LA PIAZZA DEI PLATANI. NUOVE POLARITÀ PER LA SOCIALIZZAZIONE, L’OSPITALITÀ, IL TEMPO LIBERO

THE PIAZZA DEI PLATANI NEW POLARITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION, HOSPITALITY, AND LEISURE The contemporary city, fragmented and unpredictable, requires regeneration strategies that go beyond reductive visions and take shape in the physical space through architectural interventions capable of taking root in the territory. Urban regeneration must be based on a broad structural design, which translates into spatial practices aligned with the environmental, social, and economic needs of the context. Within this framework, FUTURA is positioned with the primary objective of enhancing the thermal city as a model of diffuse urbanity, where soft mobility, quality of time, and the reappropriation of public space become key instruments. The project for the new Piazza dei Platani represents a concrete outcome of this vision, transforming a residual area into a multifunctional urban square, integrated into the existing system and capable of promoting a renewed sense of public centrality. Through a measured strategy attentive to the memory of places, a model of the city is affirmed that restores meaning to open space, fostering relationships, well-being, and historical continuity.
