppo delle città da contrapporre ai modelli dello sprawl, intervenendo come
nodo centrale del dibattito e della ricerca urbana contemporanea.
Bisogna però interrogarsi sulle possibilità del progetto di tali aree, le cui trasformazioni possono
avere ricadute enormi sull’assetto della città stravolgendone la geografia e gli stessi rapporti
posizionali.
Considerare la rigenerazione un modello da contrapporre allo sprawl, necessita innanzitutto
un’analisi di quei caratteri che hanno favorito i modelli di diffusione urbana, rendendoli appetibili
sia agli investimenti che alle pratiche insediative. Bisogna quindi capire cosa porta una persona
a preferire l’outlet alle vie del centro o la villetta suburbana all’appartamento in città.
Si delinea così un nuovo modello di spazi per la città, che ibrida le tipologie tipicamente urbane
con quelle più contemporanee dello spawl, secondo i dispositivi dinamici e flessibili della
rigenerazione urbana.
In questo senso si intende proporre il caso studio delle caserme Caretto e Boscariello situate a
Napoli nel quartiere di Secondigliano ed oggetto della sperimentazione progettuale da me
svolta nell’ambito della tesi di laurea in Ingegneria Edile-Architettura presso l’Università
Federico II di Napoli.
In questa vasta area militare sottoposta a dismissione dalla Variante al piano regolatore,si
pensa di collocare un nuovo tessuto urbano che, in un territorio altamente complesso, vuole
rappresentare una nuova forma di centralità urbana capace di riattivare l’intera periferia Nord di
Napoli.
Digital tools for urban development project: GIS application to PTAL assess and land valuation and traffic simulation for piazza renewal
Authors: Chen Zhen , Camolese Samuele
Published: July 2022

Nowadays, the increasing density and expansion of urban areas make cities as complexes with
massive activities. The new input of the upgrating urban functions brings uncertainty to the
transformation of downtown. Previous to the urban design, to visualize and assess the land
value, and evaluate the possible density of the urban development supported by the public
transport, a GIS platform is required.
During the project of urban renewal design for the 13 km2 area of downtown Baotou (China), our
GIS work as advanced territorial analysis tools, helps to provide the technological support for
the decision of the urban spatial plan. The overall project site has been divided into a 20x20m
grid, and in each cell a specific value for each factor deems relevant for this design stage was
assigned. The factors include topographical morphology (sun exposure, elevation, slope or flat
terrain), the positive ones are the accessibility, proximity to public transport stops, to waterfront
or park, to attractive places (cultural and commercial facilities), and so on. While the traffic
congestion, pollution and noise are considered as Negative factors. For some important urban
facilities like shopping mall, theater or symbolic buildings the calculation of “visibility” is also a
crucial factor. This process allows us to derive new information from the existing data and to
analyze complex spatial relationships.
The public transport service provides great support for the future construction. Based on the
capacity of public transport modals and the estimated frequency, the PTAL (Public Transport
Accessibility Level) map, produced by GIS as well, reflects the acceptable passengers and
hence shows the support to the density of the future development, the PTAL level is direct
related to modal share and quantify the usage of private car. In this sense the 3D PTAL map
can be regarded as the visualization of the city’s skyline. Vice versa, if the density estimated by PTAL could not meet the requirement of official plan the increase of certain capacity and
frequency of public transport vehicles can be accordingly suggested.
In a word, the maps of land value and development density could help the urban plan to utilize
the land portion or find suitable locations for main urban attractors in a more reasonable way.
In addition, in some cases the renewal design of some important urban areas requires the
modification of traffic flows. Does the new project meet the necessary of urban livability in term
of traffic generation? Or would it improve the organization of traffic flows? The traffic simulation
could assess and visualize the effect. Our project for Piazza Santa Croce (Parma) demonstrates
this solution.
Utilización de nuevas tecnologías en la revalorización de espacios públicos significantes para la sociedad
Authors: Serrano-Estrada Leticia , Martí-Ciriquián Pablo , Nolasco-Cirugeda Almudena
Published: July 2022

