Urban Mobility and Fabric: Networks and Spaces

This lecture explores the relationship between mobility and urban planning, focusing on the structuring of territories by networks and the creation of urban fabrics. It delves into the paradox of network urbanism, the ideal of isotropy, and the impact of activities and facilities on urban structure. The lecture also discusses the role of equipment in shaping spatial discontinuity and the importance of shared public spaces. Furthermore, it analyzes the structuring role of blue and green networks in urban development, emphasizing economic, traffic, ecological, and water networks. Through historical examples and theoretical frameworks, the lecture provides insights into the complex interplay between mobility, urban design, and spatial organization.
