Cities have the capability of providing
something for everybody, only
because, and only when, they are
created by everybody.
(Jane Jacobs)
All of us articulate our understanding
of the city in different ways, thus
implying that cities are kaleidoscopes
of plurality, a multiplicity of ideas,
perceptions, theories, models.
(Batty, 2013)

“Data is the new oil. It’s valuable, but if unrefined it cannot really
be used. It has to be changed into gas, plastic, chemicals, etc to
create a valuable entity that drives profitable activity; so must
data be broken down, analyzed for it to have value”
Clive Humby 2006
"the paradox of the great civilization change consists in the fact
that we have practically unlimited access to information and data
and yet we are nearly unable to use it in any way".

1. economically active population does not have enough time to attend
meetings, consequently only children and elderly people's opinions
are collected;
2. people consider physical participation as a waste of time, because
the final decision will be taken by technicians and politicians;
3. often the participatory phase begins when decisions have already
been taken, just to build consensus about the choice;
4. people may be inhibited in speaking in public;
5. in a public meeting citizens not always have an immediate idea or a
ready answer;
6. often the person who screams is right;
7. screams are often instrumental to boycott new ideas.

In order to understand cities we must view them not simply as places in space but as systems of
networks and flows. To understand space we must understand flows, and to understand flows, we
must understand networks—the relations between objects that compose the system of the city.
Complexity sciences, social physics, urban economics, transportation theory, regional science, and
urban geography, can support theories and methods that reveal the deep structure of how cities
function.

includes theoretical principles
of the Space Syntax
Analysis, a set of techniques
for the representation,
quantification and
interpretation of spatial
configuration in buildings and
settlements
Place Syntax Analysis (PSA)
It combines Space Syntax Analysis and GIS-Analysis, within urban space.
It allows to perform analyzes of spatial configuration of streets taking into
account both street network layout and the location of spatial opportunities.
is based on the concept of “place”.
The PSA allows “to ‘load’
geographical data for improved
predictions of pedestrian movement
within space syntax” and to create
“more interestingly, an improved
tool for accessibility analysis in
general” (Ståhle et al., 2005).

The outputs of the AB network centrality analysis depend on the
attractiveness of urban destinations (based on their attributes), the
number and location of attractions and street network layout (spatial
input data).
Place Syntax Analysis (PSA)
Attraction Betweenness (AB)
It is a street network’s centrality measure;
It calculates how often a space unit (street segment) falls on the shortest
path between all pairs of spatial units in a system (the potential “through-
movement”). njk[i] is the subset of paths which
pass through i, with nodes j and k
falling within the network radius r
from the node I;
njk is the number of shortest paths
from j to k in graph G;
W[j] is the weight/attribute
characterizing the destination-node j

primary schools, secondary schools, high schools.
Schools are the “attraction points”
Schools have been weighed up taking into account the number of the
students.
Place Syntax Analysis (PSA)
To obtain a network graph
representation from the
segment lines, where every
street segment is a node and
every crossing point provides an
edge

47 schools with a total
number of students
equal to 13,232;
the highest number of
students in a school is
1,067 (an high school);
80% of schools have
less than 435
students;
about 4% of them
have more than 800
students;
Most of the schools
are located North-
West of the Historic
Centre (a) of Potenza
in "Poggio Tre Galli”

We set a threshold
radius of 1,500m as
"walking distance" to
perform an analysis of
the street network
compatible with
walking;
The spatial network
analysis shows the
most chosen paths in
dark blue and the least
chosen paths in white;
The thematic map
shows how most of the
schools are connected
by street segments
with a high AB value.

By increasing the
radius distance (from
1,500m to 3,000m), the
network analysis shows
the most convenient
routes for bicycles and
other small electric
vehicles;
Identification of a ring
characterized by the
street segments with
the highest AB values,
connecting most of the
schools in the urban
area of the city of
Potenza.

A hierarchy of
“walkable” and
”cyclable” centralities
emerges;
The streets with the
highest AB values are
located near a very
important railway
interchange between
the national (RFI) and
interregional (FAL)
railway lines.
