Milan Unlocked
We are excited to share that Diego Deponte, Senior Partner and Director at Systematica, contributed to Milano Unlocked (Authors: Chiara Quinzii, Diego Terna, Editor: Milano Urban Center), a book exploring the ongoing changes in cities through ten interviews with local and international experts, including Carlos Moreno, Momoyo Kaijima, Manfredi Catella, and Pierfrancesco Maran: https://issuu.com/letteraventidue/docs/912_issuu
This publication sparks reflection on the evolving use of public spaces, offering insights into how these spaces can drive urban reinvention. It highlights how the pandemic has reshaped cities, transforming behaviors and creating new forms of engagement. Public space has become a critical resource for urban transformation, evolving from a symbol of crisis to a space for solutions.
The interview with Diego offers valuable insights into the pivotal role of research in reshaping urban mobility. Through its research foundation, Transform Transport, Systematica combines 35 years of expertise with innovative methodologies like urban informatics and big data analytics to tackle contemporary transport challenges
Key Themes Explored:
- Transversal Innovation: Beyond technology, Systematica’s integrated approach connects mobility systems planning with urban development, fostering cities that are more resilient, sustainable, and responsive.
- Milan as a Global Laboratory: Milan, with its urban complexity and accessible data resources, serves as an ideal testing ground for advanced solutions—from polycentric mobility systems to dynamic public space management.
- Public Space as a Focal Point: Studies on sidewalks and initiatives like “Piazze Aperte” demonstrate how the proper redistribution of urban space can enhance active mobility and collective well-being.
– Pandemic-Driven Transformations: The COVID-19 crisis accelerated trends such as remote work, altering mobility demands, and unveiling new opportunities to redesign cities that are more accessible and inclusive. Systematica exemplifies how data, research, and design can transform urban paradigms, placing people and public spaces at the core of strategies for the future.
- A Sustainable Tomorrow: From innovative settlement models to Mobility as a Service (MaaS) ecosystems, the path to responsible mobility starts with holistic planning.
