Aurora Barriera, Turin
Turin, Italy
Aurora Barriera regeneration project aims to transform Corso Palermo and the surrounding Aurora and Barriera di Milano neighborhoods into a greener, more livable, and accessible area, regenerating disused spaces and closed premises.
The new masterplan for Corso Palermo proposes a transformation of the three kilometres between Aurora and Barriera di Milano, which will reconnect the axis and return the street to the people who live and move along it every day.
The masterplan emerged from a participatory process with residents, who provided ideas and suggestions that were partially incorporated into the project.
The masterplan was entrusted to Infra.To, who in turn commissioned a multidisciplinary team, comprising the architectural studio CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati, the cooperative Liberitutti for the community engagement, West8 for the landscape design and MIC-HUB for the mobility strategies.

This included analysing the existing mobility situation and proposing measures to encourage walking and cycling, as well as optimising the use of public spaces in line with the project’s urban regeneration goals.Using big data and analysing GPS signals, MIC-HUB helped identify patterns in residents and visitors density within the area.
