Good practice:

VILLA FASTIGGI, ECO-SUSTAINABLE DISTRICT

The project of the new building settlement comes from the deep knowledge of the place, acquired according to an analytical reading of environmental factors (air, surface and underground waters, soil and subsoil, natural environment and ecosystems, landscape, historical and typological aspects) and climatic factors (thermo-hygrometric climate, sun-air impact, availability of natural light, acoustic climate, electromagnetic fields).
One of the fundamental problems was to avoid it being a traditional kind of allotment. The objective was to make citizens perceive a new way of realizing an urban transformation. In particular, the most relevant issues concerned the reduction of noise pollution and air quality. The urban regeneration has been developed through the application of the Bio-architecture Regulation which was one of the first in Italy to be adopted by a public administration.
Main stakeholders and beneficiaries of the practice:
The technicians of the Municipality of Pesaro, The citizens of the neighborhood
The commissioning housing cooperatives have been involved in a virtuous process that has led to the sharing of objectives and the recognition of the concrete advantages of the sustainable approach in the design, implementation and management of settlements and building bodies. A decisive role is also played by the supervisory bodies, some of which have shown themselves, more than others, to be sensitive to the innovations introduced in the projects.

The objectives reached are:
Redevelopment of the urban area with greenery, through the creation of systems of bicycle and pedestrian paths that enhance the visual and perceptual of landscape respecting botanical-vegetation elements
Creation of a road system to provide a general reorganization of the transport system of the entire area
Creation of a building system that guarantees to all the lodgings an adequate solar radiation and a correct internal distribution to control the sun-air impact

Create a sustainable urban transformation that fit harmoniously in an already urbanized context and represent an urban reconnection of an existing space. The eco-sustainable project is characterized by the protection of the environment and the rational use of resources and potentialities of the site

Administrations have a crucial role in promoting eco-sustainable urban transformations because they undergo the whole process by outlining the fundamental lines of the transformation itself. In addition, the administration is able to give voice to citizens and their expectations. It is important to build an adequate regulatory framework that can allow the concrete implementation of interventions and it is essential for the success of the project to apply a participatory model that involves all stakeholders.In drawing up the project all the environmental elements that emerged from the analysis of the site were taken into consideration.
Design phases were carried out with a multidisciplinary approach in coherence with the aims of the project "SHE". It was the occasion to elaborate and experiment the new "regulation for the use of bio-architecture techniques", of the Municipality of Pesaro,that defines criteria to take advantage of the incentives for bio-architecture.
