The project of ‘Città dell’Aerospazio’ of Torino, situated in the industrial area of the ex Alenia Aeronautica, is the result of a collaboration between public and private investors. 50% of the investments will be used for public works of general interest. As part of a wider redevelopment project, Città dell’Aerospazio aims at linking technological, research and higher education development needs with the substantial urban regeneration of abandoned industrial areas according to building criteria based on smart design, reduction in emissions and energy independence.
The first core of the project regards Politecnico di Torino and envisages the consolidation and reuse of hall 37 for the creation of a 12,800-sqm area dedicated to research and technological transfer laboratories in collaboration with enterprises, besides a new 3,500-sqm building used for education and services, for an investment of 42 million euros.
