Abstract
The complex urban reality, in continuous evolution, are characterized by buildings, facilities, equipment, human capital, social capital and the ability to create sustainable economic development. Today, urban planning is called to respond to the new needs of the community, for this reason it is necessary to avoid the mistakes made in the past and think of a plan to be adapted to the change. All this is possible through the implementation of participatory strategic actions which ensure high levels of quality of life as well as responsible management of land resources. This outlines the concept of sustainable development and resilient cities, forcefully entered in today’s urban paradigm, becoming the key to activate the competitiveness of cities. In this work, particular attention is paid to sustainable mobility in Italy, in the knowledge that the innovations of the mobility and transport system is needed to ensure the livability of future cities.

In addition, it aims to preserve the natural capital, biodiversity, human health, air quality, the water, the soil in order to ensure, in the long life and well-being of humans and animals and plant. The principles of sustainable development are “rethought” in a more flexible set, a local creative process, in which the individuality of each city emerges, the latter called to develop their own strategies, to implement them and to inform each other and experiences.

The environment has three main functions in the economy in general and man’s sustenance: 1. provides us the natural resources that it uses as an engine of all its activities; 2. receives and assimilates the waste resulting from human activities; 3. ensures the survival of mankind while providing living space and space for recreation.

The difference between the two concepts is that sustainability is a goal to be achieved to ensure the welfare of future generations (Bruntland Report on Sustainable Development, UN 2987), resilience, on the contrary covering a way in which we face change, can be a It was more or less desirable.
