Clearly, the same logic can be used to illustrate the links between the other Key Categories and the indicator list and ultimately form a cybernetic model able to address the patterns of relationships through which the performance an urban context is led by its morphological structure.
Case Study
PolimiparaRocinha
As it is predicted by UN that by 2050 around 70 percent of the urban population would live in informal settlements, it seems appropriate that the mentioned methodology will be tested in such a context. Therefore PolomiParaRocinha which is a 2016 Polisocial award-winning project is selected as the case study. PolimiparaRocinha is a project with a theme of environmental performance and social inclusion for Rocinha, the biggest Favela of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil of which the author of this thesis is the coordinator of the operative team.
