The project for the Intervention Plan of Padua, drawn up by Stefano Boeri Architetti and MATE Società Cooperativa, has arrived at the City Council, where it will be voted on Monday evening between majority and opposition for approval.
The main theme that guided the drafting of the new Interventions Plan originates from the regeneration of the city of Padua, starting from citizens’ needs to improve the quality of urban life.
The regeneration of Padua as a city of wards is based on actions that aim to contain soil consumption – with a 63% decrease compared to the current Plan and the regeneration of 550,000 square metres of underused areas -, to enhance public transport between the wards – with 23 km of new tram routes, 55 new pedestrian islands and the creation of a 56 km long orbital cycle path system – and to enhance and implement the green system.
The news was picked up by some national newspapers such as Il Mattino di Padova.