Los espacios públicos tienen la capacidad de producir vínculos emocionales entre los
ciudadanos y el medio construido y son más significativos cuanto más tiempo han ejercido
como contenedores de sus acciones cotidianas. No obstante, la creciente virtualidad de las
relaciones sociales ha transformado la manera de interactuar con y en la ciudad, y con ello,
surge la cuestión objeto de la presente investigación: ¿qué relación urbana se establece entre
los espacios públicos relevantes para la sociedad actual y el centro histórico de la ciudad? Para
abordar la interrogante se consideraron las ciudades históricas de la provincia de Alicante como
caso de estudio, y se puso en valor un espacio público —plaza— de éxito por cada una,
entendiendo que, el calificativo de éxito es sinónimo de concurrencia ciudadana. Como
herramienta de selección de la plaza de cada ciudad se utilizó la red social foursquare. Se
analizó entonces la relación urbana de la plaza respecto a la trama histórica de cada ciudad,
donde se aprecia que la ubicación de la plaza responde a dos casuísticas de relación. Por un
lado, con el tejido histórico de la ciudad, y por otro lado, con los ejes principales que conectan
al resto de la ciudad y que, generalmente, responden a la dirección de trazado del ensanche.

Public spaces have the capability to produce emotional relationships between the citizens and
the built environment. The longer the spaces witness day-to-day doings, the stronger these relationships become. However, the increasing virtuality has modified the way social interaction
happens with and within city spaces. Thus, the following question arises: what is the urban
relation between today’s relevant public spaces and the historic city centre? To that end, the
Alicante province’s historical cities were considered as case studies. A socially relevant public
plaza of each city was selected using Foursquare, a location-based social networking website
for mobile devices. Once selected, the plaza location was analyzed in relation to the city’s
historical centre and two situations were identified. First, the plaza possesses a strong spatial
association to the city’s historical area, and second, it is connected to the rest of the city through
main axes that, in most cases, correspond to the direction of the urban expansion axes.
Discovering Patterns of Urban Development in Skopje
Authors: Gievska Sonja , Marina Ognen , Ilievski Ilija
Published: July 2022

The goal of this research is to develop a tool that employs intelligent technologies to
capture the patterns of urban change driven by a diverse set of context factors. Data
mining provides opportunities and knowledge embedded in the urban structure, which
complement and extend the data previously obtained with other approaches. A case
study is in place to investigate the modeling and predictive capabilities of the tool. A
number of simulations have revealed distinctive local patterns of urban change in the city
of Skopje, shaped by local urban spatial and institutional structures. This study shows the
possibilities of intelligent technologies in the interpretation of the historical evidence of
urban development and better understanding of the urban phenomenon.
Ejemplos de realidad modificada aplicada a la desmaterialización de fachadas mediante imágenes digitales

Es tal la organización del cerebro, que su poder integrador es mayor en los ojos, mucho menor
en el oído y aun menor en el olfato y en el gusto. Esto significa que desde el punto de vista de
trasmisión de información, el ancho de banda más amplio se encuentra cuando se utiliza el
sentido de la vista en cualquier proceso de comunicación humano.
Bajo el nombre de realidad modificada se recogen todas aquellas técnicas que permiten ofrecer
una imagen modificada de la(s) superficie(s) de un objeto, ya sea para lograr una mejor calidad
o más realismo, o para obtener una composición totalmente diferente que distorsione la
realidad. Para llevar a cabo dicho proceso, se utilizan las tecnologías digitales que permiten
eliminar la frontera existente entre realidad e irrealidad. La amplia variedad de posibilidades
que ésta ofrece, ha facilitado el establecimiento de un estatus de realidad, denominada
“Mediated Reality” que en este artículo se denominará “Realidad Modificada”.
Este tipo de realidad favorece la experimentación, pudiendo adoptar, potenciar o desestimar
aspectos puestos en práctica en estos entornos, en la propia cotidianidad. Se trataría pues de
un espacio de interrelación entre los espacios cotidianos reales y esa realidad modificada, en
que las propias experiencias en estos entornos producen una mutua influencia, generando una
ruptura de las fronteras entre ambos.
En este artículo se describirá dicha realidad, se mostrarán los elementos principales de diseño
que se deben tener en cuenta a la hora de ofrecer imágenes de elevada calidad, los
condicionantes de este tipo de tecnologías, y se mostrarán aplicaciones reales de esta
tecnología.

