ARCHAEOGRAB. Green network for sustainable mobility and public space projects for the enhancement of archaeological and natural heritage in the suburbs of the city of Rome

The aim of the research is to turn the spotlight on the GRAB, an annular infrastructure that extends for 44 km and can be the trigger for a process of profound transformation in Rome. This large bicycle ring crosses a territory full of historical and environmental riches, partly in a state of emergency and neglect. Rome is the city in Europe with the largest amount of green areas per capita but at the same time, one of the cities that suffers most from unsustainable mobility, the lack of quality of services in peripheral areas, and the overwhelming impact of tourism. .
The research studies the potential of GRAB, a complex infrastructure that can generate new cultural meanings and encourage healthy lifestyles, with small interventions aimed at re-functionalizing the entire urban system.
