Isobenefit Urbanism
Prof. D’Acci will talk about Isobenefit Urbanism (IU), a development approach to shaping urban form and functions through a simple code whose implementation results in Isobenefit cities where one can walk to reach most daily destinations, a closest centrality (where theatres, restaurant, schools, offices, promenades, shops…are located) and the closest access to continuous green land regardless where one lives, and regardless the size of the city.
IU, proposed since 2013, is recently gaining attention.
