AB  - The idea of smart cities emphasises the deeper understanding of how urban
systems function in a sustainable way. The aim of this study was to investigate how
cities grow naturally according to its function. Is there any spatial pattern we
can recognise as a model for growing more sustainable cities? An axial model of
the city of Lisbon (Lisboa) was constructed according to Space Syntax theory and
methodology which is a way for researching cities as self-organising systems in
order to understand how social and economic processes shape space over time. It
was found that a specific pattern of street network emerges from the model using
different topological or syntactic measures, like integration and choice, which
evaluates the accessibility and potential movement of the street network. This
pattern called “deformed wheel” in Space Syntax literature is the one which
guarantee the better function of the city because it makes the most uniform and
economic distribution of the flows through the urban system. The
understanding of this pattern street network is crucial for the sustainability of the
urban planning and design of the city of Lisbon. Although the pattern of deformed
wheel is disrupted at certain points of the web, especially in the areas of recent
development, there exists the possibility to make the city growth smart if we
improve certain public spaces (hubs of the network) which reinforce mutually the
global and local accessibility in the city.
