Le infrastrutture ferroviarie e la qualità della forma urbana

Abstract

The proposed topic is connected to the thinking on fragmentation of urban habitats provoked by infrastructures. The Urban Plan which deals with infrastructures in the area - assets which belong to the community and that make up fixed social capital - can be without doubt defined as a mobility plan. The values of the inhabitants should be found in this plan - if possible ubiquitous and not lacerated by fragmentation. In this article I would like to highlight the fact that the railway infrastructure, and more generally collective transport in its different forms, can be entrusted with the difficult task of re-establishing the equilibrium in a city that does not have a balanced use of the car - an awkward situation but at the same time one which it is becoming used to.
