In issue 194 of Arketipo magazine, from September 2026, an article is published dedicated to the project of a green promenade for the Cagliari waterfront, carried out by the temporary grouping of MATE Società Cooperativa, Stefano Boeri Architetti, StudioSilva, S.T.P., MIC-HUB, together with archaeologist Demis Massimiliano Murgia, which involves the redevelopment of the Via Roma promenade, an intervention along the Port front, and the reorganization of Piazza Matteotti.
The new urban and landscape intervention restores the social and environmental value of Cagliari’s waterfront through a green promenade that revives the original nineteenth-century function of Via Roma. Drawing on Cagliari’s tradition of tree-lined avenues, the project defines a continuous, pedestrian, shaded public space that acts as a “green lung” and connecting element — both longitudinally, between the Railway Station and Piazza Ingrao, and transversally, between the city and the sea.
Based on transport studies that redesigned the mobility system, the project involves narrowing two lanes of the main roadway in order to extend the city’s public space all the way to the sea.
In this way, the new promenade triggers the creation of a new park and a space open to the city, becoming a connecting element between the waterfront and the main public functions facing it, enhancing the entire area from a cultural, social, and environmental point of view.
