Compact City – Sprawl City: two interacting urban formsJ. Frediani, N. Giacobbe, O. Ravella, J. Pistola
Hypotheses
• Sustainability/unsustainability does not depend exclusively on urban compact/sprawl condition.
• Sustainability/unsustainability of both compact and sprawl zones depend on urban socioeconomic, spatial and modal mobility features.

Objectives
General:• Define levels of urban sustainability/unsustainability
resulting from the interaction among Land Use, Mobility and Transport/Energy consumption patterns.
Particular:• Establish degrees of sustainability/unsustainability in
sprawl areas.• Establish sustainability factors in compact areas

Approach
Compact City – Sprawl City: two interacting urban formsJ. Frediani, N. Giacobbe, O. Ravella, J. Pistola
‘Compact’ and ‘Sprawl’ concepts are not applicable to any city sizes. Unplanned sprawl at great metropolises and mid-sized cities represents a real urban unsustainability problem.
A city’s positioning on the compact/sprawl continuum depends on several factors: spatial morphology, degree of consolidation and mobility system.
Considering the ‘mobility / city model’ relationship, the automobile can be seen at the core of the compact/sprawl city issue. Automobiles are a universally desired object:
they are a means of:• work, • social and family life planning,• social identification.
Its use is promoted by both automotive industry and financial groups – through ease of credit access. These two key actors should be considered when attempting to reduce its incidence.

Methodology
5 delimited areas – 2 central and 3 peripheral ones – were selected as “transportation areas”.
All include social interest’s housesInformation:
origin/destination trip’s surveyHouse energy audit
Connectivity: Zone 1: railroad, automobileZones 2 and 3: automobile

The study reveals that:• The mobility-related energy consumption of a
consolidated, low-density, train-served settlement, 20 km distant from CBD, is higher than those registered at cases 2 and 3 (peripheral areas).
• Higher residential energy consumption per inhabitant is related to income levels and to the lack of energy-saving policies in building systems

Modal distribution of mobility
• All peripheral areas register higher energy consumption per inhabitant.
• Energy consumption at area 1 is 26.3% higher than area 3 (the lowest one): longer distance and higher income levels of population.
• Two peripheral areas register highest mobility-related energy consumption: 0.16 and 0.12 TEP/inhabitant/year

Total Energy ConsumptionCase 1: 18% lower than compact zones.
Cases 2 and 3: relative energy consumption is 30-35% lower than compact zones although two cases present
larger families.
Highest and lowest energy consumption study cases showup to a 54% difference.
Based on the analysis of Land Use /Transportation / Energyconsumption, the Compact / Sprawl dichotomy is notVerified: both “models” show similar consumption patterns

Considerations1. A sprawl city is not unsustainable, provided that
it is structured as a linear type-city and it’s crossed by a railroad network
2. Compactness must be accompanied by sustainable housing standards
3. Therefore, cities should not be considered as a complex system in which `compactness´and `sprawl´ are part of interacting heterogeneities rather than a polarized dichotomy.

Residential consumption / Income relationship shows that: energy saving implies lesser comfort
Mobility / Income relationship: less than two trips per person per day implies immobility and turns social
integration impossible
AN INTEGRAL APPROACH IS KEY IN ORDER TO DEFINE SUSTAINABILITY LEVEL AT THE
COMPACT - SPRAWL CITY MODELS
