Concerto AL Piano The Integrated Urban Villages of Alessandria

• Concerto AL Piano The Integrated Urban Villages of Alessandria

• FP6 Project

• Coordinator: SOFTECH Tecnologia Energia Ambiente

• Objectives:

• Concerto AL Piano will operate in an urban area embracing the most urgent problems faced by the City of Alessandria, built in the last century. This area, placed along the railway sorting depot, creates a large “urban vacuum” between two residential areas with a high density to east and the west.