Regarding the organization of the brain, the integrative power is greater in the eyes, much less
in the ear and even less on smell and taste. It means that from the perspective of information
transmission, the bandwidth is larger when the sense of sight is the way in witch any human
communication process happen.
The name Mediated Realims refers to those techniques that offer a modified image of an object,
either for better quality or realism, or to get a totally different composition distorting reality. In
order to carry out this process, we use digital technologies that eliminate the border between
reality and unreality. This Mediated Realism offers the possibility of doing experimentation in the daily life. It
produces a new space of interaction between reality and the spaces produced by Mediated
Realism, generating a breakdown of the boundaries between both of them.
In this paper we describe this reality, we will show the main elements of design that must be
taken into account in order to produce high quality images and the constraints of this type of
technology, and finally we will show real applications of this technology.
Citta', spazio e tempo: l’applicazione di un HGIS per la storia urbana
Authors: Ferrighi Alessandra
Published: July 2022

La città è frutto dell'opera dell'uomo. Attraverso processi di lunga durata l’uomo ha costruito la
forma della città adattando lo spazio circostante e modificando l’ambiente. Indagando tali
processi, la storia delle città può essere narrata attraverso la ricerca e lo studio delle fonti, le
interpretazioni e le analisi delle stesse. I luoghi o gli eventi legati alla città sono caratterizzati dai
due concetti di Spazio e Tempo. Ogni città è stata creata in un determinato spazio e in un
determinato tempo; ogni evento si è svolto in momento preciso e in un luogo specifico. I
personaggi della storia sono vissuti in un intervallo temporale, hanno contribuito a segnare quel
momento con azioni che sono riconoscibili come tracce nella storia. Siano essi personaggi
illustri, che uomini del fare.
Questa ricerca è nata dall'idea di trovare altri e diversi modi di comunicare, grazie alle nuove
tecnologie, le trasformazioni, le stratificazioni e i cambiamenti delle città legati agli eventi
naturali, alle decisioni politiche e amministrative avvenute nel corso della storia delle città
stesse. Quando si narra la storia della città si fa riferimento, anche se non espressamente, alle
due tematiche di Spazio e Tempo perché, come detto, le azioni si svolgono in momenti e luoghi
definititi o circoscrivibili. L'HGIS (Historical GIS) se applicato alla storia urbana consente di
mettere in relazione Spazio e Tempo nella lettura delle trasformazioni della città e del territorio
circostante.
Entropía, memoria y prospectiva: la exploración de un borde paisajístico en la frontera noroeste de México
Authors: Peimbert Alejandro J.
Published: July 2022

A 110 años de fundada, la ciudad de Mexicali cuenta con un paisaje que marca los contrastes
entre la ciudad planeada, la ciudad construida y la ciudad habitada. Este enclave, es el único
accidente topográfico de la ciudad y es identificado como una zona de contrastes. Es posible
constatar que dichos contrastes son producto de las tensiones entre distintas prácticas:
planificar, construir y habitar. Cuando el urbanismo se ve limitado para interpretar las tensiones
y conciliaciones entre política, diseño e imaginario, resulta pertinente acercarse a otros
mecanismos de lectura.
Este trabajo aborda una exploración ante dichas tensiones que, en conjunto, son la innegable
memoria del territorio. Identificar las narrativas del poder, implícitas en el ordenamiento
territorial y leer las re-significaciones que los habitantes y transeúntes hacen sobre lo
planificado implica remitirse a los ideales del derecho a la ciudad y a las prácticas de la vida
cotidiana; aunque no deja de presentar un estrecho enlace con uno de los propósitos del
landscape urbanism: la recuperación del paisaje en la esfera cultural.
El trabajo es un acercamiento a un borde paisajístico, tangente a la franja fronteriza más
transitada de América. La ponencia expone los significados del poder que se revelan en el
territorio y, al mismo tiempo, los que subyacen en los espacios de encuentro de dicho borde
conocido como “Río Nuevo”. Son inevitables aquellos significados en torno al riesgo.
Care of the territory and seismic events: searching for place identity resilience in post-earthquake reconstruction
Authors: Sepe Marichela
Published: July 2022

