Riccione. The Palazzo dei Congressi
There are two big projects under way, different and complementary at the same time. The first avenue
Europe and goes from the train station overpass at the intersection with Via, Via Piave stretching. Work has already started for some time, with the reconstruction of the avenue and the demolition of old warehouses, but most should still go. The affected area is 5 hectares. The second intervention instead
riqualificherà with 23 acres of the city: the former vegetable market area, the area behind the church of Saint Pius X to Vigne, coverage of the tunnel Secant and Karl Marx Square, between the Station and the Faculty of Psychology. For the latter awaits the outcome of the international competition of ideas for the neighborhood "Novello" organized by the city last summer. Europa Park
intervention along the avenue from the station was called "Europa Park", with perhaps a bit 'of irony when you consider that two thirds of the project include the construction of residential dwellings. Florentine Opera
study Natalini, in collaboration with the architect Richard Barbieri Cesena, conceptual designs (presented in July 2007) was awarded in Venice last November by the journal of the National Institute of Urban section "balance of interests."
The bulk of the residential area will be built between the south side of Via Piave Europe and the streets and suburbs Comandini, instead of the stores of fruit killed in recent months. A small proportion of housing, not less than 5 percent of the area was provided by the Municipality as subsidized housing. A kind of Indian reservation in the middle of a sea of \u200b\u200bhouses at market prices.
A private in the intervention will be the company "New Madonna srl" Macerone tied bags in the construction company . New bus
But in the area, in the former goods yard of the station, there will also be the new bus station and a public underground car park with 260 parking spaces: "It was not easy to capture the area from Railways - comments' City's planning department Maura Miserocchi - but the ground passed into the hands of the City about a year. Now, after submitting the final draft, we will pass the activation of the program. Here you will define the obligations of Town, County and private sectors. If all goes to the best work can start by 2009. The plan will be valid for 10 years, but its realization will depend on the dynamics of the private, not everything could be done immediately. The bus, however, is considered by urbanization and will be implemented first, like the parking lot. "
The value of the public, which must be added the new school building within the jurisdiction of the Province, is close 8 million €.
the presentation of the final draft should miss a few days: "It is all ready - the architect confirms Barbieri - deliver it within the week. Compared to the guidelines last summer, which is already very detailed, we have made only minor adjustments, changes of detail.
The framework agreement will be built but on the final draft, involving more individuals in danger of dragging it into a bureaucratic morass, with the approval of the municipal council of the provincial capital verification, control agreements and agreements. The designer, however, is confident: "From presentation of the project we could close in six months, in other situations where there was a strong interest in public works to be carried out are enough. "
Meanwhile now completed its work on Viale Europa, which overlooks the new buildings. Closed at times since March 2007, it took 12 months to refurbish the avenue, with the reconstruction of underground utilities, street lighting, sidewalks and furniture. A year that has sorely tested the patience of residents and commuters, private than a hundred free parking spaces.
During the work the district has also been prepared for the new neighborhood and made an automatic irrigation system. At the moment it only remains to move the streetlight at the intersection with via flyover, a "mushroom" of light, 30 meters high that at the end of the work for the construction of the roundabout, he found himself in the middle of the lane and is marked by new jersey plastic.
In any case, the whole area has changed in appearance. What was once the realm of weeds, abandoned rails and parked cars savage, is now starting to become an avenue worthy of the name.
roundabout junction with the road overpass has improved movement and access to and from the station area, eliminating the long queues that formed at the traffic light on Via Emilia.
A re even bigger, with 23 acres of the city, is linked to the "Novello". Despite affecting a large part of the district Vigne, Novello wine, but will not be a name to redevelop an area that, from behind the church of Saint Pius X (Agrifrut area) will be extended to the former fruit and vegetable market. Touching on the area near the river Savio (new center civil protection) and place them Karl Marx, the current bus station.
The goal is to create a well-integrated neighborhood, the opposite of that planning, "compartmentalized" that were made in the past.
'E' the concept of the new city - the mayor Giordano Conti - which does not expand, but again abandoned spaces, into disuse. Cesena follows a model that at least thirty years, redevelopment of the old town which is followed in the mid-'80s, the old dell'Arrigoni opposite the station. "
For the area the City has launched an international competition last summer of ideas. In November last ten architects were selected, or studies of architecture, as finalists. Among these was the famous study David Chipperfield of London, then retired to commitments related to previous work. The nine remaining finalists presented their projects before the end of April.
Now the jury, in which sit the Spaniard Oriol Bohigas , the Dean of the Faculty of Architecture Gino Malacarne and the chairman of the National Urban Gino Oliva, will decide the winner (awarded with 50 thousand €) Saturday, May 17. After that, between mid-June and mid July, will be organized an exhibition at the Palazzo del Reduced project finalists.
