One
of the RiverLinks project final goals is to promote the exchange of information
between European cities that developed in different geographical contexts.
For this reason, each Partner has carried out a research on European cities
that are interested in solving problems of the river-city relationship
in the urban scope.
The contribution from Florence is based on the study of cases concerned
with Lyon and Strasbourg:

"The
objective of the Lyon Confluence project is to create a special
space on a remarkable site: the confluence of the Rhone and the
Saone. The marina is intended to become a nautical focal point,
bringing the harbour environment into the urban fabric, but it must
be carefully planned because of the limited space available. One
of the great ambitions of the project is to restore a real bond
between the Confluence and the rest of the city. The marriage of
the identities of the two rivers concerned, the symbolism of the
confluence and of the mingling currents must inspire the urban forms
within the site."

"The
development of the Miribel-Jonage Nature Park contributed to the
rehabilitation of the site in various sequences of installations.
The artificial lakes were one of the features dealt with: the old
gravel pits were renaturalised for their biodiversity and for environment
education. The Grands Vernes was a very degraded peninsula, whose
position on the edge of the leisure zone offered great natural potential
to the public. The intermediate water levels are three lakes which
could be developed as transitional spaces, used for leisure and
ecology as well as hydraulics."

"The
territory of the Garden of the Two Banks includes old industrial
waste lands, the harbour zone and old army grounds next to the river.
So there was a true no-man's-land on this site between the town
centre and the border. Various projects are programmed to rehabilitate
the area in the short term:
- after the Place de l'Etoile: the City of Music and Dance, a project
still in progress; the Star passages, still in project form; municipal
files, in progress; a large library, still in project form; the
City of Sciences, in progress.
- other spaces are about to be developed: the harbour zone and the
Door to France, which is the subject of an urban study."
