urban time policies
Explanation:
The concept is really an Italian one, so googling is tricky, because most appearances are in documents translated from Italian.

Here's one definition:
Urban time policies are public policies that intervene in the time schedules and time organization that regulate human relationships at the urban level. Urban time policies were launched in Italy at the end of the 1980s. Within a span of 10 to 15 years, 170 municipalities have been involved in time-oriented projects or timetable plans, or in studies of urban social time.


You will see lots of appearances if you google this: tempi delle città english

; this will give you bilingual sources. I think this standard translation is very clear.
