local services & local trade & tourismlocal services & local trade & tourism

families hope innovations but not changes (the change threatens their business)

families could block the projec, not companies

THE PEDESTRIAN CODE WOULD BE A CODE FOR FAMILIES NO FOR COMPANIES

local government in Buenos Aires has not legal power to invest in sidewalks –they are in charge of the private, only roadways are in charge of citycouncil

local government in Barcelona has not the power to modify public space without consent by citizen participation

Within both places –Buenos Aires Downtown and Barcelona suburban district, the families legitimate ‘what & where’

In a Barcelona suburban district the changes would be made without any way of discrimination

so, in the whole district In Buenos Aires the changes couldn't be large scale

onesit would be made with

public & private investments

now to

EVERYBODY!

about the concern of‘OUT OF OBSTACLES SPACE’ ‘READY TO BE IN MOVEMENT’

PUBLIC SPACE MAKE US ‘DISABLED’1º concept…‘Disabled’ =

‘countless limitations, that may occur everybody, at any time’

we need public space ready to use!

now, we have some new ideas & concepts

1º idea… lets think on…

‘ALL IS IN MOVEMENT SPACE’‘OUT OF OBSTACLES SPACE’

because

2º idea…lets think on…

regardless of the means of transport we use

(...shoes, bicycle, motorcycle, wheelchair, crutches, trains, ship, aircraft...)

‘the car is not the enemy’

3º idea... new public space benefit concept new european quality requirementhas evolved from first 1993 United Nations Uniform Rules...

based onthe number of demanded services

the users can’t access ‘out of obstacles’ to basic services, in other way

2º concept = OUT OF DIFFICULTIES PUBLIC SPACE =

‘is those that discharge basic functions,impossible to satisfy using other suitable way in the

neighbourhood, with limit in the district’

construct a worthy citizen behaviour city ACCIDENTALLY SUMMARY REDUCED TO EXCEPTIONAL EPISODES

‘free obstacles movements guaranteed’

more effective & efficient ‘requires public administration monitoring & reduce assistance to exceptional

episodes’

that makes a best valued city &A VALUED CITY IS AN USABILITY ONE

the goal is: to get an autonomous citizens city

KIT TOOL

THE PEDESTRIAN CODE

‘a whole connected city is a safe city of everyone’

In order to get a safe city for everybody - capable of integrating - low traffic accidentally- low urban criminality- high profitable for everybody

3º concept

THE PROTECTED ITINERARY-the ambit for applying the code-

Compatible Itineary Concept = out of obstacles itineraryfor pedestrians, bycicles, drivers, urban furniture, all whole organized

…the art of the ‘empty’ space …the art of the ‘a hard designed space you don’t notice…’

Plain and vertical connectionmake usability the city.

Everybody is disable in public space: shopping carts make us dissable, not only wheelchairs!

All the streets are not to be protected/compatible itinerary

It’s important to identify & select them in the districtand develop solutions to resold ‘usability problems’

(…) sections that joins points of interest / superhabit of uses sectionsinfrahabit of space sections / unique trafique conflicts sections

unique sections by its topography or geography

now…lets see it > YAYA KODU > the elements catalogueCustomized and repetitive solutions by neighbourhood, so it can construct the city image > city brand concept

from 1995, all public space projects in Barcelona must from 1995, all public space projects in Barcelona must create create

1 (one) protected itinerary within the ambit of every 1 (one) protected itinerary within the ambit of every draftdraft

from 2019, all Spanish cities should begin to create it , from 2019, all Spanish cities should begin to create it , progressively, in every existent public spacesprogressively, in every existent public spaces
