INTERPRETAZIONI DI MOBILITÀ METROPOLITANA E RESILIENZA. IL CASO DI BOLOGNA

Abstract

The polysemous nature of the term "resilience" in urban policies is enabling more and more innovative multi-disciplinary entanglement and cooperation, implementing a virtuous dialogue between several knowledge domains as health, ecology, environment, socio-economy, planning. Significant schools of thought stress the role of mobility networks as a strategic issue for the interpretation of the resilience concept in terms of cohesion principles for territories and civic communities. Looking at the ‘space of movement’, new planning tools as SUMP (promoted by the EU) can allow to overcome ancient and persistent separations between mobility networks and the land use design by concretely implementing integrated regeneration strategies. The integrated planning process in the metropolitan area of Bologna appears particularly significant in terms of interpretation of metropolitan resilience related to the ‘space of movement’. Its recent planning path shows the dialogue of mobility networks, public transportation systems, dense urban patterns, green-blue corridors and public spaces which become ‘new urbanity’ realms.
