Tiburtino: An Urban Medley, Neighborhood Analysis
This Neighbourhood Analysis booklet contains a variety of material pertaining to Tiburtino in the form of land use maps, street section drawings, building elevation drawings, statistical data, citizen interviews, and citizen map drawings known as Lynch maps. The hope is that this material will further the public’s understanding of the neighborhood while also guiding us in determining and implementing our future Design and Policy intervention within the neighborhood. Tiburtino is located approximately 5 kilometers outside of Rome’s Historic Center and is near the Tiburtina Train Station, one of Rome’s main transportation hubs. The name Tiburtino refers to the Istituto Case Popolari (Public Housing Institute, ICP) public housing complex located within our focus area. The neighborhood is interesting in that it contains a vast amount of diversity, both physical and social. Different building typologies along with different demographic groups occupy this dense neighborhood. This causes each block within the neighborhood to have its own distinct character and makes the neighborhood an excellent venue for urban analysis.
