The Chiaravalle District, thanks to its isolation, limited development, agricultural
nature, many green areas, and the Vettabia Park, does not require significant mitigation issues but lacks adequate and equipped social spaces. The few existing paths are
not shaded and do not provide any kind of additional service. Due to the proximity
to the ancient Abbey and the agricultural land, the Chiaravalle hamlet is not affected
by expansion projects. The north part of district, instead, is part of the ATU Porto di
Mare’s redevelopment project.
In the perception of its inhabitants, the district suffers from isolation with respect
to other parts of the city, laying beyond the railway and lacking urban connection to
the road network and public transport system.
The Rogoredo station (suburban railway, high-speed railway line, and underground yellow line) although relatively close is separated by the presence of the
expressway that makes the access to the station difficult, limited to a one-lane road.
The area has a tourism potential due to the presence of the historical Chiaravalle
Abbey and the potential connection to cycling trails and paths leading to the countryside and the Abbeys of the territory (Valle dei Monaci).
Between the village and the Abbey is the abandoned Rogoredo-Poasco railroad
track. The project demonstrates the potential of this infrastructure that has been
thus far considered as a barrier. At present, the first effect of its dismantling is the
elimination of the crossing between the Abbey and the hamlet, which re-establishes
better connections and favors the tourism relaunch of the site (Fig. 1).
