- Summary/Abstract:The unconditional and undifferentiated adaptation of Romanian cities to the functional and spatial requirements of a growing automobility lead to the conversion of the majority of public spaces into a road framework for traffic and parking, drained of their communitarian substance and landscape attributes. The (re)allocation and the (re)design of urban space as well as the regulations for their use, for the travels they contain, was often done in a discriminatory manner, resulting in deterioration of the functional and environmental quality of the pedestrians’ infrastructure and of the accessibility for people with reduced mobility - topics of current concern within the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans, strategic planning studies recommended by the European Commission. The pedestrian oriented reshape of urban zones relies on a contextualized planning of an appropriate balance between the two main vocations of the public realm: a. infrastructure for travels and b. places with social and aesthetical substance that (should) provide a safe and healthy environment for urban living. Starting from this prerequisite, the paper deals with two categories of inter-related themes, in an urban planning perspective: 1. sets of measures to encourage and boost safe and comfortable walking, on different tiers - road network (hierarchy, classification, connectivity, configuration), morphology of urban space (sharing of land resources, configuration-design), use of urban space (traffic corridors, priorities, speed); 2. criteria and models of (re)organization of public spaces with priority to pedestrians: pedestrian areas or shared-space schemes. The study outlines a theoretical framework for a spatial planning and design, integrated to a related (re)shape of mobility, more attentive to pedestrians’ needs, with a main focus on travel safety concerns. The paper partially presents results of the author’s research undertaken within the project SAFENET - Research on estimation and enhancement of intrinsic safety performances for urban traffic networks, PN-II-PT-PCC A-2011-3.2-1439 conducted through the “Partnership in priority areas” program - PNII, PCCA Tip 2, implemented with the support of ANCSI CNDI – UEFISCDI, between 2012-2016.

- Summary/Abstract:Bucharest, as the majority of big cities, but more than many of them, bears the negative consequences of a very high motorization rate and of an irrepressible traffic, generated on and by its territory of influence. The city’s polarizing force express itself through commuting pendulum flows from and towards its periurban settlements, who are spatially and functionally related to it. In a major share, the commuting trips are made by cars that enter, travel and park within Bucharest, widening the negative impacts of its internal traffic and fleet of cars. The best solution to mitigate traffic congestions, reduce pollution, enhance road safety, release and rehabilitate public space is to provide an efficient regional transportation system at the scale of the quotidian mobility territory (working catchment area delimitating the functional urban area) and the implementation of a coherent mobility policy through consensual packages of measures. This type of complex and expensive transportation supply can be achievable only at a long term horizon, whilst solutions adequate to the current context must be implemented as soon as possible. The paper addresses the solution of organizing "intermodal gates” for the city, as effective equipements for modal report, providing good conditions for fast, convenient and comfortable transfer from car to public transportation, in particular to the subway. Priority locations for such intermodal hubs are those at the entries within Bucharest of A1, A2, A3 motorways, from which large motorized flows are discharging on the internal road framework of the city, already overcharged. The majority of those flows is of commuting trips, which have high potential for modal report towards public, collective transportation. The "Intermodal Gates" are a transfer hubs system with high potential for leading, within Bucharest city, to the mitigation of the traffic originating from its territory of influence. For this “carrot” potential to be efficiently harnessed, “stick” measures also must be taken to limit, condition and make expensive the access and parking in the city, mainly in its center. The work is based on the author’s research undertaken within the project SAFENET - Research on estimation and enhancement of intrinsic safety performances for urban traffic networks, PN-II-PT-PCC A-2011-3.2-1439 conducted through the “Partnership in priority areas” program - PNII, PCCA Tip 2, conducted between 2012-2016 with the support of ANCSI CNDI – UEFISCDI, and addresses proposals of the author during the preparation of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan for Bucharest-Ilfov region, 2014-2015.
