Rationale: Why have you chosen this case for the landscape and democracy seminar?
- Why is this case relevant?
I decided to choose as a democratic challenge in my personal landscape the case of PIAZZA VERDI, in Bologna. It is a public square right in the centre of the historical city, surrounded by a very social area. Being in the University district, students cross it every day on their way to classes and exams; many cafes and bars are places nearby so it could be a location for nice breaks from early in the morning to the aperitivo time in the evening. One of the main theatres of Bologna is also placed in Piazza Verdi, such as different historical sites, so it could also host cultural events. Instead, everyone knows it for its degradation and suspicious users, especially after the sunset. Many projects took place over the years to change the situation, some of them really effective, others less, but the square still needs a common reaction to become a high quality public space.
