L’impronta urbana della mobilità

Abstract

Each innovation in the forms of communication has been matched by a drastic consequent modification of the organization of the space, which has always led to new urban configurations and important transformations
of the existing ones, so it is still to be imagined how the new methods of communication and transport, current and imminent, are revisiting the city and how they can inevitably reconfigure it. In fact, the territorial urban settlement always follows the imprint of the prevailing communication system of the moment. In addition, the acceleration caused by the telematic-tertiary revolution adds to the ongoing trend, promoting teleworking and production decentralization, while inducing indiscriminate consumption of the territory in a centripetal manner. The available technologies are therefore altering the concept of ‘stayin’, and by now no one can consider himself isolated from a physical obstacle or from too long distances of time, and in this the city ‘ramps’ private from traditional hierarchies. The methods activated to deal with the latest epidemic have accentuated the concept of settlement/housing isotropy, demonstrating the full potential of this model, contributing to its implicit strengthening. Ultimately, the territorial settlement relationship and the usual urban values, the ways of transporting things and people according to individual and collective needs, the value assigned to space and with this the dynamics that govern cities, is radically changing. It is increasingly useful to imagine new transformative scenarios to be proposed and controlled as they develop, especially for existing and historicized cities.
