As a placemaking activity of A Visionary Place, City Space Architecture designed and implemented a parklet in front of its operational headquarters in the Porto-Saragozza neighbourhood. A parklet is a public space, for non-profit purposes and open to all, it can be used for free for events and initiatives for the neighbourhood.

As a a new community landmark, the parklet can host cultural events and promote community engagement while creating cross-disciplinary learning spaces, engaging an intergenerational audience and different social groups, with special attention to the elderly and young people.  

 

This parklet is the first-ever parklet built in the city of Bologna.

The opening took place on October 4,2020, on the occasion of the feast of St. Petronius, the city's patron saint.
