The aim of the research is to turn the spotlight on the GRAB, an annular infrastructure that develops for 44 km and that can be the triggering element of a process of profound transformation of Rome. This big ring for bicycles traverses a territory full of historical and environmental richness, partially in a state of emergency and neglect.
Rome is the city in Europe with the greatest quantity of green areas per capita, the largest archaeological park and the hugest amount of archaeological sprawl, but at the same time, one of the cities that mostly suffers from an unsustainable mobility approach, luck of quality of services in peripheral areas, the overwhelming impact of tourism.
During the first half of 2020, life in the cities was put on hold. Silent streets, empty skies, deserted parks, restaurants, bars, schools and production sites, as well as cinemas and museums were closed. We all experienced a new lifestyle suddenly imposed by the Covid 19 crisis. If by chance there were any doubts, the pandemic showed, with a sudden acceleration, how much the built environment affects our health. The density of population, the quality of public space, the transportation systems, the localization of proximity services, the presence of green areas, are all aspects that have an impact on our way of life and also on our health, a condition that means, first of all, the absence of illness, but according to a much broader concept established by the World Health Organization, it should refer to a state of psycho-physical well-being.
Our research proposes to study the potentials of the GRAB, that we have re-nominated ArchaeoGRAB, intended as a complex infrastructure that can generate new cultural meanings and encourage healthy lifestyles, through small interventions aimed at re-functionalizing the entire urban system. Nature, heritage, housing, services and mobility can in fact return to build a unified whole, involving different disciplines in the intervention strategy.
