The Importance of Neighbourhood for Urban Resilience Authored by Chiara Ortolani Encouraging the active mobility and implementing the urban resilience are two issues closely linked each to other but, at the same time, it is hard to get them together, conceivably because we are trying to find the answers by using unsuitable or inadequate scales. Several urban studies took in consideration the neighbourhood dimension as a basic unit. At this scale it is possible to increase the relationship between people and the territory by increasing the pedestrian and cycling accessibility of urban space also. Connectivity is an important feature that our cities are losing with a negative impact on their resilience. The main aim of this work is to highlight the role of the neighbourhood scale in order to encourage an active mobility and to implement a real transition towards a resilient city.

The Effect of Nail Inclination Angle on Improving the Performance of Nailing System in Vertical Excavation Authored by Mohsen Farzi Nailing is one a soil stabilization system that has prevailed recently. This article investigates the effect of nailing angle on stability of a cut in each stage of excavation. The results are based on the analysis of a vertical cut 8m in depth in which8 nails are successively driven at a vertical distance of 1m during excavation. 6 meter nails are used at inclination angles of 0, 5, 8 and 10, as well as a state in which different angles are applied assuming that the nail is perpendicular to the critical soil wedge. It is concluded that performance of the nail is the most unfavorable at an angle of zero while the best performance is realized at different angles.
