EMC2

The project tackles key structural difficulties for 15mC transition in suburbs by proposing a new urban model satisfying basic morphological and functional requirements. The Evolutive Meshed Compact City (emc2) model foresees selective densification along existing main roads and prioritization of pedestrian usage to transform them into interconnected, vibrant and service-rich high-streets, connected to wider mobility options. The project will specify the emc2 model, assess its potential in suburban areas of six European cities through multi-scale geospatial modelling and morphogenetic analysis, address the contribution of ecological and transportation networks, and analyse small test-areas with high emc2 potential to produce transferable models and guidelines.
