Brief

I am an urban planning researcher with a focus on chrono-urbanism and proximity-based urbanism, including emerging frameworks such as the X-minute city. My research explores the temporal dimensions of urban life and how time shapes patterns of mobility, accessibility, and spatial organization within cities. I am particularly interested in the influence of urban morphology on temporal accessibility. By integrating time as a core parameter in urban analysis, my work aims to contribute to more livable, efficient, and people-centered urban environments.
