Giuliano Pairone Candidate: Daniele Iunti Academical year: 2020-2021 JULY 2021 The present research is the result of a multidisciplinary study that brings together the skills derived from the civil engineering and automotive engineering courses of study. Within this specific thesis paper analyses, reasoning, and results are presented, mainly in the civil engineering field of investigation, with specific insights into the automotive sector. Despite the multifaceted nature of the research, the result the team achieved after one year of intense study is unique and derives from the collaboration and integration of competences from the abovementioned different backgrounds. This aspect represented the most challenging part of the study but at the same time the most enriching one, making it really interesting. As far as automotive engineering parts, engineer students in charge of these aspects are Ma Fanshu and Zhang Zheyuan. A special thank is a must because of their limitless availability and skills, methodological rigour and passion for the work done. “There is no logic that can be superimposed on the city; people make it, and it is to them, not buildings, that we must fit our plans.” ― Jane Jacobs (1958) Downtown is for people ABSTRACT La popolazione umana ha impiegato 200.000 anni per raggiungere 1 miliardo e solo 200 anni per raggiungere i 7 miliardi.
