Taranto è una città antichissima e contiene in sé il DNA del mediterraneo, in quanto punto di incontro di tutte le grandi culture che lo hanno attraversato. Tuttavia lo sviluppo della città tra Diciannovesimo e Ventesimo secolo ha avuto conseguenze tuttora attuali e irrisolte. Dapprima lo sviluppo è iniziato con la realizzazione dell’Arsenale Militare, poi con gli stabilimenti industriali. Da un lato l’industria è stata motore di crescita ma dall’altro ha portato problematiche sociali e ambientali di cui ancora Taranto risente, essendo di fatto rimasta l’unico vero sbocco di crescita economica per decenni. L’evoluzione socio-economica della città e la sua configurazione geografica, hanno a portato a uno sviluppo urbanistico ad “arcipelago”, in cui i quartieri sono fisicamente distaccati e non integrati tra loro. Inoltre la città e i suoi quartieri hanno perso l’originale rapporto con il mare, anticamente principale risorsa economica per Taranto. I cantieri navali, l’Arsenale, Il Porto e gli stabilimenti industriali hanno di fatto costruito una barriera fisica intorno al Mar Piccolo e il successivo abbandono di molte di queste strutture ha aggravato la situazione, trasformando i bordi tra mare e città in distese di cemento ed edifici in disuso. La strategia della tesi è quella di restituire al Mar Piccolo un ruolo primario nel contesto economico, sociale ed ambientale di Taranto, riportandolo ad essere risorsa essenziale per la crescita della città. Il mar Piccolo diventa una nuova Piazza, su cui si affacciano attività occupazionali, educative, commerciali, turistiche, culturali.. Uno spazio da restituire alla comunità, attraverso tre ambiti di interventi: - Forestazione urbana: un sistema verde continuo che contiene l’espansione centri e agisce come elemento di mitigazione ambientale, riduzione dell’inquinamento e decontaminazione dei suoli - Harbour farm: parchi flottanti riorganizzano la mitilicoltura, potenziandone il valore economico e paesaggistico e aprendo nuove possibilità di crescita per la città - Nuove spazialità urbane: la città si estende nel mare con spazi pubblici sull’acqua che interagiscono con i bordi esistenti e mirano a ricollegare i quartieri dell’arcipelago con il Mar Piccolo

Abstract
Taranto is an ancient city, conteining in itself all the Mediterranean DNA, since it has always been a meeting point among the great cultures crossing the sea. By the way, the urban development that the city underwent between Nineteenth century and Twentieth century had negative consequences still relevant and unresolved. At first the development began with the opening of the Military Dockyard, then with those industrial factories that we know well. On the one hand the industry has been an engine of growth but on the other has brought social and environmental issues which still suffers Taranto, remaining the only real economic growth source for decades. The socio-economic changing of the city, and its geography, led to an urban development similar to a “disconnected archipelago”, in which the districts are currently physically detached and not integrated in one urban context. Moreover the city and its districts lost the original relation with the sea, which formerly was the main economic resource for Taranto. Shipyards, dockyard, harbour and industries actually built a physical barier around Mar Piccolo and the following abandon of these buildings made the situation even worse, converting urban boundaries into concrete and leftover areas. Thesis’s aim is to give back to Mar Piccolo a primary role in the economic, social and environmental panorama of Taranto, so that sea can start to be again an essential resource for city’s growth. Mar Piccolo becomes a new square, overlooked by job places, educational facilities, commercial, touristic and cultural activities. It becomes a space for the community, by acting on three intervention fields: - Urban forestation: a green continuous system stops urban centrifugal spread, working for environmental mitigation, pollution reduction and soils decontamination. - Harbour farm: floating gardens re-define mussels farming activity, increasing its economic and landscape value and opening new growth opportunities for the city - New urban spaces: city goes inside the sea with new public spaces on the water that interact with existing boundaries in orde to reconnect archipelago’s districts with Mar Piccolo.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
