Design criteria | Strategies for environmental, economic, and social sustainability |
---|---|
Compactness | • Build and develop centrally • Concentrate around strategic nodes • Complement and mix • Reserve outer city areas for future development |
Density | • High density of built objects in designed and emergent compact urban form • Diverse scales of built objects • Distribution of building footprints with frequent larger buildings • Greater density in strategic nodes • Prioritized density close to the central points of strategic nodes • High–density hand in hand with multidimensional mixed land use |
Mixed land use | • Physical land use mix (horizontal/spread of facilities, vertical mix of uses, amenity, public space, etc.) • Economic mix (business activity, production, consumption, etc.) • Social mix (housing, demography, lifestyles, visitors, etc.) • Greater mix of housing, business, and facilities in strategic nodes • Multidimensional mixed land use hand in hand with sustainable transportation |
Sustainable transportation | • Cycling and walking • Public transport (metro, buses, tram, etc.) • Mobility management • Increased accessibility through public transport infrastructure improvements • Sustainable transportation hand in hand with multidimensional mixed land use and high density • Network structure of link areas to connect the major nodes of the transport system • Separate lanes for the public transport for faster journey time and a punctual and reliable system • More services along the main corridors for greater frequency • An easy to understand, safe, and secure system for guaranteeing quality and service • Multi-model traveling in strategic nodes to support their dense and diverse central points |
Green structure | • Green areas and parks • Green areas hand in hand with density • Protection and integration of natural, agricultural, and cultural areas through intensification |
Intensification | • Increase in population • Increase in redevelopment of previously developed sites, subdivisions and conversions, and additions and extensions • Increase in development of previously undeveloped urban land • Increase in density and diversity of sub-centers • Investment in and improvement of transport infrastructure and services |