The devastation wreaked by earthquakes, floods and other natural catastrophes occurs on a
time scale which is inversely proportional to that involved in reconstructing and readapting the
places, their values and sense of identity. At the same time, the latter activities bring about a
rapid transformation in the movements of people and objects and in ways of thinking. There are
three main factors in safeguarding the cultural and identity resources of a place subject to
natural disasters: to establish a culture of risk in the population in relation to the historical
identity of places; to provide for a conservation plan before a disaster; to adopt a
multidisciplinary approach to damage and assessment. Starting from these premises, the case
study of post seismic reconstruction of Kitano-cho in Kobe, Japan, affected by an earthquake in
1995, is presented. The neighbourhood of Kitano-Cho is one of the historical centres of Kobe.
Foreign businessmen settled here in the late nineteenth century, when the port of Kobe was
opened up to international trade. The businessmen’s houses today have become museum
houses showcasing the culture of the countries their dwellers came from. The catastrophic
earthquake that struck Kobe in 1995 also impacted the Kitano-Cho area. Efforts were mainly
devoted to the reconstruction of tourist areas, neglecting the reconstruction of traditional
residences and public spaces.
3D interactive visualization of crowd simulations at urban scale
Authors: Fanini Bruno , Calori Luigi
Published: July 2022

Digital representations of the urban environment have constantly increased their complexity:
starting from fixed chunks of 2D segment depicting the building base to complex data-sets
comprising several layer of information such as multi-resolution GIS data combined with on field
3D data acquisition. Cities in particular and urban development in general emerge from the
bottom up, so crowd is an essential part of the city environment but it is often absent from most
of the interactive system used to present urban data and landscapes. This paper presents a
modular, real-time system based on the open-source framework OpenSceneGraph, providing a
realistic and efficient 3D visualization in real-time of complex animated pedestrians within large
urban environments, along with tools to visualize, explore and study macroscopic and emerging
properties. The system allows to represent large crowd simulations or automatized tracking of
real pedestrians streamed from external applications: the component-based design aims to
provide efficient workflow for a multi-disciplinary team, including 3D modelers, urban planners,
computer scientists, experts of crowd dynamics and other professionals. To evaluate quality,
performance and interaction, the system was applied to the case study of “T-Days” in Bologna
historical center, using pre-existing 3D open-data assets: some results in terms of performance
and workflow among different professionals will be presented.
Analysis of the spectre of urban density from the perspective of compactness of forms: a response to a new urban vulnerability
Authors: De Smet Isabelle , Cenci Jérémy , Laplume David , Becue Vincent
Published: July 2022

The concepts of density and urban morphology are today at the centre of debates on
architecture and urban planning. The concept of density provides a solution to the issue of
urban sprawl and, consequently, offers a way of rethinking sustainable urban and rural
development. The densification of urban centres makes it possible to reduce a vulnerability
related to the excessive use of suburban areas. However, densification is not a “turnkey”
solution. Numerous criteria relating to its use are poorly understood. As numerous contemporary
experiences have demonstrated, urban densification exposes space systems to new, unknown
forms of vulnerability.
First, we will define the concept of vulnerability, specifically that of urban vulnerability, as well as
related concepts, such as those of risk, hazard and challenges. Secondly, we will pinpoint forms
of vulnerability inherent in the over-densification paradigm: this will involve determining the
specific hazards, challenges and risks of this space system. Thirdly, we will demonstrate how
the concept of compactness makes it possible to review at the different urban levels the
densification processes of territories and urban areas. Finally, we will propose a tool for the
optimisation of compact urban morphologies for use in countering the related hazards and risks.
Abitare domani: sfide e opportunità per la Smart City

