Render quartiere “Cecchignola Ovest”

SUSTAINABILITY

Construction of the "Cecchignola Ovest" neighbourhood

A new Urban Transformation Program called "Cecchignola Ovest" has been launched in Municipality IX. The intervention will include various activities, among which the construction of private buildings, roads, car parks and public sewage systems. 

Furthermore, there will be included the construction of a park of approximately 22 hectares and new public services, including two kindergartens for 60 children, two nursery schools with three sections each and an elementary school with 10 classrooms.

Private construction, amounting to approximately 425,000 cubic metres, is currently underway. Some buildings, known as "Città Verde” (Green City), are following the certification program according to the GBC Quartieri energy-environmental protocol, respecting the criteria of the GBC Home protocol. This approach aims to encourage socialization and cultural exchange, helping to give the new neighbourhood its own urban identity.

Piazza dei Navigatori

SUSTAINABILITY

Piazza dei Navigatori

The Innovation Urban Planning has redefined the functionality of public spaces and, simultaneously, implemented a major private intervention designed by "Mario Cucinella Architects". The intervention aims to redevelop the urban area, with special attention to the landscaping of the edges of Via Cristoforo Colombo and the areas connecting with the surrounding neighbourhood. The main goal is to expand this redevelopment to the Plan of Viale Giustiniano Imperatore by reorganising the rest and green areas. This intervention will involve significant simplifications in the local infrastructures, i.e. the reintegration of traffic in Via Cristoforo Colombo towards Viale di Tor Marancia, to allow a full light synchronisation along Via Cristoforo Colombo.

The affected areas will not only benefit from a functional urban redesign, but also from a redevelopment of their public green spaces and urban services, with the aim of increasing the permeability of the area involved and promoting "urban forestation". More specifically, car parks are planned over an area of 39,000 sqm, and green public services over an area of 16,000 sqm. In addition, the cycle paths will be redesigned and new facilities for the neighbourhood created, including a new bowls club, skate park and children's play area. These facilities will be integrated and organised in valuable landscapes, providing comfortable shady spaces.

Lastly, it is planned to relocate the bar kiosk currently located in Piazza Elio Rufino, to create a social context integrated with the square itself, through redevelopment including seats, flowerbeds and potted trees.

Render Student Housing

SUSTAINABILITY

Student Housing (Ostiense)

The intervention relates to the construction of a new building of approximately 13,000 sqm in the Ostiense neighbourhood. The area under intervention, denominated “C4 Division”, falls within the area affected by the redevelopment of the Ostiense station, included in the Roma Capitale's Program pursuant to Law No. 396/90.

The building will have a dual purpose, both residential and tourism, for a total of 314 rooms for students and 117 housing units.

The intervention aims to allocate about 435 sqm for social housing. The social housing units have been integrated into the main project and will include one 68 sqm housing unit, six 45 smq housing units and three 32 sqm housing units.

The design of the building emphasises the contrast between the lightness of the metal elements and the material "mass" of the Tower, characterised by windows alternating with shatters or sunshades. 

The whole structure is designed to minimise energy consumption and will include a technical pergola with state-of-the-art photovoltaic panels on the roof and along the south-facing wall. The overall strategy of intervention is inspired by environmental sustainability, with the aim to receive the Leed Gold certification.

Render Via Boncompagni

SUSTAINABILITY

Urban regeneration of Via Boncompagni


The Boncompagni project represents the first intervention of multi-purpose urban regeneration in the heart of the Central Business District of Rome. The activity will include four main elements: 

  • a modern office building of approximately 17,000 square metres, situated along Via Boncompagni and Via Romagna, characterised by a contemporary glass façade, a double-height entrance lobby, terraces, and exclusive services and commercial premises;
  • the redevelopment of an existing building of approximately 4,200 square metres, intended for office spaces, with particular attention to the conservation and valorisation of the historical façade along Via Sicilia;
  • a high-standard residential building of approximately 7,500 square metres, located on the corner between Via Boncompagni and Via Puglie;
  • a multifunctional space inside the Church of Saint Lawrence, located on the corner between Via Sicilia and Via Puglie.

The most iconic building, called the Glass Building, will feature a curved glass façade designed by Mad, which will guarantee abundant natural light and transparency to the premises. The building will be able to accommodate up to 1,600 people in modern and efficient offices, in compliance with the best international sustainability standards.

