The area of the Fontivegge station, certainly among the most problematic in the Umbrian capital, has been the subject of an extraordinary commitment of the city administration in terms of human and financial resources, at the center of the Peripheries Plan and Urban Agenda funds ( based on ERDF and ESF funds). The richness of the interventions and the multiplicity of actors involved (in addition to the public administration: construction companies, professionals, universities, third sector subjects; state railways …) give authorization to outline a real “Fontivegge” laboratory, whose first outcomes are beginning to be visible.
The possibility offered by the “Periphery Plan” to provide resources for “studies and research” has allowed the city administration to activate a series of thematic investigations, useful to complete the regeneration program. In addition to investigations in the economic field to encourage the return of quality economic and professional activities, research is being conducted by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of the University of Perugia into the theme of perception and urban orientation, which will find concrete application in the context of the financed projects. In connection with this study activity, a Plan for the Elimination of Architectural Barriers is being drafted, which will serve to make the railway station and key neighborhoods accessible to everyone over time according to the dictates of Universal Design.
