Rigenerazione e accessibilità in città di mare. Saline Joniche come caso studio

Urban regeneration policies are today also oriented towards environmental sustainability and energy consumption containment. Attention is today addressed to policies aimed at promoting active mobility, reducing polluting emissions, cost savings, improving the relations between people, social inclusion and accessibility, to the expansion of green spaces. The paper proposes a research approach in which two thematic areas are associated in an integrated way: the regeneration of land and the accessibility to the same land, topics that are relevant today and that are part of Goal 11 of the 2030 Agenda which aims to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. The approach is part of a more general framework of research focusing on "transport/land use" relationships, with its specific connotation based on quantitative indicators and measures. It is applied in particular to a port area affected close to large industrial settlement which has never come into operation and is characterised by evident damage. Measures aimed at the regeneration of the territory, the reorganisation of the facilities system, and the enhancement of the port infrastructure in an eco-sustainable perspective are outlined. The accessibility analyses underline in quantitative terms, through appropriate models, one of the key elements useful for measuring the impact of the seafront regeneration action.
