Bergamo South Gate

Bergamo South Gate

In Bergamo Sud, the redevelopment of the railway yards area has been a debated topic for decades and the subject of numerous unrealized projects. The proposal for sustainable urban regeneration starts from the principle of analyzing the specific physical, social, and productive components concentrated in the area, enhancing their peculiarities and transforming the station and yards into a new layout. It aims to create, as the centerpiece of the intervention, an urban park that reconnects, between nature and artifice, two historically divided parts of the city. It's referred to as a sustainable project because it adds natural elements and integrates and reorganizes infrastructure, creating a mix of residential, educational, university, healthcare, and tertiary facilities. Here, pedestrianization and intermodality propose a new way of living that distinctly separates slow and fast mobility.
