regeneration of urban green environment

This project was the winner of a final works exhibition of an architectural traveling seminar, with teams of selected Italian, France, and Greece schools of architecture.
Through itinerant seminars in European cities, we developed an urban renewal proposal for the city of Piacenza, outside Milan.
The goal was to generate a sense of cohesion and identity in a fragmented city that segregates its immigrant population.
The design includes a bike route that stretches from the suburbs to the central plaza with gathering points around green zones and a longer route that extends outside the city, thereby creating multiple flows of traffic and interaction.