"La nascita dell’agricoltura segna, agli inizi della civiltà, la costituzione delle due più antiche
professioni al mondo: l’agronomo e l’architetto. … L’agronomo in grado di comprendere la
qualità del terreno e sapere come trattare le sementi, e l’architetto in quanto deputato
all’organizzazione creativa del nuovo ambiente umano, ovvero la gestione dello spazio che
racchiude la zona nella quale si concentrano le attività e la vita degli agricoltori”.
Ecco la nascita della città, uno dei tre assi portanti del convegno “Città, Memoria, Gente” in cui
si inseriva la sessione “Architettura, Sostenibilità, Energia” che ho moderato. Senza la città i tre
temi della sessione non avrebbero lo stesso portato. Un casale isolato nella campagna è
un’architettura, è sostenibile e produce la propria energia, almeno quella alimentare per i suoi
abitanti. Ci interessava però mettere a fuoco il meccanismo che unisce gli edifici al loro essere
insieme in un agglomerato che si è fatto città, dove si intessono relazioni umane, dove si creano
condizioni di sostenibilità, dove si consuma ma si può produrre energia.

"The birth of agriculture marks the beginning of civilization, the formation of the two oldest
professions in the world: the agronomist and the architect. The agronomist ... able to
understand the quality of the land and to know how to treat the seeds, and the architect as
deputy of the creative organization of the new human environment, such as the management of
the space that encloses the area where activities and the lives of farmers are concentrated"

Here it is the birth of the “Cities”, one of the three themes of the conference "Cities, Memory,
People" where the session "Architecture, Sustainability, Energy ", which I moderated, was.
Without the city the three themes of the session would not have brought the same. An isolated
house in the countryside is an architecture, it is sustainable and produces its own energy, at
least feed its inhabitants. We were interested, however, to focus on the mechanism that links
the buildings to their being together in a cluster that has made the city where human relations
weave, where sustainable conditions could be created, where it is possible to consume as well
to produce energy.
Identity over fragmentation:the case of Vila Nova de Gaia
Authors: Sepúlveda Alexandra , Vaz Luís , Quadrada Regina
Published: July 2022

Porto and VilaNova de Gaia: two cities have grown around the same natural infrastructure, but
have developed in totally different ways. Porto, the second city in the country is defined by its
culture and very well-known for the Port Wine that has actually always been produced and
handled in Gaia. Gaia became just a periphery, never having the chance to create its own
identity, despite its amazing landscape where its trading post was settled.
Gaia is currently a crossing land – it acts both as a passage for those commuting to Porto and
as dormitory. Its urban tissue is mainly consolidated along one axis alone, being that all
remaining territory has been despised - in some cases almost abandoned, in others impossible
to intervene on due to normative constraints.
Strategic territory planning has been growing as a promising alternative within land
development policies. Based on new methodological grounds it is supported by prospective
analysis, flexible and adaptable measures and local agent involvement and aims at defining
structuring development axes and improving territorial competitive performance.
The purpose of this work is to highlight the importance of addressing Gaia’s weaknesses and to
present an approach through which they can be addressed. Hence, two parallel nonexclusive
scenarios are drawn: the first one for short term implementation, aiming to take into
consideration the current economic conjuncture; the second one, requiring larger investments,
retrieves some already made (and well-known) proposals that shall not be forgotten and shall,
hence, be considered on the long-term.
Welfare policy in Verona: from Sant’Antonio hospital to New hospital complex
Authors: Rainoldi Valeria
Published: July 2022

