A new concept of town should be conceived on<br />
the basis of a model linking the development of<br />
the town to the enhancement of its surrounding<br />
landscape value, both by valorising the existing<br />
vegetation and by paying more attention to the<br />
exploitation of the environmental resources.<br />
The urban sustainability is based on the ability<br />
to regenerate non-regenerating natural<br />
resources (air and water), to limit the intensive<br />
exploitation of land, and to ensure<br />
theenvironmental compatibility of infrastructures<br />
and mobility.<br />
The boundary – a privileged area in terms of<br />
landscape – should result from the intersection<br />
of different interventions, not always related to<br />
the building activity (i.e. roads, squares, parks,<br />
etc.), and the rural organisation of the territory.<br />
Hence, these areas may be designed as a<br />
whole with the “central” ones, avoiding the<br />
current distinction between the centre and the<br />
outer city. The borders of the town will also<br />
become qualitatively significant.<br />
Extending the concept of multicentricity from the<br />
borders to the centre, it is possible to establish<br />
the total territorial surface of the town as well as<br />
its shape, defined by a network of roads,<br />
squares and blocks. This system is very simple<br />
and allows to create - even in different steps -<br />
districts and parts of the town, which are at the<br />
same time different and similar because of the<br />
same scheme.<br />
The new structure proposed for Sukari, with its<br />
multifunctional network of town-districts,<br />
integrates the centre and the outer city instead<br />
of privileging one over the other.<br />
The services should be organised according to<br />
the three territorial levels that compose and<br />
identify the town: blocks (about 3-5,000<br />
inhabitants), districts (about 15,000 inhabitants),<br />
and urban areas (about 45,000 inhabitants).<br />
From a functional point of view, any activity<br />
aimed at meeting a common social need has<br />
been considered as a service.<br />
The types of services identified are the<br />
following: education, health and social care,<br />
culture and entertainment, trade, green<br />
recreation spaces, sport, religion, safety,<br />
transport, waste collection, local administration.<br />
Each identified territorial level should be<br />
assigned specific service structures,<br />
proportional<br />
to the number of users. For example, in the field<br />
of education, the block should be assigned an<br />
early childhood centre and a nursery school,<br />
while the district and the urban area should be<br />
assigned a primary and secondary school and a<br />
high school, respectively.<br />
This system should be extended to all the<br />
services, in order to ensure each part of the<br />
town a different accessibility level: on foot<br />
(blocks), by bike or the public transport system<br />
(district) and by private vehicles (urban areas).<br />
The general urban quality of the town of Sukari<br />
as well as the scope of each residential and<br />
productive intervention should be identified by<br />
the services network, on the basis of a<br />
progressive development of the settlement that<br />
should be completed within approximately 20-<br />
30 years.
