The Cube City Nr 2 represents morphologically a radial or centric city or rather a reticulated with roads tracing that it drives to a central node where can present a square with important building of the city as a town hall, a cult place, another cultural building, a museum ora a theatre, we can say a centre from which roads tracing circulates in radial way.
The study is begun always from history and development in the centuries of this type of city in the urban planning.
The ideal city of Sforzinda hypothesized from Filarete represents one of the fortified radiocentric city most know, it is hypothesized in the stellar form and enclosed from city walls.
To be radiocentric couldn’t say there weren’t one or two main axis in the reticulated of the roads, or rather it’s enough common to have walls of fence on the external part to protect during war from raids of enemies.
Many of historical urban centers keep still the centric plant in some portion of them although the modern urban planning has distorted the urban tissue in the complex.
Cities instead that they have maintained intact almost entirely this type of reticulated are Palmanova with stellar plant, Grammichele with exagonal plant and Plaza del Ejecutivo in Mexico City with octagonal plant.
We have also some examples of cities more recent that they have a radiocentric plant: Rotonda in Florida and Al Falah Housing Project in the United Arab Emirates. In the centre these present parks.
Another interesting modern example is Brondby Haveby in Denmark: it is based on a plant with many radial urban blocks.
In this type of city is more evident as elsewhere that I define “structura” and “unicuum”. The radial structure (“structura”) incorporate a central point that it’s a “unicum”.
More than the urban planning I’m inspired also from information system. In information technology there is a parallelism with stellar net, the structure or the topology are alike a radial city.
