Piazza Turi Ferro urban regeneration (Catania, Sicilia)

Urban Integrated Plans (Mission 5 Component 2 Investment 5)

Italy's Recovery and Resilience Plan provides for the regeneration, revitalization and enhancement of large degraded urban areas, with particular attention to the creation of new services for the person and the requalification of accessibility and inter-modal infrastructures, allowing the transformation of vulnerable territories into smart and sustainable cities. This investment includes two interventions: (I) support to general projects to deliver and implement urban integrated plans, such as maintenance and reuse of public areas and buildings, regeneration and valorisation of under-used or unused urban areas, etc. (II) specific projects to overcome illegal settlements in agriculture.

The investment is financed by Italy's Recovery and Resilience plan.

As part of this measure, the project is part of the CTA Integrated Urban Plan in Catania. The newly created Piazza Turi Ferro, in the heart of the historic centre, is a unique public space that embodies the regeneration of the city while respecting its history and identity.
