      abstract = {This book explores the topic of proximity and its  relations in the design of contemporary urban fabrics and  public spaces. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and  reflections on the future of cities have lately shed light  on the concept of proximity, which is intended as the  relationship between communities and urban functions and as  relations among people, built spaces, and open spaces. The  proximity is a historic and fertile field of interest for  American and Northern European urban studies; it is a  spatial and social program seemingly surpassed by the  styles and rhythms of contemporary city life, but today it  is back in vogue with different purposes. Meanwhile, the  action research developed by the Department of Architecture  and Urban Studies at the Politecnico di Milano for the  Municipality of Milan reached its conclusion (2018-2020).  The research work focused on contextualizing the new M4  Metro line stations under construction, and jointed  mobility flows and places, long-range networks and local  ones, boosting the idea of metro stations as regenerative  urban thresholds and urban platforms for enabling  environmental, sustainable settlement, and active mobility  systems. In other words, the action research for Milan  shows how to achieve the concept of proximity in the urban  design practice in a dense, stratified, and complex urban  context.},
