City Form, Mobility and University Students in Post Pandemic Era.

The relationships between the shape of the city, proximity and mobility have always been the subject of study for urban planning and urban geography, however more oriented towards finding treatments than causes to be solved. What role does centrality and urban attractiveness determine in consideration of daily actions and therefore of access to the main services? The urban mobility of university students is the focus of this paper while the aim is to develop a methodological proposal to build an index of centrality (Uni_City Index) of the Italian Universities as a function of a set of open data indicators of innovation, socio-economic, mobility and land use to support city-university integrated policy actions in the context of post-pandemic recovery and the recent energy crisis.
