What is the right planning approach to restore a historic park with valuable biotopes and habitats, part of the urban fabric and at the same time component of a mosaic of green spaces and green connections? Balance.
This project seeks harmony, it emphasises the importance of preserving historical heritage, its characteristics and its testimonies. At the same time opens the park to contemporary uses that appeal to a wide range of people and ages. The park offers space for recreation and relaxation, whether for a Sunday stroll or a short break from work. The design approach respects the park's past while promoting the integration of the historic park into modern city life.
