The x-minute city and car dependence
The x-minute city promotes active mobility by enhancing proximity to essential services and amenities. While primarily an urban planning model rather than a transport plan, achieving its mobility goals requires explicitly addressing car accessibility. This review of academic and grey literature reveals a prevailing focus on behaviour-promoting measures, while demand-management ones remain often overlooked. Moreover, broad time thresholds frequent…
The conflictual governance of street experiments, between austerity and post-politics
Car dependency greatly contributes to the climate crisis and the corrosion of public space. In response, cities are introducing pedestrianisation, cycle lanes or tactical urban interventions aimed at repurposing streets for other road users. Framed as ‘experiments’, these reallocations of street space disrupt traditional transport planning procedures, often with promising results in promoting active travel. They are also associated with deep conf…
Whose is this street? Actors and conflicts in the governance of pedestrianisation processes
Car sharing and socio-spatial justice
Car sharing is often celebrated as a new opportunity for a more sustainable mobility. One of its potential social benefits is the possibility for low-income, carless households to gain or maintain vehicle access without bearing the full costs of car ownership. However, poor attention has so far been paid to the effective potential of car sharing to improve the mobility options for disadvantaged people. In this paper a socio-spatial-justice approa…
Planning the transition to autonomous driving
Implementing TOD around suburban and rural stations
Transit Oriented Development (TOD) is an effective way to integrate land use and transport in pursuit of the goal of sustainable development. Most of the literature on TOD is devoted to station areas in urban contexts; even when TOD is considered with a regional approach, suburban and rural stations are poorly investigated. Analysing a case study, this paper explores spatial potentialities and constraints for TOD in suburban and rural contexts. T…
Teaching Land Use – Transport Interactions in Italy
Integrating land use and transport planning is seen as a key approach to pursue more sustainable mobility patterns, but it requires an interdisciplinary pedagogy for those who will be working in these fields: architects, spatial planners and engineers. This paper systematically examines – using syllabi analysis and teacher questionnaires – around 200 academic degree programmes offered by Italian universities, to verify how and to what extent this…
Institutionalizing Metropolitan cities in Italy. Success and limits of a centralistic, simplifying approach
The article presents an overview of the recent institutionalization in Italy of the ‘Metropolitan cities’ as introduced by the Law 56/2014. The study analyses the process of institutionalization of this new level of government, the rationales of the reform promoted by the Law and the reasons for its success in making the Metropolitan cities effective. Problematic issues that the reform has not solved and that can weaken its effectiveness are also…
