GREEN
AREAS
1. Parco Bassetti
In the historic center of the city there are some important public parks whose conservation is crucial, such as
Bassetti Park and Via Trombini Park. They play a significant role in the public life of the city, used by different
categories of users, thanks to the many facilities within
them, which, however, should be often better preserved. Despite their importance, they are presented as
individual episodes within the urban fabric, are not in
fact included in a bigger system that links them to other
green spaces in the city.

8. Via Roma
6. Crenna Hill
Within the latest urban fabric of Gallarate, often fragmented and uneven are many urban voids, remnant of an
agricultural past or arising from the demolition of abandoned industrial buildings, generally due to the uneven
growth of the city. The logic of intervention for these areas aims to create a system of green that colleagues, including through the use of bike paths and tree-lined streets, the many new green spaces now developed without
an overview. This is especially true for areas straddling Crennas hill, the starting point for the creation of a green
corridor linking ecological agricultural areas still present and the historical center.
These ancient tree-lined avenues are important examples to preserve and take into consideration for the creation of new roads, inserted within the larger project to
create a green belt. It would also be useful to increase
the presence of bicycle paths along important street
as Viale dei Tigli, that is now a buolevard perfectly
integrated into the dynamics of the contemporary city,
or as along Viale Don Piloni, still now in an agricultural
context.

AGRICULTURAL LANDSCAPE
TO REDISGN
These examples show that there is often the presence, within an agriculture and natural protected
area, of many manufactured high-impact landscaping, such as factories or industrial buildings,
whose relation with the surrounding should be improved for example thanks to the creation of line
threes.
Furthermore, the organization within the lot of the
many farms that are located in the area is often
chaotic and random and lumberyards or various
materials are poorly organized and exploited and
often create a greater fragmentation of the fabric.
As a part of the appearance tourist exploitation
these farms must be reorganized and think about
the possible creation of new buildings for the organized storage of products well harmonized in
the context. Moreover should be planned the recovering of the diversity of agricultural production
once present in the city.

DETERIORATED BUILDINGS
We reported some examples of blighted buildings with the intention to place them in a logic of
conservation of the buildings which today reported problems both structural and maintenance of
the facade. In this way we try to improve their
value within the urban fabric, especially because
often these buildings occupy an important role in
the system of urban fronts.

A. T. U.
Bringing the A.T.U. (areas of urban transformation) we became aware of such lots the Gallarate P.G.T. had already taken into account and
considered as areas to be reorganized in order
to revitalization within the urban fabric.
RAILWAY CROSSINGS
The analysis of railway crossings is important to understand how the city, divided entirely by the main
railway line, behaves to bridge this split. We intervened by inserting a new crossing on Viale Milano, to
improve ties with neighboring districts Sciar.
