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 Rome, Padua, Turin and Lisboa:

General Land Use Plan for Rome. Strategic programme for the Tiber River

"The Tiber reclamation programme, begun in the new Roman Land Use Plan, is a long process, consisting of many diffused, strategic interventions which the Municipal Administration must gradually add to the urban redesign and transform the 'distance' which has evolved between river and city into a new resource for the dynamics of the city."

Restoration and development of the river network and interconnecting public open spaces

"The projects most frequently implemented deal with the reclamation and development of combinations of "walls/open-spaces/waterways" within the old city. Padua's system of open spaces is linked to the fortifications which surround the city, mostly from the sixteenth century and well preserved, as well as to the waterways, rivers and canals.
One of the objectives of the project was how to restore this system. It gave rise to the idea of the Walls and Waterways Park following the river network, the canals and the city walls."

Turin, City of Water

"Turin City of Water consists of a plan of action, which aims to achieve quality objectives in two different levels of intervention: urban and regional.
On the urban level, the main objective consists of the creation of a continuous system of river parks, for an overall development of about 75 km. The Torinese banks of the four rivers (Po, Sangone, Dora Riparia, Stura) are connected by a network of leisure and educational footpaths and cycle tracks and become the basis of a new urban system of open space."

Parque do Tejo e Trancào, Expo Lisbon 1998

"This project is the result of a 1994 international competition won by Hargreaves Associates Landscape Architecture Studio of San Francisco, part of the Sector Plan for the 1998 Expo. Lisbon
The park was one of the strategic interventions promoted by the municipality for urban and environmental restoration and the reorganisation of the metropolitan system. It covers an area of approximately ninety two hectares of previously industrial, neglected land and is situated between the confluence of two rivers which give it its name, the Tejo and the Trancão. The site is significantly transformed but the designer insisted on preserving links with the past using symbolic connotations in form and function."
