Research project

The Physics of the City. Complexity in Urban Mobility Networks from Venezia to Marseille.

Project summary

What would I like to do, to study, to research during my permanence at Iméra Institute?  Essentially the Physics of the City, the main idea being to research the complexity degree in the mobility phenomena, assumed as an expression of the social composition and dynamics, which are in Marseille rich of variability and intertwined of differences. A part of this project would be performed working with an artist, Mariateresa Sartori, in view of building up a common frame with a visual and multimedia communication system on the Marseille complex mobility networks. Finally I would like to collect all the experiences, the theoretical assumptions and results, not only mathematical but also philosophical and methodological, often implicit, that from ten years are produced in the Physics of the City Laboratory context, i.e. may be to write a book on this subject. Or, at least, to prepare the materials for a book with the same title of this project.

Projet mené en partenariat avec Mariateresa SARTORI, artiste en résidence à l’Iméra (2011-2012).

Appels à candidature

Les résidences de recherche que propose l’Iméra, Institut d’études avancées (IEA) d’Aix Marseille Université, s’adressent aux chercheurs confirmés – académiques, scientifiques et/ou artistes. Ces résidences de recherche sont distribuées sur quatre programmes (« Arts & sciences : savoirs indisciplinés », « Explorations interdisciplinaires », « Méditerranée » et « Utopies nécessaires »).
