Urban Transformations for the Transit City. An Integrated Approach for a Medium Sized Mediterranean City
https://orcid.org/http://orcid.org/0000-0001-7575-178X
The most innovative research contributions, both in the field of urban and transport studies, proposes a plenty integrated approach to land use and transport planning. In particular, several researches deal with the relationship between the settlement forms and mobility behaviors to provide an acceptable level of accessibility and mobility for the inhabitants.
Starting from these contributions this paper briefly argues about the need to address urban and mobility planning, toward to an integrated approach, assuming a specific point of view oriented to locate mixed use functions along transit corridors.
This perspective is discussed here also referring to the case study of Catania, a medium sized metropolitan city, in Southern Italy, were recent investments on the railway networks, as well as the ongoing revision of the city land use plan, are changing considerably the mobility of the entire metropolitan area.
The contribution focuses on the adopted planning criteria with the aim to activate new patterns for land use and transport integration in order to reduced private car dependence. The challenge of the proposal presented is to define a set of specific rules that can virtuous urban transformations by contextualizing these general and widely accepted principles to local conditions.
