NEW ECO-COMPACT CITIES FOR THE WORLD THAT EMERGES FROM THE CRISIS The world that emerges from the most serious economic crisis since 1929 needs cities radically different from those of the past century based upon automobile and sprawl. The new urban policy carried out by President Barack Obama is clear about that. The new cities should be ecologically conceived, compact, and efficient. No more skyscrapers floating in a desert of car-parking. No more suburbs that consume our precious countryside. No more polluting commercial malls. No more sprawl that creates a territory impossible to manage, degraded, and unsafe. New Eco-Efficient Cities will be based upon compactness, mixed-use, retail, pedestrian accessibility, and an efficient system of public transportation. To answer this challenging issue, CIVICARCH Lab-University of Ferrara (Engineering Department) and A VISION OF EUROPE presents the 5th edition of Bologna's International Triennale Conference with more than 100 architects, urban planners, public and private administrators from all over the world.

Abstract
NEW ECO-COMPACT CITIES FOR THE WORLD THAT EMERGES FROM THE CRISIS The world that emerges from the most serious economic crisis since 1929 needs cities radically different from those of the past century based upon automobile and sprawl. The new urban policy carried out by President Barack Obama is clear about that. The new cities should be ecologically conceived, compact, and efficient. No more skyscrapers floating in a desert of car-parking. No more suburbs that consume our precious countryside. No more polluting commercial malls. No more sprawl that creates a territory impossible to manage, degraded, and unsafe. New Eco-Efficient Cities will be based upon compactness, mixed-use, retail, pedestrian accessibility, and an efficient system of public transportation. To answer this challenging issue, CIVICARCH Lab-University of Ferrara (Engineering Department) and A VISION OF EUROPE presents the 5th edition of Bologna's International Triennale Conference with more than 100 architects, urban planners, public and private administrators from all over the world.
