“…The first step was the analysis of the UDS developed in the studied set of green cities. The survey was conducted on European urban sustainability experiences that took place over the past two decades [6], [8], [9]. Particularly fifteen green cities characterized by different types of development (urban regeneration, retrofitting, new development), size of the development area, and number of inhabitants were analyzed (Table 1).…”

During the last decades new developments, retrofitting and urban regeneration projects in most of European green cities have been designed according to high level of Urban Design Solutions (UDS) such as green spaces networks, low-carbon mobility systems, mixed land uses, public facilities/services and new jobs. Integration of these UDS to water/waste and renewable energy management systems has shown an effective contribution to urban and environmental quality and sustainability. Even though these successfully experiences provided a considerable amount of valuable UDS, their suitability to be transferred in urban contexts characterized by different environmental, morphological, socio-economic and cultural conditions has not been systematically investigated. This paper proposes a method for evaluating the transferability of several UDS that have been applied in a set of fifteen European green cities to urban contexts of Southern Italy, where socio-economic, environmental, geographical, and cultural conditions are different. The method is based on three different steps. First, UDS are identified and grouped within a matrix in three strategic categories (procedures and economic aspects, urban quality, energy and environment). The second step checks the suitability of these different UDS to be transferred according to six different criteria: climate and geography, mobility/green/facilities equipment, water/waste/energy grids equipment, norms and regulations, urban management policies, social and cultural aspects. The third step is the evaluation of the transferability of UDS based on a survey conducted through web-interviews to Italian national experts in the field of urban planning. Contrary to the expectations, results show that a very high percentage of UDS could be transferred to the southern Italy contexts and that the transferability is more influenced by lack of urban management policies than climatic or geographical features.

RESUMENCon el objetivo de combatir los efectos negativos causados por los desarrollos urbanos dispersos o en baja densidad, así como los derivados de la excesiva utilización del vehículo privado para los desplazamientos diarios en la ciudad de Alicante, en el presente artículo se describe un ejemplo de aplicación práctica de implantación del modelo Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) desde una perspectiva integral. Para ello, se considera la fusión de diversos aspectos metodológicos, que resultan complementarios durante la elaboración del estudio y se exponen brevemente en las siguientes líneas.En primer lugar, mediante el análisis de resultados del estudio de movilidad, efectuado previamente, a propósito de este estudio, es posible averiguar el área de influencia de las paradas de la línea 2 del TRAM (sistema de tranvitrén existente en Alicante) comprendidas en el municipio de Alicante, ámbito al cual se ciñe este proceso de implementación de TOD. En segundo lugar, la recopilación de diferentes variables de bases de datos específicas permite plasmar matemática y gráficamente el modelo Node-Place, mediante el cual es posible caracterizar el entorno de las citadas paradas de TRAM, así como clasificarlas atendiendo al cálculo de dos tipos de indicadores: de nodo, relativos a accesibilidad y a los medios de transporte presentes en el área de influencia, y de lugar, relativos a la diversidad e intensidad de los usos del suelo cercanos a cada estación.Por último, se presentan las propuestas de actuación que servirían para materializar el modelo TOD en la ciudad en una estación en concreto: aquella que demuestra tener más potencialidad para ello tras analizar el modelo Node-Place. Las medidas de desarrollo urbanístico que promueve el modelo TOD se focalizan en: potenciar el uso del transporte público, densidades de viviendas medias y altas, mezcla de usos urbanos y calles paseables.
