The Design for a Welcoming City: Urban Space and Visitor Flow

This chapter explores the new ways of living and moving through and across urban spaces, inside an information and technology society. It introduces a design perspective, presenting a real case history: the new Visitor Space in Milan, crafted thanks to a scientific agreement between the Politecnico di Milano and the Chamber of Commerce of Milano, Monza Brianza and Lodi. It is an accurate design project to welcome people in an environment where private and public dimensions, as well as analog and digital components, come together creating a multisensory experience, favoring different ways to perceive and live a city.
