Resumen


Resumen

El Nuevo Urbanismo americano es un enfoque de planificación y desarrollo urbano en EEUU, basado en cómo se han construido ciudades y pueblos antes de la invención del automóvil. Calles peatonalizadas, viviendas y tiendas en las proximidades, parques y espacios públicos accesibles junto a oficinas, escuelas y edificios gubernamentales. Cada uno contribuyendo a la dinámica de un tejido urbano de alta calidad. Los 10 Principios del Nuevo Urbanismo son un conjunto de principios aplicables a cualquier proyecto urbano, de cualquier escala, desde un edificio hasta la escala metropolitana. A continuación, os expongo un sistema de puntuación que he creado para evaluar y clasificar en un ranking las sedes internacionales de las grandes empresas tecnológicas de Silicon Valley para comprobar si estas grandes empresas tecnológicas contribuyen al Nuevo Urbanismo de ciudades peatonalizadas y densas, o favorecen la dispersión suburbana, dependiente del uso del automóvil.

Abstract

New Urbanism is an American urban planning and development approach based on the principles of how urban areas used to be built before the invention of the automobile. Cities were built as dense urban environments with lots of life and vibrancy at street level with a mix of homes, shops and restaurants next to offices, schools and government buildings, surrounded by parks and public spaces, each one contributing to the dynamics of a high-quality urban fabric. The 10 Principles of New Urbanism are urban planning guidelines that can be applied to any project site of any size, from the small scale of a single building to the large metropolitan scale. I have created a point system to evaluate the international headquarters of Silicon Valley's Big Tech giants to see if these global tech companies are contributing to automobile-based suburban sprawl or to a pedestrian-friendly New Urbanist environment.
