The project involves the redevelopment of a series of small areas and communal spaces that are linked together in a unified narrative of public space, also thanks to the presence of an architectural element such as the pedestrian gallery.
The gallery, three hundred and ten metres long, creates an important urban axis, connecting Aldo Moro Square and the numerous schools that follow one another along the axis to Savonarola Street, which defines the city's commercial area. The redesigned area restores the perception of a unified, albeit extended, space that can be used by citizens according to their needs and age.
Particular attention has been paid to raising citizens' awareness of environmental education and sustainability, especially given the presence of a large number of schools in the area. From an environmental point of view, the project proposes an intensification of the green input within the areas that have so far only been mineralised.
By recovering and implementing all minimum filtration areas. At the same time, the project aims to raise awareness of the responsible use of public space as a meeting place, a theatre for community initiatives and a place for art and culture.
The whole project follows a functional programme aimed at revitalising the urban space, which can once again be used as an "agora" as it was in the past. The project foresees an intervention that undermines the priority of the use of the space, which up to now has been largely conceived and intensively occupied by cars, and given the strategic nature of the place, which is often used as a meeting place not only by residents but also by people from outside the city.
