ABSTRACT
This study aims to define a methodology for the planning of a network of urban connections inside the “oblique city” particularly in reference to urban historical centers characterized by steep differences in height. The methodology proposed refers to the individuation of a network of urban paths for soft mobility starting from specific “urban poles” (open places, squares, monuments, etc.). The network itself can be an attractive element for improving a sustainable way to visit the city. The city of Benevento, in the south of Italy, represents a meaningful case for testing the methodology proposed. The project proposes the definition of a network for soft mobility that, on one side, is aimed at increasing accessibility to the historical center, and on the other side, considers the possibility of interconnecting Benevento to other historic centers nearby (Pietralcina and Foglianise) that serve as additional poles in the network.
