STAZIONE PICCOLA – MODENA

Stazione Piccola property, a former railway station, is located within a 20-minute walk of the Modena historic center. The area has an overall surface of 54,000 m2 while the total size of covered areas is approximately 6,500 m2 and consists of 14 buildings (warehouses, workshops, a water tower, offices). The former electrical substation is a significant example of industrial architecture. Under the local General Urban Plan (PUG), the property is designated for ‘public city’ functions. The aim is to promote a mixed-use development, including social housing. The integration of green spaces is a key element because the area is partially crossed by a structural ecological corridor. The Municipality of Modena intends to finalize the urban planning through an international architectural competition to ensure the highest standards of design quality.
