RAVENNA – DARSENA DI CITTA’

The Ex Consorzio Agrario, Ex CMC and Ex Fiorentina properties are located in an area historically called Darsena di Città (city dock - www.darsenaravenna.it) which includes the Candiano Canal, the old port district. The area is part of an important plan of urban regeneration and has many strengths such as the panoramic view of the Candiano canal and the historic city, the position overlooking both the water and the city, proximity to the railway station and the city centre through the pedestrian connection along the quay, the connection through the public transport service network, the proximity to some important road routes. The proposal for the redevelopment of the area was born with the aim of creating a new district with high urban and environmental quality characterized by an extensive urban park, an industrial archaeology building redeveloped for commercial use, and the creation of places with multipurpose cultural value. The Ex Consorzio Agrario is a former industrial area already reclaimed. In the Ex CMC area, owned by Conad, most of the buildings will be demolished to make way for new settlements, except an industrial archaeology uilding that will be safeguarded. The "Ex Fiorentina" area – owned by Fiorentina Srl and Esso - includes three buildings (of which two are safeguarded), two hangars and one high drying room.
