Abstract

The paper describes research that addresses the issue of evacuation after a disaster event concerning the optimization of urban shape through the combination of simulations and safety-based urban design techniques. The methodology covers the following steps: the setting up of the knowledge system, the realization of software for the simulation of crowd behaviour, the choice of the case study, the application of software to the assessment of alternative safety-based scenarios. The main results demonstrate the great utility of software simulation tools combined with the application of urban design techniques, aimed at improving urban contexts and their structural resilience.
