Porta Sud: a new smart district for Bergamo
The project intervention will see as a unified element the overcoming of the barrier of the railway axis (now a divisive element of the city) and the organic reconnection of the part of the city south of the railway axis with the Piacenza center. The road layout will be improved and integrated, creating more effective and rapid connections between the different transport systems present, and the planivolumetric scheme of the areas will be redesigned by subdividing and distributing the lots and functional destinations in an organic and integrated way so as to enhance the areas and create urban areas of high quality. With the advent of the third millennium, cities around the world have become the subject of special attention and study, so much so that this era has been called “the century of cities.” Within this global scenario, which recognizes a new and dominant role for the most urbanized realities, the city of Bergamo has accepted the challenge of change and transformation from a smart city perspective. Therefore, the main objective will be to improve the lives of citizens, managing to reconcile and meet their needs with those of businesses and institutions in the fields of technology, mobility, environment and energy efficiency.
