Description
The Competition aims to acquire the best proposal for the urban planning, architectural, cultural and social retraining of the wide areas mentioned and not much exploited so far.
The goal is to build two aggregation poles able to revitalise the city of Buccinasco through the location of new architectural works with a strong urban connotation. These two zones, at present political and economic poles, need a new general configuration in order to make them recognizable in the undifferentiated suburbs’ landscape. In order to do this, proposals aimed to improve the present urban-planning situation through morphologic suggestions according to regional Rule 12/2005 (a rule that aims at “the overcoming of city zooning and at a territory transformation through urban plans and projects”) are welcomed.

This ban aims to a preliminary planning Competition. Planning must end with preliminary project, without any priority for winner to the commitment of following planning stages. Following agreements between Administration and area owners or acquisition of such areas, the crier reserves the possibility to issue a further ban for definitive and executive planning stages. Areas mentioned in such competition are property of Municipality or private owners, mentioned in PGT as “urban transformation”.
The total expense fixed by Banner for public works for the area “Romano Banco” is Euro 3.000.000 (assigned to realise a new square, not including public building that will be planned and valued separately). The total expense fixed by Banner for public works for the area “via Emilia/Chiesetta is Euro 3.000.000 (not including volume for private and commercial residential buildings that will be planned and not valued)
