ECO-COMPACT CITY is more efficient than SPRAWL CITY: it consumes less territory; it allows a correct density; it allows small retail to be on street and on square; it maximizes investment; it allows the creation of an efficient network of public utilities; it allows the creation of an efficient public transit system. It is based on the urban-neighbourhood pattern: the urban neighbourhood is an organic portion of the polycentric city, with a certain functional and administrative authonomy. Rich in public spaces, both open and built, proportionally to the social life of the group of citizens residents there. A Neighborhood is always presenting a centre, defined by clear boundaries and articulated through a structure of streets, squares and urban blocks. A Neighborhood includes a balanced system of activities: commercial, residential, productive, lodging, administrative, educational, office.

Abstract

ECO-COMPACT CITY is more efficient than SPRAWL CITY: it consumes less territory; it allows a correct density; it allows small retail to be on street and on square; it maximizes investment; it allows the creation of an efficient network of public utilities; it allows the creation of an efficient public transit system. It is based on the urban-neighbourhood pattern: the urban neighbourhood is an organic portion of the polycentric city, with a certain functional and administrative authonomy. Rich in public spaces, both open and built, proportionally to the social life of the group of citizens residents there. A Neighborhood is always presenting a centre, defined by clear boundaries and articulated through a structure of streets, squares and urban blocks. A Neighborhood includes a balanced system of activities: commercial, residential, productive, lodging, administrative, educational, office.
