La Nuova Sardegna publishes an interview by Giuseppe Centore with Stefano Boeri on the birth and development of the project for “A green promenade for Cagliari’s seafront”-presented by the temporary grouping of MATE Società Cooperativa, Stefano Boeri Architetti, StudioSilva, S.T.P., MIC-HUB, with archaeologist Demis Massimiliano Murgia, following the tender won for the redefinition of Cagliari’s waterfront-which includes the redevelopment of the promenade of Via Roma, an intervention on the waterfront of the Port and the redevelopment of Piazza Matteotti.
The new urban and landscape intervention aims to restore the social and environmental value of Cagliari’s waterfront, through a green promenade that will resume the original 19th-century function of Via Roma. Starting from the Cagliari tradition of tree-lined boulevards, the project defines a continuous, pedestrian and shaded public space that functions as a “green lung” and connector element, both longitudinally between the FFSS Station and Piazza Ingrao, and transversally – between the city and the sea.
“Redeveloping the city center makes it more accessible and livable for everyone, first for all Cagliari residents and visitors, then for residents. Then it’s a matter of putting hands on a unique system throughout the Mediterranean. A waterfront with behind, parallel to it, the “white city.” A spectacle that would extend for miles to Sant’Elia. A unique vision that would make history. No other seaside city has this option. Cagliari would be unique. An even more sparkling jewel.” declares Stefano Boeri.
