Content SummaryResearches that are taking place show that the daily journeys in the urban tissue constitute the main cause of energy consumption and consequent atmospheric pollution creation. Every effort for this phenomenon’s confrontation tries to intervene correctively, discouraging the use of private vehicles and encouraging the use of mass transport means, without however the required results. The present research tries to investigate the best positions and the relations of urban functions, so that the daily urban journeys are minimized and simultaneously the residents needs, are satisfied. Categorizing the economic activities of an area based on the access frequency, but also their groupments in the urban area, the research tries to formulate the urban functions best positions. These positions accessed by mass transport and constant orbit means will ensure the less and smaller possible urban journeys. This way Urban Planning tries to solve the problem of urban journeys creation, predefine, up to a point, the posts of departure and destination but also to formulate the ways of urban movements, in order to achieve the best sustainable development of urban tissue. Thus the search of B.U.S.1 consists in the ensurement during Urban Planning of urban elements groups and their areal forms that will lead to the configuration of an Urban structure which will result the minimal possible energy consumption with the simultaneous minimization of pollutants emissions via the optimization of daily function. These two goals will be achieved if the Urban tissue shaped by the allocated land uses can ensure the optimal planning for private cars, mass transport means and pedestrians use. This will be achieved when the form of Urban tissue’s structure incorporates evidently the local and supralocal movement in daily journeys.en