The history of the Veronese hospitals constitutes one of the most important and interesting
chapters of the urban events. St. Zeno in his sermon on the avarice, already praised the
Veronese inhabitants for their great availability toward suffering and sick people, to the point
that almost every monastery and parishes became a reception centre for pilgrims, distressed
and sick people.
Population growth implied to improve the health initiatives. The events happened in Verona at
the beginning of the twentieth century are a precious proof of the contribution which doctors and
wise administrators offered to the Veronese health care system. It is a history intimately related
to the munificent charity thanks to which the local protagonists sustained the birth and the
development of the hospital complex (bequest of Alessandri, Cressotti Zorzi, Failoni, Roveda,
only for quoting some of them). The hospital administration, together with doctors and
inhabitants faced with burning and active debates, the transfer of the civil hospital from its seat,
situated in the thin urban fabric of the city centre, to a suburb area: Borgo Trento.
Borgo Trento is the hospital which the Veronese feel like their own hospital, characterized by a
system of pavilions, long tree-lined avenue and luxuriant gardens. A new hospital complex,
Borgo Roma Policlinico, was born in the 1970s in the south suburb of the city, offering great
town planning and charitable opportunities.
The integration of the two hospitals and the constitution of the Azienda Ospedaliera Integrata
Verona are most recent history (2010), but seems follow the steps of the union between the
Alessandri Children’s Hospital and the Sant’Antonio Civil Hospital, as a prosecution of the
troubled hospital history of fusions, transfers and divisions.

Return to the city
Authors: Czajka Roman , Sobolewski Andrzej
Published: July 2022

Attempts to revolutionize the spatial structure of Wroclaw emerged in the early twentieth century. Max Berg introduced, in the years 1919 -1925, redevelopment plan of the city center involving the demolition of inter-market buildings and introduction of modern skyscrapers which are based on the American model of high buildings of the city from the late nineteenth century. Ernst May postulated the decentralization of Wroclaw by building a grid of the satellite districts for 50 to 100 thousand inhabitants, acting as independent towns with their own administrative, economic and cultural services. Adolf Rading in his visions expanded Wroclaw linearly adjusting the shape of the city to the course of the Odra River and the main rail-road trail. Expansion - intense urban sprawl - began to realize half a century later. Bedroom suburbs of metropolis started to surround Wroclaw, without adequate facilities and links with the city. The chaotic development model of urban agglomeration was in conflict with thoughtful assumptions formed half-century ago. In the nineties, together with the political economic and social transformation, buildings in Wroclaw were intensively built. These were mostly single-family houses. Sprawl, as previously global phenomenon, has now become a nationwide problem. Some residents, tempted by attractions of suburban house, moved out of the city. It took only two decades that enthusiasm waned. Reality and sociological studies have begun to argue that this model of functioning, without the execution of all elements of the spatial model surrounded by the satellite housing estates (mainly communication connections) is not optimal. The latest concepts of development of Wroclaw assume a "return to the city" and making better use of its urban potential. A few peripheral districts of the city try to be subjected to activation and revitalization, aiming at creating there new identity, remaining well connected to the city center. This is achieved, among others, by the creation of local centers with markets, using the tradition of places. These are mainly: Psie Pole, Leœnica and Brochów. An interesting experience also seems to be the implementation of the new WUWA on Zerniki. The analysis of the indicated cases can formulate initial conclusions concerning the reasonableness and attractiveness of "back to the city".
Social group as a factor activating the city
Authors: Jagiełło-Kowalczyk Magdalena
Published: July 2022

