The motion has been approved: the Cagliari City Council says yes to the redevelopment of Piazza Medaglia miracolosa. The objective, for which concrete actions are awaited, is to transform it "into a model of social integration, sustainability and accessibility".

Among the main points of the measure adopted by Palazzo Bacaredda for a now degraded area, the following stand out: extraordinary maintenance of greenery and public lighting, with the aim of improving the decorum and safety of the space during all hours of the day; installation of games, benches and fountains to encourage families and residents to frequent the square, making it more liveable and welcoming; active involvement of residents to ensure the protection and care of the square, "through the promotion of virtuous behavior and collaboration with neighborhood committees"; protection of the most vulnerable groups, such as the elderly or people with difficulties related to waste management, through specific interventions and operational solutions.

The motion also provides for the implementation of a temporary video surveillance system, "aimed at combating the phenomenon of waste abandonment. The system will be activated in the most sensitive areas in collaboration with the Local Police's Soil Hygiene Unit."

Of particular importance is the project "for the involvement of the local community in the Energy Community Piazza Medaglia Miracolosa, through an information campaign that aims to make it a model that can be replicated in other city districts".

The motion then proposes the redevelopment of the Public Residential Building (Erp) housing within the municipal planning of the “Erp Maintenance Plan”, the restoration of the pavement and sidewalks, the improvement of the network of underground services, with particular attention to wells and drains, the reorganization of the accesses to the nursery school, ensuring a safe and functional main entrance through the modification of the railing and the installation of a gate.

A further objective «is the redesign of the square, eliminating physical barriers such as railings and differences in level to create a continuous and inclusive space, discouraging phenomena of degradation».

On the cultural and social front, the motion provides for entertainment initiatives "such as weekly or monthly markets and ongoing cultural activities, including artistic and entertainment events. In particular, to recognize a reward for the organizers , who choose to use peripheral squares, such as Piazza Medaglia Miracolosa, for their projects funded by the Municipality".

The municipal administration of Cagliari, we read in a note, "aims to make Piazza Medaglia Miracolosa an example of urban rebirth to be replicated in other neighborhoods of the city."