The second building, known as the Brick Building, is characterised by a strong historical identity given by the brick façade on Via Sicilia. Despite having smaller dimensions than the Glass Building, its design has achieved the same level of certifications. 

The residential building will host 38 apartments of different types, characterised by a modern and functional design.

Tor Marancia Park

The Administration has set itself the objective of completing the enhancement of the Tor Marancia Park in Municipality VIII, a large green area safeguarded by the overbuilding of Antonio Cederna, but still not completely accessible to the whole city. In May 2022, the Council ratified a resolution for the opening of the Tor Marancia Park, defining the agreements with the Tormarancio Consortium to make the green area accessible to the public, regulate the loan of the areas not yet sold to Rome, and manage maintenance activities.

After more than 10 years of waiting, a new segment of the park was inaugurated in August 2022, called Functional Implementation Area (AFA) 3, covering 13 hectares mainly dedicated to younger people, with play areas and suitable paths. In July 2023, the building permit was issued to equip a further 6.5 hectares of greenery, including an equipped garden, a paved square of approximately 700 m2, bicycle-pedestrian paths, a fitness trail, an area for children, and an area for dogs. Work is underway and is expected to be completed in spring 2024. At the same time, work is underway to start the recovery of the 3 farmhouses, so-called AFA6, located right inside this portion of the park. Currently, the decision-making services conference is underway and is expected to end by early January 2024.

Redevelopment of Villa Aldobrandini

The redevelopment of Villa Aldobrandini is a complex challenge that touches on environmental, architectural, historical, artistic, urban, social, and management aspects, all linked to its accessibility. The preliminary project for the general recovery of the Villa, with an estimated cost of € 8,300,000.00, was approved by Resolution of the City Council of Roma Capitale no. 98 of 30 March 2023. This project includes six areas of intervention:

  • vegetation recovery and redevelopment of the garden;
  • recovery of the pavilion on the corner between Via Nazionale and Via Mazzarino;
  • recovery of the pavilion on the corner between Via Nazionale and Largo Magnanapoli;
  • restoration and recovery of the Sixteenth-century loggia, original access to the villa;
  • restoration of the staircase and adaptation with elevator from the Nineteenth-century portal overlooking Via Nazionale;
  • renovation and redevelopment of the archaeological area.

With an initial funding of € 2,700,000.00, the executive project of the first batch was drawn up, whose work began on 11 April 2024. This first phase includes:

  • vegetation recovery and redevelopment of the garden;
  • recovery of the pavilion on the corner between Via Nazionale and Largo Magnanapoli, intended for use as a coffee house and installation of an elevator connecting to the garden;
  • restoration and recovery of the Sixteenth-century loggia, original access to the villa, with museum accommodation and recovery of the cordonata.

GRAB

SUSTAINABILITY

GRAB (Grande Raccordo Anulare delle Bici - Great Ring Road for Bicycles)

The GRAB project is a cycle path designed by associations of cyclists and environmentalists with the aim of promoting tourism and enhancing landscape and historical, artistic and environmental heritage. The ring road is around 50 km long, formed of pre-existing stretches of cycle paths along roads and in parks, as well as new routes built specifically for this purpose.

The project has already been added to the national system of tourist cycleways, granting it significant public relevance. Its implementation falls under the measures of Italy’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) and is one of the projects related to the Catholic Church Jubilee celebration in 2025.

The GRAB crosses the most significant locations in Rome, from centre to outskirts. Divided into 6 lots, each one divided again into smaller sections, the route touches down in iconic locations such as the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, the Baths of Caracalla, the old Appian Way, the Quadraro neighbourhood, the Valle dell’Aniene Nature Reserve, Villa Ada, Villa Borghese Gardens, Via Guido Reni, Viale Angelico, Via Lepanto, Via Giulia, and Via dei Fori Imperiali.

The project activities aim to ensure the usability, interconnection and intermodal nature of the route, while respecting Directive 375/2017 of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (MIT). This means the Rome Cycleway is key infrastructure for promoting sustainable mobility and health. Its construction offers an opportunity to transform and develop strategic areas of the city, rethinking the roles and shapes of its major roads.

The Cycleway becomes an integral part of this transformation, positively influencing the quality of urban spaces. By connecting places of excellence and daily function, the infrastructure is rooted into the territories it crosses, becoming a trajectory of encounters and a valid alternative to the use of cars for daily journeys.

