Summary

Urban ecological properties are determined, in the maximum degree, from the land uses that areallocated and functionally activated in the urban tissue. The intensity of Land Uses activation in city’stotal is realised and evented via circulatory flows that activate and are activated from thesimultaneous daily coordinated co-function of all land uses. The co-ordination and co-activation of allactivities influence the intensity of circulatory flows that then shape the city’s ecological status.Each Urban system shapes its ecological status with attributes that are characterized by its ability tominimise energy’s consumption and pollutants emission.This is achieved by configurating Urban forms that:A. achieve high degree’s accessibility without the corresponding mobility increase,B. cover the ground insufficiency for city’s needs in its centresC. continuously recompose land uses for the achievement of local and central servicesaiming to city’s journeys minimisation.The investigation of this aspect of Ecological Urban Planning theory, will result from the correlationand the creation of circulatory flows concerning land uses that cause them. We will investigate ascase study, Attica’s basin that assembles the functions majority in Greece.The next step includes the investigation of the way these circulatory flows affect the urban climatechange, and consequently the health of cities residents. By the study of the quality and quantity ofpollutants emissions we aim to propose solutions for their minimization, in order to achieve “moresustainable cities”.
