In this selection of articles the past and current role of networks in urban planning is investigated.
A network in modern meaning is characterised by:
- topological criterion: direct connection between points with an ideal obiquity
- kinetic criterion: homogeneity of speed of flow
- Adaptive criterion: multiple choice of connection in time and space
Arturo Soria y Mata presented an interesting case with the Linear City project for Madrid.
Interesting was also the study by Wagner for Vienna's transport:
And Wright's project for Broadacre city where each citizen would have had an acre of land in a homogenous grid. This was meant to be democratic, utopian and taking advantage of existing technology such as the car.
Level Three operator: network / territory of the urban householdLevel two operator: production network, consumption network, domestic networkLevel one operator: road network, public transport network, communication networks
