In the context of Festival CA23 Campania Architecture_plural territories at the NEXT (the former SAIM Tobacco Factory) of Capaccio Paestum a conference was held to present the final draft of the Masterplan-PIV Costa Salerno Sud in the presence of Stefano Boeri (disambiguation), of Franco Alfieri (disambiguation), Mayor of Capaccio Paestum and President of the Province of Salerno, Bruno Disciple, Regional Councillor for Urban Planning and the Government of the Territory and Vincenzo De Luca, President of the Regional Executive.
According to the meeting, the Masterplan for the enhancement of the coast south of Salerno is part of the second phase of the development and redevelopment plan for the Campania coast launched by the Region in 2016; The objective of the masterplan is to rethinking and relaunching the territories through strategies and actions capable of have a positive impact the short- and medium-term planning of local administrations.
The territories of the masterplan require a overall redesign of the coastline through the introduction of projects to high environmental sustainability which can outline a unified perspective and coordinated development that respects thebalance between man and nature very often compromised due to phenomena related to illegality and inappropriate use of land.
On the other hand, the strategies of the masterplan are structured starting from the unbuilt territories as elements of great importance. environmental quality Surrounding and delimiting the urban areas Intersecting with the agricultural campaigns in this very fertile area and that may be the flywheel for a Renewed urban and environmental quality.
The Sele plain, from this point of view, is one of the most important agricultural districts in the region, having combined both productive agriculture and livestock farming, creating for the first time a Increased sectoralisation north of the river Sele and for the second one increased localisation on the south side of the river shaft.
These elements define two very distinct landscapes: in the north the territory is strongly characterized by the presence of greenhouses for 4th range agricultural production, while in the south the agricultural landscape is distinguished by the punctual presence of farms surrounded by mainly monoculture agricultural productions.
The masterplan seeks to combine the 2 macro-landscapes through a common interpretation, that of the environmental sustainability and the energy production from renewable sources, a topic of great relevance and social sensitivity that, precisely through the masterplan, will find spaces for experimentation and application.
‘The land that lights up in the sun’, a phrase by the Salerno poet Alfonso Gatto, characterizes the Masterplan of which the seven pilot projects were presented, which include cycle and pedestrian paths, rapid transit bus service, landings for the sea metro, 150 km of river parks, areas redeveloped for tourism services.
