The spatial and temporal accessibility of services is a central issue for the development of contemporary urban environments: It relates to themes such as social cohesion, democratic use of the city, local welfare, quality of life of citizens, urban quality and urban sustainability. By focusing on the supply and accessibility of services, one challenges the equitable and sustainable development of contemporary urban systems.We address this topic starting from the notion of the inhabited city, the physical city including the citizens who inhabit it, in the path of the innovation produced during the last 20 years in Europe: the space-time approach to urban policies, urban design and planning.Rhythms and DiversityMarco Mareggi Urban Rhythms in the Contemporary CityJean-Yves Boulin Working on Sunday: Regulations, Impacts and Perceptions of the Time Use PracticesMerle Pottharst and Benjamin Konecke The Night and Its LossAdam Eldridge and Marion Roberts Re-populating the Nighttime City: Hospitality and GenderLuc Gwiazdzinski Teenagers in the Contemporary City: Hypermodern Times, Spaces and PracticesGemma Vila Time and Urban Morphology: Dispersed and Compact City Time Use in the Metropolitan Region of BarcelonaAlbert Mayr and Antonella Radicchi Intermezzo: Time walkMobility and AccessDietrich Henckel and Susanne Thomaier Efficiency, Temporal Justice, and the Rhythm of CitiesStefano Stabilini, Roberto Zedda, and Lucia Zanettichini Accessibility of Public Spaces and Services: Theoretical Remarks, Practices and Instruments from Urban Time PlanningMatteo Colleoni Mobility, Accessibility and Social Equity: A Comparative and Interdisciplinary Empirical Study in theMetropolitan Areas of Milan, Bologna and TurinJenni Kuoppa Beyond Vague Promises of Liveability: An Exploration ofWalking in Everyday LifeKonrad Miciukiewicz and Geoff Vigar Encounters in Motion: Considerations of Time and Social Justice in Urban Mobility ResearchDietrich Henckel, Benjamin K¨onecke, and Susanne Thomaier Intermezzo: Time Intervention in Public Spaces – The Artist Mark FormanekUrban Time PoliciesJeroen van Schaick Revisiting Exemplars of the Times-of-the-City Approach: The Viability of the ‘Neodiscipline’ ClaimFermın Rodrıguez Gutierrez City, Urbanism, Social Sustainability and the Right to the CityMarina Zambianchi The Area Governance Plan and the Territorial Time Plan of the City of Bergamo: An Example of Temporal City PlanningRaffaella Radoccia Time Policies in Italy: The Case of the Middle Adriatic RegionsGiancarlo Vecchi Studying Good Practices to Lesson Drawing and Transfer: Introduction to the Causal Mechanisms Approach – A Proposal for Exchanges Among European Networks on Time-Oriented PoliciesUlrich Muckenberger Do Urban Time Policies Have a Real Impact on Quality of Life?
