La progressiva crescita delle città pone inevitabilmente problemi di eco-compatibilità: in una prospettiva di sviluppo urbano sostenibile, un ritorno alla città compatta sembra essere l’univa via perseguibile, per diverse ragioni. Una prospettiva di ricompattamento urbano richiede di focalizzare l’attenzione sui quartieri: ricorrendo ad alcuni concetti degli studi di Sampson, si evidenzia come le Transition Towns possano essere lette in una prospettiva di Neighbourhood e come la letteratura sulla resilienza di comunità presenti elementi di sostanziale continuità con il neighbourhood approach.
