- Henri Lefebvre, The Right to the City โ In brief, the right to the city is the right to the production of a city. The labor of a worker is the source of most of the value of a commodity that is expropriated by the owner. The worker, therefore, has a right to benefit from that value denied to them. In the same way, the urban citizen produces and reproduces the city through their own daily actions. However, the the city is expropriated from the urbanite by the rich and the state. The right to the city is therefore the right to appropriate the city by and for those who make and remake it.

It is called density. Bologna is five km wide and something like 13km long, although there is a motorway running along a site of the city. So you can be in any part of the city within less then half an hour by car. Bologna has a huge old town, which is not designed for cars at all and you are probably faster with a scooter.
Welcome to decent city planning.