Background: One of the social groups that influence the activation of the city to the greatest extent are young people, including students. Social spaces dedicated to this group are to embellish the city, have a positive effect on its image, but they are also to be useful.
Methods: This paper has been written on the basis of the Author’s study devoted to finding an answer to the question how much a social group that uses a specific space influences the activation of this space. The examined social group were young people, students from two cities: Toronto and Cracow. The spaces used in the study are places separated from school and university buildings, intended for individual study for high school and university students.
Results: The results of the study indicate that one of the important factors that according to young people studying in the cities improve the quality of the social space is the existence of legibly marked places intended for individual study, that is places where students can study and spend time after their classes and lectures. Such places animate and activate the space connected with them.
Conclusion: The social group of young people who still attend schools and universities constitutes a very important factor of the activation of cities. Providing young people with an attractive offer connected with their individual education has an invigorating effect on the city.
The difference in lifestyle: "a shopping list" and social engagement as urban process stimulator
Authors: Mikielewicz Renata
Published: July 2022

The urbanized space mirrors the way the society works. We have on one side the commercialization of the space and on the other side attempts to make the space more human through the social engagement of architects and urban planners. The yearning for authenticity is confronted with different forms of standardization of urban space and the domination of global brands. The space of a city core’s streets is full of brands, which symbolize the progress. The researchers concentrate mostly on this most visible aspect of globalization phenomenon when describing the urban processes, which are visible in the space. At the same time the strategies based on the idea of ‘the creative city’ for rather many of the cities, also polish towns, became an element of specific survival strategy in the time of profound changes in social and economic areas, caused by globalization. The author analyzes some of these contradicted? or/and consistent? types of nowadays urban culture trying to answer the question about the role of urban design in the context of contemporary trends shaping the locality and the global aspects of the city and its structure and concentrates on different examples of contemporary cities. The search for possible solutions based on sustainable development and the confrontation with the real urban development strategies (examples include the case study for the city of Lodz) are the starting points for the author to find answers how to re-shape the urban space into a user friendly city.
Is compact urbanity more connected?
Authors: Liu Xilu , Farooq Ameen
Published: July 2022

The concept of urban compactness is widely accepted as an approach in modern architectural and urban design fields, this belief may vary relative to the density and connectivity of various neighborhoods working within cities of developing countries.
Beijing has several compact residential neighborhoods in many of its urban districts. This paper argues that urban compactness as predictor of connectivity may carry an altogether different meaning when compared to the U.S objectives for achieving sustainable compactness by increasing density that is tactically connected.
The accelerated pace of migration following the economic progress from the countryside to cities in China helped grew the middle class while shifting demographics has added serious demands of housing and infrastructure within and outside of Beijing districts and its urban core.
Various neighborhoods within and round Beijing districts are swelling with unwarranted compactness, causing serious environmental and ecological challenging making basic living conditions unchecked. In addition, crowding, traffic congestion, pollution and limited housing surrounding this compactness is a threat to the public health.
Several residential blocks of various sizes in close proximity to each other appear to add physical compactness seemingly well threaded in urban fabric various urban districts. Morphological analysis of selected neighborhoods revealed that many urban neighborhoods similar to case study examples are marred with unregulated urban interventions with little cohesive system of connectivity within these neighborhoods.
This study analyzed morphological patterns of street connectivity using Space Syntax method tounderstand if physical compactness also means more connected. The morphological variables notably, integration, connectivity and choice were used as key variables to describe the quality of connectedness of a diverse range of mixed-use commercial and residential typologies that were served by dense street networks.
Analysis of spatial morphology of selected compact neighborhoods provided perceptive clues to redevelop a spatial program to bring about a meaningful design intervention to achieve better connections to the unregulated compact urban neighborhoods for achieving more pedestrian-friendly urban neighborhoods that could co-exist with the existing vehicular street networks.
The findings indicated that much of mixed-use developments in close proximity to each other were part of a fragmented maze of dead-end streets serving these residential blocks. The incoherent street networks serving these neighborhoods created a lack of control between pedestrian and vehicular circulations causing congestions and unsustainable conditions for social and public realm to coexist.
Virtual reality of the sustainable immaterial urban networks: simulation co-benefits approach as an strategy to survive in the dystopian city
Authors: García Ruiz Dulce Esmeralda
Published: July 2022

