ACCORDO SCALI Railway agreement

The idea is to connect 7 former railway yards (Scali Ferroviari being the last large urban voids hinged between the center and suburbs ) to mend certain parts of the city, promote sustainable mobility, rebuild green infrastructure along the circle line. Also one of the important goals of the strategy is the revitalization of the suburbs, connecting the central metropolitan area with its district periphery.

The former railway yards occupy a free area of ​​approximately 1 million square meters, 65% of which will be destined for green areas. Connect the former railway yards and redevelop them into public spaces by weaving neighborhoods and ensuring their relationships. The idea is to use railway not as an element of segregation but as an historical opportunity to define new relationship between city and rail.

Lack of existing green network - the attempt is to resolve fragmentation, link rural to peri-urban to urban and make a continuous ecological corridor for ecosystem services. The strategy is to connect new paths to network of existing and proposed territorial environmental systems including through the railway belt.
