Governare la transizione alla guida autonoma in un’ottica di vivibilità urbana
Full text linkLa diffusione dei veicoli a guida autonoma (VGA) promette di avere un impatto dirompente sulla mobilità urbana. Se in un primo momento la letteratura scientifica si è concentrata su aspetti di innovazione tecnologica, sicurezza, normativa e sui dilemmi etici associati all’automazione dei processi decisionali, negli ultimi anni sta emergendo un dibattito sui potenziali impatti urbani e territoriali di questa innovazione tecnologica, e su come governarli. In particolare, stanno emergendo preoccupazioni in merito a possibili criticità che la diffusione dei VGA (soprattutto se lasciata al mercato e non propriamente guidata dall’amministrazione pubblica) potrebbe generare, quali una crescente dipendenza dall’auto, il declino del trasporto pubblico locale, la riduzione della mobilità attiva, lo sprawl, etc.
Questo contributo presenta i risultati di un processo di backcasting collaborativo applicato sul caso studio di Torino, che ha definito una visione al 2050 basata sull’applicazione estensiva del modello dei superblocchi, e la roadmap per raggiungere tale visione, governando la diffusione dei VGA verso obiettivi di sostenibilità e vivibilità urbana. Gli esiti del progetto mostrano quanto indirizzare la transizione alla guida autonoma verso una visione desiderata sia un processo complesso, che richiede azioni già sul breve periodo, una pianificazione di medio e lungo periodo e la cooperazione tra molteplici soggetti e settori
Livable neighborhoods for sustainable cities: Insights from Barcelona
Full text linkThe paper proposes a reflection on the superblock model - or supermanzana, in its well-known Spanish application - in the context of the debate on the 15-minute city and on the functional reorganization of mobility and public space to improve the quality of life, health and accessibility in urban areas.
The impacts of car traffic on the livability of cities and neighborhoods, in terms of safety, air pollution, noise, but also in terms of consumption and quality of public space, are widely acknowledged. These issues are not new to the debate: since the first decades of the 20th century, with the advent and rapid diffusion of the automobile, concerns on the impacts of vehicular traffic and issues of urban livability and traffic separation have been raised by urban and transport planners. As a consequence, various models of neighborhood planning emerged, proposing solutions to limit these impacts.
The supermanzana model takes up the principles of neighborhood planning by identifying a main road network and setting up a system of superblocks within the meshes of this network, in order to improve accessibility, equity, health and livability; it aims on the one hand to transform public spaces at the neighborhood level and on the other hand to reorganize the existing urban structure. The application of the supermanzana model in Barcelona offers an interesting contribution to the debate on the 15-minute city, showing how the principle of traffic separation can be applied to existing, dense urban contexts, reclaiming public space to more livable neighborhoods and sustainable cities. The analysis of the case study of Barcelona can contribute to research and policy, learning from this experience and especially from the critical issues that emerged
Implementing the Supermanzana approach in Barcelona. Critical issues at local and urban level
Full text linkTo improve neighbourhood liveability and urban sustainability, Barcelona is seeking to re-organize its urban structure into superblocks, designed to discourage cut-through traffic and promote multiple uses of street space. Despite its potential, this approach is not without its limits, that should be properly taken into account. The implementation of the Supermanzana model in the Poblenou neighbourhood is explored in this paper to analyse its potentialities and constraints. Temporal synchronization between the urban level and the neighbourhood level turns out to be particularly important to reduce conflicts and criticalities
The conflictual governance of street experiments, between austerity and post-politics
Full text linkCar 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 conflicts and criticism, especially by citizens defending the right to drive. Despite their ability to stop experiments, such conflicts have been little explored in the debates about experimentation and automobility. Similarly, street experiments have in most cases been uncritically embraced as a panacea for urban mobility problems, with little attention paid to experimentation as an expression of austerity urbanism. This paper aims to deepen our understanding of street experiments and their relationship to automobility by contextualising their conflictual unfolding as an expression of post-political planning in the age of austerity urbanism. Through a critical examination of the Torino Mobility Lab, a collaborative pedestrianisation experiment in Torino, we show how the governance-beyond-state setup of such projects masks a complex and contested coexistence of different meanings and processes for reimagining urban mobility and public space. We show how conflicts emerge embedded in the problematic and post-political governance of transport experiments. Nested within austerity urbanism, the experiment remains limited in its ability to create healthy spaces for participation. We conclude by highlighting the limitations and contradictions of attempts to overcome car dependency embedded in post-political frameworks and neoliberal-austerity planning practices
