I want to conclude l<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g my <strong>analysis</strong> to the concept of susta<strong>in</strong>ability of<br />

a city. In ancient times, susta<strong>in</strong>ability was strictly correlated at the way<br />

the city <strong>and</strong> the build<strong>in</strong>gs were built. Giv<strong>in</strong>g particular attention to the<br />

location of the city, orientation of axes <strong>and</strong> build<strong>in</strong>gs tak<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to account<br />

solar cycles, dom<strong>in</strong>ant w<strong>in</strong>ds <strong>and</strong> resources availability.<br />

So <strong>in</strong> plann<strong>in</strong>g modernity we have to be aware that probably previous<br />

deep <strong>analysis</strong> were made <strong>and</strong> just one s<strong>in</strong>gle build<strong>in</strong>g or a new street<br />

open<strong>in</strong>g can aect drastically the distribution of <strong>in</strong>tegration, choices <strong>and</strong><br />

connectivity of the network.<br />
