“…Future research on the informal district of BaSECo will be focused on the verification on-site of the findings obtained from the configuration analysis. This step will be relevant to develop a more appropriate and specific methods to integrate new knowledge by using ad hoc techniques [100][101][102] based on the formal representation of the urban environment through ontologies [67,103] and the "smart" use of big data [104,105].…”

This paper explores the link between the current vision of the “smart city” and the notion of urban autopoiesis understood as self-organized/managed urban systems. It seeks to highlight how the use of GIS analysis, applied to the study of informal settlements, can provide useful information to understand the smart city paradigm. The paper argues the key idea that a smart city should not be seen only as a high-tech urban environment because the transition to smartness will need major changes in its inner structure. Using a combination of quantitative and qualitative GIS analysis methods, this study examines the case of the BaSECo Compound, one of the densest informal settlements in Metro Manila (Philippines), with the aim of both generating a comprehensive morphological analysis of this dynamic urban area as well as contributing to the configurational theory of the smart city. The results suggest that the analysis of autopoietic urban systems could expand our understanding of how the structure of the city could evolve to accommodate the needs of its citizens and creating more resilient and inclusive communities.

In the collective imagination there are masterminds speculating on real estate and so defining the “price of the buildings” in a sort of transposition in reality of Hands over the city plot. Although it is not the case, the distribution of prices in the contemporary city is a big deal for policy-makers and urban planners as well. Especially in metropolitan areas, where polarization of services is needed, the high complexity of urban scenarios makes the prediction of price variation due to change in the morphology or in the offer of services (for example in transportation and accessibility) very unreliable, despite of the success of policy and planning actions is strictly related to its control. This paper, moving in this perspective, points out some evidences on the relationships between the quali-quantitative structure of the city and the fluctuation of real estate prices with reference to house market, under the idea of investigating what is the role of urban railway stations. As a matter of fact, railway stations are nodes of the transport network as well places of the urban environment whose big impact on accessibility in the city and the corresponding contribution in the definition of property values is very intuitive. The findings on the effects of railway stations on property values are mixed, since they vary on magnitude and direction. This paper focuses on the comparison of the impact of urban railway stations on the residential estate property values as well on the structure of the city in itself, grasped in terms of configurational state. To this aim, the paper proposes a case study, evaluating how the correlation among configurational indexes and residential values distribution varies with and without the presence of the railway system. The main findings of the work make to arise a marginal or negative impact of the railway system, so as to promote the idea that other factors dominates the change in local property values around railway stations. Finally, the authors proposes the integration of ontologies and configurational analysis to define a methodological framework able to explain the state of residential estate market.
