NEW PATHS FOR MANAGING UNCERTAINTYTERRITORIO E PRODUZIONEINDEXDECEMBER 201930 │ Conferencehttp://lwc.unibs.it/homeFrom 12 to 13 September 2019 was held in Brescia (Italy) the XXIV International Conference “Living and Walking in Cities” (LWC). This year the event was called “Pedestrians, Urban Spaces and  Health”. The Conference “tradition-ally looks at different themes concerning the quality of life in urban areas” and represents an excellent meeting in which “discuss problems that affect the safety of pedestrians in the city, especially of children and persons with reduced mobility”. The Dist Department – jointly to LINKS Foundation – has presented a paper that summarise our research started with the ASITA Conference (2018). Starting from the avalability of “open data” we decided to follows the three class of macro indices proposed by ITDP: “feasibility, safety and confort/pleasure”. Starting from this assumption, we built a matrix of indices assign-ing to them a weighted, normalized to 100, value. To consider in a correct way the specifity of places we have thought to developed two scale of analysis: the former, a neighborhood investigation (“San Salvario” district) and, the latter, aimed at to the whole city (Turin).For the neighborhood level, the background base map used is the Municipal Technical Map (CTC) of the City of Turin (nominal scale: 1: 1000), a very de-tailed database in which the information are displayed in a very detailed mode (Figure 3).IMPROVING THE WALKABILITY  FOR NEXT-GENERATION  CITIES AND TERRITORIESThrough the reuse of available data and raster analysesFigure 1.

Both a proprietary software (ESRI ArcGis) and an open source one (QGIS) were used, especially tools on raster analysis (cost raster/local cost, cost distance, kernel density estimation). Despite a fine avalability of data some layers were missing (i.e. “pedestrian crossings”) and other have been published in an “encryped way” (i.e. pedestrian injuries and safety matter in general). To integrate the database we proceded autonomously building - as far as possible - the missing data sets letting out the unachievable information (i.e. the cross side, the street lighting level, and so on, Figure 1).The research, rather than obtaining final and unequivocal results, has high-lighted a series of problems, from the construction of indices to their normal-ized weight, up to the availability of information. Sometimes we have followed the OpenStreetMap project and, maybe, this could be a valid data provider as long as people feed the missing information or update the existing ones. For example, using an Overpass Turbo query to display the “[landuse=brownfield in the Turin area get no results (Figure 2).This means that no data is avalaible even if a variety of industrial buildings have been abandoned or old buildings have been demolished and cleared. This  information coud be useful non only for the planners and practitioners but also for the urban policies and the citizens.antonio.cittadino@unito.it, enrico.eynard@linksfoundation.com, francesco.fiermonte@polito.it, gabriele.garnero@unito.it, paola.guerreschi@unito.it, luigi.lariccia@polito.it, giulia.melis@linksfoundation.com, franco.vico@formerfaculty.polito.itFigure 3.