In order that we can create cities that can adapt quickly to change, we can look at the co-benefits as a strategy for a fast implementation in a view of the contemporary city that want to have immediately results in a smart position in the information age.
On the premise of an individual transformation point of an ecological baseline to the highest collective level, a city must be planned and adapted to provide itself with minimal dependence and in a neutral equilibrium with the nature. The co-benefits will help us to decrease the correlational break between economy, society and nature, under an inclusive environment of highest social inclusion.
Using the theoretical approach of Foladori, Castells and Smith, and making use of virtual tools of modeling and simulation; we can confirm and anticipate, which are the better strategies to be employed in the actual macro contemporary city. This network model is like a strategy of transformation for the environment and the huge impacts made in this global, dual, faster, green and smart time.
Socio-cultural and environmental benefits from familiar orchards, in semirural localities at central highlands of Mexico
Authors: Gutiérrez Cedillo Jesús Gastón , Balderas Plata Miguel Ángel
Published: July 2022

The aim of the study was to analyze the sociocultural and environmental perception of agro ecosystems with familiar orchard (AEFO) owners, in semirural localities at ecological transition zone of the State of Mexico. Methodology includes four steps: Geographic characterization of localities and AEFO; 2) Analysis of social benefits that orchards provide; and 3) Analysis of the influence that AEFO has over familiar life quality. The investigation was realized at twelve localities in three municipalities of the State of Mexico, mean bye structured and semi structured interviews, accomplished with on field direct observation Familiar orchards provide to families multiple social, environmental, ecologic, economic and cultural benefits; they contribute to have medicinal, condiments, ornamental, even ceremonial plants; for familiar consumption, sales or exchanges. These spaces are also managed for small scale domestic animals nourishment, to obtain fuel material, raw material for construction and fences for protection. Therefore, familiar orchards are considered important agro ecosystems at semirural localities, that function mean bye complex relations between all their components. The sociocultural and environmental benefits provided by these multifunctional productive agro systems, may become an important strategy of social cohesion and alimentary security for rural families, and at same time, one way to preserve the regional natural resources.
Valorization of urban heritage: modeling UAV 3D data for mobile platforms
Authors: Marques Luís Filipe , Tenedório José António , Burns Malcolm , Marques João
Published: July 2022

The valorisation of the urban heritage is presently one of main topics discussed, mostly in the theme related conferences, treaties, conventions and programs. Mobile platforms (especially smartphones and tablets) may be very useful technological means for the agents in the territory. Admitting these assumptions, we created an information model for a mobile application (app) development, with a specific theme (water and city) that represents and describes architectural elements of a city. The selected architectural elements are those related with the water supply system in Lisbon built from XVIII to the XIX century.
The inclusion of these elements in a mobile platform requires 3D modelling, improving the visualization and alphanumeric information access (e.g. historical) very useful to the agents (in particular to the city visitors). 3D models were created based on terrestrial and UAV surveys, considering rapid and authentic data acquisition. The stages of building the models were: i) Data acquisition (UAV - flight planning and image acquisition); ii) Data processing; iii) Data visualization (App/AR). The created models are very realistic. However, the results may differ when processing the data in different software, especially concerning the level of detail. The technical challenge is to simplify the models to use in mobile platforms and maintain the level of realism. The Communication will present a case study of 3D modelling with UAV data and their representation in an Augmented Reality environment through mobile platforms.
The incidence of the criminal policy in the conformation of the public space
Authors: Monroy Carla
Published: July 2022

Mexican Criminal Policy is distinguished by its historical repression, the strategies implemented by the current government affected directly the violence and crime index. These facts beat and modified the conformation of the public space. Recreational places, parks, streets, squares, etc., stopped having the dynamism that used to have. On the other hand, the global postmodern speech changes the conception of the city, nowadays is privileged the consumption, so the city has transform in order to achieve the goals of the capitalism, with resulting of disjointed public spaces, hindering social relations.
Therefore, it is proposed to promote a Criminal Policy with an integral and social well-being approach, these will have an impact on the conformations of public space in the city and also will be understood as policies of development and urban design.
