The City Council has approved the Technical-Economic Feasibility Project relating to the urban regeneration intervention envisaged by the Urban Agenda for smaller areas, concerning the areas of Acquabona and Fondo di Gesù.
The intervention involves a financial investment of 937,000 euros
The project aims to restore quality, functionality and liveability to currently degraded urban contexts, through a coordinated set of redevelopment works.
The proposed intervention involves: the demolition of the former school complex of the “Gravina” high school in the Acquabona area and of two buildings in the Fondo di Gesù district, in order to create new public spaces, squares, socialization areas and play areas dedicated to the little ones.
In particular, the intervention involves the recovery, reconversion, reuse and environmental enhancement of the areas surrounding the demolished buildings, which are now highly degraded, with the aim of improving the urban quality overall.
And also the improvement of public spaces through: installation of new street furniture elements, high performance lighting, video surveillance systems, children’s games and/or areas equipped for sports activities and planting of trees and urban greenery with suitable species, which do not cause damage to the road surface or pavements.
Some of the new areas could be dedicated to recreational and cultural initiatives, generating positive dynamics of social inclusion and encouraging greater community participation.
The redevelopment and “reconquest” of these urban spaces will contribute to strengthening the perception of legality and decorum, restoring safety, order and beauty to the neighborhoods involved.
The demolition of degraded buildings and the subsequent reorganization of public spaces will initiate a broader process of valorization of the urban context, significantly improving the quality of life of residents and making the spaces more functional, welcoming and socially usable.
