CONCEPT
Multipolarities Polycentrism Communities Mobilities Systems
Our work considers multipolarities and polycentrism as the structuring axes of an intervention that wants to conglomerate dynamics and flows, confluences, affluences and fluences of a porous and fragmented territory.

CONFLUENCE
- definition of public-private transition spaces on the banks of the Tinto River (where the intervention was limited to the banks);
- requalification of the banks of the Torto river and its union with the adjacent areas, promoting the creation of useful spaces for the communities (urban vegetable gardens, green spaces reusing existing rural trails, recovery of structures);

AFFLUENCE
- redefining the uses of undefined fragments of the territory, with the aim of providing them with equipment and new centers where (and from where) people flock, creating dynamics/synergies between their uses and consequent multipolarities;
- connection between the existing housing nuclei, through the need for mobility and interest in new equipment, which create more compact and attractive areas, uniting the different communities;
- requalification/definition of new uses and support structures for unoccupied (formerly rural) housing nuclei, in order to make them a pole of interest and to promote the dynamics between these and other areas;

- connection between existing housing areas, through the creation of mobility systems and new equipment that create more compact and attractive zones, uniting the communities;
- requalification/definition of new uses and support structures for the unoccupied housing areas (ex-rural), in order to make them a pole of interest and to promote the dynamics between these and the other uses;
- definition of the new mobility modes resulting from the newly created dynamics and the connection of the new poles and centers of attraction.