The creation of connections with rail stations is crucial for extending the GRAB radius of use. The cycleway intersects 8 metro stations, 13 stops on 6 different tram lines, and 3 railway stations. This also makes the GRAB accessible from the rail, metro and tram networks, expanding its use beyond municipal borders.

Approved in December 2023, the final design eliminates interferences with jubilee projects and NRRP measures, guaranteeing the cohesion of the GRAB with the Catholic Church Jubilee celebrations and urban planning objectives (PUMS – PGTU). The Cycleway is the key in a new vision of urban mobility, contributing to lower pollution and social costs and fairer access to resources in the territory.

Along its route through the city, from the center to the outskirts, the GRAB takes on different characteristics and forms: in some sections, it is a clearly defined path, separate from pedestrian walkways, while in others, it runs along sidewalks, integrating with the road. In the green areas of villas and parks, the route follows existing paths, which are undergoing restoration to repair original paving and drainage systems, with the goal of ensuring safety and decorum. During the services conference, the Colosseum Archaeological Park requested, for Lot 1, a shared decision-making process regarding the "green band" and the planting of specific plant species along Via di San Gregorio.

Working site considered partially closed and operating at the beginning of the Jubilee Year.

Render ex Residence Bravetta

SUSTAINABILITY

Former Bravetta Residence

The former Residence in via Bravetta, a structure of approximately 100,000 m3 built in the late 1970s, remained in a state of abandonment for over 15 years, configuring itself as a reinforced concrete structure at the entrance to the Valle dei Casali Nature Reserve. 

Following the eviction of the last building, which took place in August 2007, the buildings were stripped of their external walls to avoid occupations, awaiting reclamation and redevelopment.

Demolition operations on the first building began in July 2022 and were completed in spring 2023. Demolition of the second section, consisting of 4 buildings, began in November 2023 and will be completed in spring 2024.

In accordance with a 2022 council resolution and the subsequent supplementary agreement signed in May 2023, a new children's centre will be built in the area of the former Residence, including a kindergarten and a nursery school with a maximum reception capacity of 150 children. Public squares and paths will also be developed between the "Buon Pastore" complex and the park itself, facilitating the direct connection of the neighbourhood with the surrounding urban park system: "Valle dei Casali", "Tenuta dei Massimi" and "Villa Pamphilj".

Orchidea fund

Ex Fiera di Roma - cantiere

SUSTAINABILITY

Former Rome Fair

The Council of Roma Capitale ratified the agreement with the Orchidea Srl fund, establishing the start of the redevelopment of the former Rome Fair complex. The primary objective is to recover a large central area of the city and create an open and integrated environment with the territory, promoting collaboration with Bodies and Institutions, in particular with the University of Roma Tre. The intervention aims at joining private interests with public purposes related to research and experimentation, outlining a model of training and knowledge hub for the benefit of citizens.

The agreement provides for the complete transformation of the site in Via Cristoforo Colombo through the demolition of the buildings and their replacement with new public and private structures. On a total area of about 76,000 m2, of which over 12,000 m2 are reserved for equipped public green areas under the responsibility of Roma Capitale, 35,000 m2 are planned for residential use, of which over 7,000 m2 are dedicated to social housing. In addition, more than 8,800 m2 are planned for non-residential purposes, of which about 6,800 m2 for office services and 2,000 m2 for commercial activities. The project also includes about 27,000 m2 of equipped public green space and about 12,500 m2 of private green areas.

In order to define the executive urban plan, a competition was held to select the Masterplan, which was won by "The City of Joy" project, developed by ACPV Architects, Arup, Asset and P'arcnouveau. The resources from the fund amount to eighty thousand euros: forty thousand euros for the winning proposal and ten thousand euros for each of the first four proposals selected after the winning proposal.

The project, whose title refers to the famous novel by the French writer Dominique Lapierre, proposes the regeneration of this area through a series of interventions, thus developing new synergies and relationships between the public city and the private city, and giving substance and continuity to the interventions provided for by the Urban Planning of Piazza dei Navigatori.

Among other things, it provides numerous green areas and services to promote outdoor, sports and social activities aimed at families and young people, such as picnic areas, areas for events and active spaces for fitness.

50% of the area will be used for green spaces and services, with an increase in soil permeability of around 3.9 hectares of surface area, about half of the total area (7.6 hectares).
