Abstract
The goal of this study was to define a language based on a coding of graphic-symbolic type that could describe the comfort of a city. The research traces cultural and disciplinary foundations of the urban survey using reasoned analysis and then proposes a system of representation. The first setting of an information system for the survey of urban comfort is illustrated and related to the consolidated city (in the field of historic buildings or new construction). We describe some experimental tests concerning the proposed method and report a study area that has had attention for some years that has achieved a reliable and stabilized result except for some inevitable setups. The studies were on parts of the city in transformation. They are currently immature, and they will be the subject of future studies.

Notes
- 1.
In 1948, Bruno Zevi matures full awareness of the role, competences and mutual cooperation of the disciplines of architecture and the construction of the city. For the first time, we talk in disjointed terms with competitors when discussing architectural space and urban space. The three-dimensional languages include humans. […] Every building contributes to the creation of two areas: (1) the interior is entirely defined by the architectural work and outdoor spaces, and (2) the urban that is enclosed in this work and the other adjacent work. Thus, it is obvious that all those issues have been excluded from the real and proper architecture […]. This especially favours the facades of the buildings. These all fall into play for the formation of urban spaces. See [3].
