Abstract

The Importance of Neighbourhood for Urban Resilience

Highlights

  • Encouraging the active mobility and implementing the urban resilience are two issues closely linked each to other but, at the same time, it is hard to get them together, conceivably because we are trying to find the answers by using unsuitable or inadequate scales

  • Studies demonstrated that connectivity is an important feature that our cities are losing causing negative impacts on their resilience [1,2]

  • Several urban studies took in consideration the neighbourhood dimension as a basic unit of an ensemble of public interconnected open spaces which constitutes the system of places that have value for residents [3,4,5]

Summary

Chiara Ortolani*

Several urban studies took in consideration the neighbourhood dimension as a basic unit At this scale it is possible to increase the relationship between people and the territory by increasing the pedestrian and cycling accessibility of urban space . The main aim of this work is to highlight the role of the neighbourhood scale in order to encourage an active mobility and to implement a real transition towards a resilient city. Results highlighted that neighbourhood represents a suitable dimension where inhabitants are able to identify problems, weaknesses, opportunities, personal and collective needs and possible solutions. This approach contributes to promote a greater knowledge of the territory and awareness of the dynamics that affect it among residents.
