Movilidad y desarrollo sostenible. Paradigmas y estrategias para metrópolis resilientes

In the scientific debate and international political agendas, the themes of sustainable development increasingly suggest the need for a holistic and strategic approach to the governance of the contemporary city. In this context, mobility infrastructures are considered strategic components due to their potential in terms of reducing environmental pollution, mitigating socioeconomic inequalities, reconfiguring public space, towards a greener, more inclusive, and healthier city, capable of facilitating and make social interactions and natural cycles safer. In this context, the article aims to illustrate the first results of a research activity resulting from the collaboration of Italian, Spanish and French universities. The objective of the research is to define references for new interpretive paradigms and new strategies for sustainable and resilient urban development at the metropolitan scale, based on mobility. The research methodology adopted, connected to the case study analysis, is divided into four phases: definition of new paradigms in the debate, identification of strategies in metropolitan plans, experimentation, proposal of innovation scenarios for resilient metropolises, paying attention to the four main issues inherent to the concept of resilience: Equitable mobility to mitigate socioeconomic inequalities, Infrastructures designed with sensitivity to morphological characteristics, Non-polluting and flexible transportation systems to mitigate risks, Cooperation and technological innovation for smart governance. In particular, the results refer to the definition of integrated strategies for the regeneration of infrastructures, public and soft mobility, both at a metropolitan scale and at a local scale, combining long-lasting structural and strategic planning with tactical urbanism, as in the case of Bologna and Barcelona.
