Integrated Urban Plans (IUPs): Santa Maria della Pietà - Works on the Pavilions of Lazio Region Local Health Facilities (ASL)

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. Local administrations will be supported in the creation of action plans to overcome illegal settlements and provide decent housing solutions for workers in the agricultural sector. Furthermore, under this investment a thematic Fund (Fund of Funds) will be created, in collaboration with the EIB, targeting the support of private intervention in urban regeneration initiatives. This fund will be used to support the climate and digital transition of urban areas. This investment is financed by the NRRP by EUR 1.4 billion.

The integrated plan developed for Santa Maria della Pietà aims to create a Health and Well-being Park, which represents an articulated system of spaces and activities to enhance personal development. The project aims to promote social-work skills, healthy lifestyles and psychophysical well-being, embracing aspects such as nutrition education, entrepreneurship, legality, sport and exercise. The intervention will include actions that meet the need for space for personal care and provide an environment conducive to social welfare, training, entrepreneurial and workshop initiatives. These activities will complement those already present in the complex, supporting the recovery and revitalisation of the park and the existing pavilions. The design will develop and integrate different functions, responding to citizens' needs, with a focus on physical and psychological well-being, social care, sociality and inclusion. The services offered will support emerging businesses and the most vulnerable. The experimental approach and shared governance could be a model for other initiatives that promote collaboration between institutional, private, scientific and civic entities.
