space-time variable interpretation of urban complexity

If we try to analyze characters of the contemporary city can find a contradiction between its tendency to dissolve, and the predominance of a technological development that undermines the more established models of spatial organization. It is in these moments, the city tends to forcefully reassert itself: constantly changing, the city still offers a privileged place for the government of the resources available for the physical and symbolic representation of institutions and power centers, training and cultural growth of the population, for the provision of services connected to it, and then maintaining that privileged role for the economic and social relations, the city tends to innovate not only morphologically, but the complexity of its functions and space.
Increasingly there is a need to search for that deeper sense of the postmodern city, whose investigation has, however, led to the flourishing of new neologisms: Technopolis, Cosmopolis, Megalopolis, just to mention some of the latest definitions. The victims feel
by many authors of the inability to understand and represent the new urban reality, except through metaphors or terminology inventions in hindsight does nothing but underline the difficulty in analyzing explanatory urban development is increasingly complex and contradictory.
one hand, the city still in its past, the other projecting into the future: a duality that seems to play an increasingly significant in the interpretation of a rapidly changing metropolis.
In this scenario, changing the city tends to have cultural connotations, social, spatial and temporal mobility increasingly dynamic and volatile, less and less linked to patterns of coexistence or final settlements, sensing a need for identity and sense of belonging that still characterizes the 'human being.
The development of public policies at the urban level, seems to tend to take the lead in time, both in terms of individual or family-level management of the resource time both in terms of collective organization in key schedules. Time and its method of use are, in fact, fundamental dimensions to redefine a more functional distribution activities in the territory but also in changing the way of autonomy and participation that characterize the social and cultural development of an entire community. Today
progresses more and more desire to seek, in the direction toward which the sociological analysis using a combination of time and space relative to the morphological and functional characteristics of the territory.
Several previous research and ongoing in our country have been pre-design time policies developed in the framework of the preparation of so-called PRO (zoning schedules). The starting point is the spatial and temporal characterization of the individual, as crucial in determining its style and its quality of life, as well as the size and shape of the links between mobility in the area, the use of time, the level of socialization with new technologies.
From the segmentation of the territory according to the dynamics of socio-residential adjustment that followed the invasion-succession model of segregation-rationalist, there seems to be geared towards the materialisation of an interpretative approach that makes the complexity of practices and opportunities travel daily on the territory a crucial analytical dimension to study the city.
Another interpretive approach that of urban sociology has always dealt with the assets of the morphology of cities and districts based on the characteristics of residents, even today the city is constantly changing depending on the flows and cycles of time that they see from time to time people External merge for different reasons in the heart of metropolitan areas by altering its internal equilibrium: the city is no longer segmenting and stratifying on the basis of membership more or less meaningful and rooted within certain sub-areas spatially demarcated and defined, but starting with those offering different ways of using land, in order to redefine a new functional where the concept of identification must be changed to usability.
by analyzing the mobility behavior of individuals is primarily about trying to understand the multiplicity of roles, processes and relationships between roles and processes of the same territory, temporal strategies that people today tend to put in place in line with needs and emerging lifestyles.
infrastructure, modernization and accessibility of services, common use of technology, are essential elements in the development of urban policies that favor increasing the temporal aspect the functional organization and promoting the city in spatial terms.
In recent years our country has witnessed a growth of the economic, political and administrative authority of the city and now seems to emerge with clarity the need to synchronize the actions of local government activities of the single urban units with those of a supra. Whether it is a metropolitan area, a metropolitan region, a district network with various levels of hierarchy, its management can not, however, regardless of the character recognition space-time, the quantity and quality of services in general by 'interpretation of the complexity of reports.
The city as a variety of places: with respect to it is that individuals are confronted in the process of building its own identity. To belong to, or unrelated to a city also means recognizing the sites, hang out, give it meaning, store. The space, in both physical and symbolic form, is the keystone of our daily lives, is testimony to the events that mark the experience of the individual and the community; refers, finally, to specific structures and functions of socio-economic and political which correspond definite forms of consensus or conflict.
The sense of belonging to places is the result of interactive processes that, over time established between the urban environment and people, between urban artifacts and those who receive them. It is not derived solely from the reports that emanate from a particular physical form, but also by alterations of these same relationships in the context of space-temporale.L 'analysis of the practices of conciliation and open conflict over taxes globalizing cultures, but of which there is widespread consciousness, is becoming more important in the contemporary urban reality. The space and time, as they tend to take shape as a result of changes in progress, often become very rare resources. We can not help but consider space and time, two key variables in an attempt to understand and interpret the complexity to define urban governance policies to re-establish the roles of territorial identity.
