Abstract :
[en] Walking has recently attracted increasing scientific interest within different disciplines, namely, in sociological studies, urban literature, cultural and anthropological research, as well as in health and well-being fields: from walk as an essential part of the urban way of life and as a significant social activity (Joseph, 1998), as experience of the world, its techniques and rhythms (Ingold and Vergunst 2008), to assessment of the “environmental determinants of walking” (Ewing and Cervero 2010) and moment of bodily exercise and opportunity to tackle inactivity in urban lifestyles. Such an increase in scientific interest has coincided and interplayed with the emergence - in cities - of practices and trends as the rise in walking and the decline in car-use. While these trends have been observed - even if with considerable differences - both in compact and diffuse urban conditions, until today walkability as a project has been largly overlooked in the frame of diffuse cities. This paper, drawing from the awareness that the form of the contemporary city has radically changed, tackles the role and challenges of walking in what has been recently named: “Horizontal Metropolis” (Viganò, 2013). In such unprecedented “urbanized landscapes” (Secchi, 2011), characterized by a completely new ratio between built and open space, new systems of spaces are made available for a radical rethinking of urban life.
