Urban development plan, Giustiniano Imperatore, Rome

A public park is the central element in the urban development plan for the new residential district of Giustianino Imperatore in Rome. The park represents a safe and tranquil zone for children at play and for local residents. The plan devotes a great deal of attention to the physical and visual links between the individual dwellings and this public green space. Another quality of the plan is the emphasis on typological and social diversity. This encourages the residents to identify with their neighbourhood, thus fostering a vital community.
