Stadio Roma, the city planning councilor: ‘There will be one event a day, the fans will be with the means’ | A league
The Councilor for Urban Planning of Rome Maurizio Veloccia in the eight months he was the president of the XI Municipality and the person who more than any other had relations with Rome to discuss the last of the new stadium in the Pietralata area: “Rome presented the feasibility study after having taken that act in the other areas considered it was difficult the stadium – said al Corriere dello Sport – The Pietralata area immediately turned out to be a hypothesis to be explored. Ostiense, which was the favorite area, should have involved deep reclamation on the ground with costs exceeding one hundred million euros. This is why they immediately unleashed it and made us another proposal “.
THE AREA – “For more than 20 years, unfortunately, it has lost the role of directionality. Instead we think that the stadium will allow to regenerate that area, there is already a project. A hotel will be built on those lots and a large medical campus will be built in the other quadrant. There are four metro B stops involved, public transport also includes buses: the goal is to bring 50% of spectators to the stadium by public transport “.
ROAD MAP – “The services conference starts in October and should close in 90 days, then the classroom resolution that should declare public utility, then a check by various competing subjects and the final project that will lead to the decision-making services conference . Timing? Better to tackle one issue at a time before committing. “
THE IDEA – “There are no buildings and offices, but only a large park available to citizens; the stadium is at the service of the city, not just Rome. The stadium inside the city is a challenge that we want to win at all costs, it must be a place to live every day with events, cultural activities, conferences, concerts. We are laying the foundations for the city with the 300 million of the NRP. The dream? The Expo, the Science Museum and much more “.
