La riqualificazione e la riconfigurazione del sito ha comportato la ripavimentazione, la creazione di un belvedere con vista mare, e una lunga “seduta”.

L’obiettivo è stato quello di rafforzare il legame tra la città e il mare, sono stati realizzati una serie di servizi rivolti a cittadini e turisti, con la creazione di posti di lavoro a sostegno dell’economia locale.

00:00Palermo, the sea, Panormus, the city of Porto, a city that for millennia owes all this to the sea that bathes it, to the peoples that for millennia characterized its very existence, to the port that made it the neurological center of the Mediterranean and of the civilizations that are now connected.
00:21It is a further moment of synergy and collaboration between the authority of the port system and the city, which is realized and concretized through the re-qualification of this piece of the walk to the sea, but also with the signing of an agreement that provides further moments of collaboration, sharing and co-financing of the initiatives regarding a new project
00:50of ideas, a competition of ideas for the sea park of Foro Italico, but also for the completion of the waterfront on the side of Via Crispi, where with municipal funds and with funds of the authority of the port system, the entire prospectus that regulates the interface between the port and the city will be completed.
01:18The walk from Santerrano to Foro Italico has been completed, the creation of a welcome and a long sit down.
01:49If this civic education passes, if this way of communicating with the administration passes, I think we will make great steps forward.
02:03A waterfront that connects, as in the past, citizens and tourists to that sea for decades denied.
02:09We will soon carry out a walk that connects the city-port interface with the city.
02:14The port authority, in return, will give us a hand to ban a large design competition and probably also to carry out some initiatives, some activities in the municipal area.
02:25It is time to break down any barrier, not only an institutional barrier, which I must say has never existed, especially with President Monti, but also no physical barrier.
02:35The re-qualification of the long sea also includes the villa at sea, lighted, with the creation of two aircraft equipped for children and fitness.
02:44The coast is an element of interface, it is of the municipality and it is of the port authority, but for the citizens it is important that it is open.
02:53They can walk, go to the sea, go to the historic center, sit down, play, without having to ask every time who that portion of the city is, because it is everyone's.
