In generał, re- developing the area could bring some profits, not only economic, to city of Piacenza. Here, the logistic and university businesses could represent a driving force for this goal. For this reason, the pro-ject aims to establish here some accommodation and services for students and workers, mixed with retail shops and meeting places for daily use life. Connected to the public transport network through a new bus stop, and to the city by underpasses, the area can be reachable also by car, and it makes provision for some parking lots.

The design follows a grid that drawing some path cutting the area and allow the connection between the various blocks of buildings. The landscape pat-tern is madę of green spaces for rest and relax, and paved surfaces, for meeting, cycling and running. Buildings are positioned to shield the view from the highway, and to offer specific functions such as of-fices for nearby businesses, classrooms and laborato-ries for students and kids, and short term accomoda-tion and dormitories for tourist and workers.

South, reusing spaces where the train tracks are, a new linear park is design to buffer the effects of trains in transit. By converting some old wagons, and creating new path over the rails, the project aims to revitalize this place through temporary activities and pavillons.

On the other way, going north, again taking advan-tage of a pass under the highway, you can reach a green space, formerly used by the thermal power plant, leading to the riverfront.
