Thinking of Torino today means seeing the energy of change, the will and capacity to respond to the challenges
that our area has faced in recent times.
Starting from the need to rethink and move beyond the industrial identity of the last century, Torino has shown
how it can develop a wide-ranging and long-term vision to define a modern and dynamic city, with a high quality
of life and competitive on the national and international scene.
The first step was to start from the recovery and conversion to new functions of vast, now disused industrial areas:
a legacy of 2.5 million square metres re-designed for the new needs of a city in which the service sector now counts
more than manufacturing and that is increasingly becoming a centre for research, ICT and innovation.
There are also new spaces to strengthen cultural facilities, university accommodation and high quality housing.
In addition, work continues on major infrastructure projects to improve access to the city and internal mobility,
such as putting underground the rail tracks that cut the city in half from north to south, building above them a
major boulevard crossing the city, or the construction of the metro, the relaunch of the airport and the construction
of the high capacity/high speed railway that will put Torino at the centre of Europe’s east-west line.
The city will also benefit from the great tangible legacy (the infrastructures) and will gain in terms of international
promotion of the Winter Olympics. The Games have already given extraordinary impetus to the
process of urban transformation and are producing important, positive spin-off effects for the tourism and
hospitality sectors.
We have been working for some time to define scenarios and policies that can guarantee the best possible
management and enhancement of this legacy.
Torino is therefore a city in evolution that is taking action to create new bases of development starting from a
vision shared with the local community and summarised in the Strategic Plan, now in its second edition. The new
plan moves forward from the results of the first plan and takes on the challenges ahead, identifying the sectors on
which to focus and the action to be taken – necessarily from the perspective of the metropolitan area – in building
a future of growth.
There are therefore many reasons to look at Torino with interest: never as now is the city ready to measure itself
with the challenges of modernisation and to grasp and communicate all the opportunities that these major
processes of change are releasing.

The city of Torino and its metropolitan
area are located in Italy’s economic
heartland, the north west, with an
important role in connections both
nationally and to the major European
cities.
One of the priority objectives of the
strategic development plan for the
metropolitan area of Torino is represented
by the investments planned and already
being made for the upgrading of the
access system to the city and international
connections. Over the next 10 years more
than € 30 billion investments have already
been planned and started, to improve the
region’s infrastructures: road network,
airports, rails, intermodal and logistics
platforms, tunnels.
A project for Europe’s future
Torino is reinforcing its position, thanks
to one of Europe’s most important
infrastructure works: the construction of
the Italian section of Corridor 5, a key link
between Eastern and Western Europe,
from Kiev to Lisboa.
The project includes the construction of
two high capacity and high speed rail lines
(Torino-Milano and Torino-Lyon),
positioning the city even more strongly as
the central node along the west-east route,
with rapid links in both directions, and
thus as the nerve centre of land transport
between Italy and Europe. The transalpine
line between Lyon and Torino will carry 50
million tonnes of goods and 7 million
passengers every year.
• Torino-Milano line (125 km) will make it
possible to double rail service. Journey times
will be cut to 45 minutes compared to the
present 105. Completion of the Torino-Novara
stretch and the Torino-Malpensa link is set for
2007, while the whole line is expected to be
open in 2009.
• Torino-Lyon is a transalpine line (254 km, 52 of
which in tunnels). This cross-frontier project
will integrate the economic space between Lyon
Rhône-Alpes, Torino and Piedmont Region.
The Torino-Lyon transalpine railway project is a
vital link in the rail line connecting Eastern and
Western Europe.
Upon completion, Lyon and Torino will be only
105 minutes apart. The goal is to be fully
operational in 2018.
ROAD, SEA
AND AIR LINES
• A network of around
1,000 km of
motorways
and 2,000 km of
railways connects the
region with main
Italian and European
cities.
• Mediterranean ports
and an integrated
logistics system allow
fast and efficient
movement of goods
and people along the
main national and
international lines.
• The international
airport of Torino
Caselle, only 20
minutes from the city
centre, provides daily
links with the main
Italian and European
cities.
Future development
of the airport focuses
on the strengthening
of existing national
and international
links, and the opening
of new passenger and
cargo routes.
Particularly
important in this
sense are the links
with the main
intercontinental
hubs (London,
Frankfurt, Paris,
Roma).
Further improvement
is also planned for the
Torino Malpensa
road and rail
system in order to
further reduce the
travel times.
Malpensa, 100 km
from Torino, is
the most important
intercontinental
airport in southern
Europe.

Italia, Milano-Torino. Residential: average prices 2000-2010
THE RIGHT PLACE TO INVEST
Torino is one of the most interesting real estate markets for the second half of this decade.
This is highlighted by the comparison of trends in the average Italian property prices,
conducted by Scenari Immobiliari1.
The forecasts made by Scenari Immobiliari are based on the analysis of both the general
trends in the property market in Milan and other Italian cities and on the important changes
in Torino’s market structure and economy:
• completion of the new railway to Milan. This will enable economic integration and easier
inter-city mobility;
• the strong growth of financial, insurance and IT services;
• development of the university and research centres in the city, building on its industrial
tradition. This means becoming a magnet for young people from the whole of Italy and
abroad, with the subsequent raising of the level of housing and services demanded.
The cities in the surroundings of Torino saw
double figure growth both in the volumes
exchanged and in turnover.

In Torino a good recovery in average prices is expected, driven by the offer of new properties
and a rise in demand in the coming years.
This situation for housing also triggers a positive impact on the non-residential segment,
with the progressive entry of Italian and international property investors in the city’s services
and commercial real estate market and in industrial premises in the rest of the province.

TORINO, BUILDING THE FUTURE
14
Torino is engaged in a process of radical urban renovation and improvement whose roots lie in the need to redefine
the prospects and identity of an industrial city in the era of post-Fordism and globalisation.
TORINO
INTERNAZIONALE
TORINO’S STRATEGIC PLAN
The urban scene is changing rapidly and entire sections of the city are being reconstructed at great speed around
the new central axis of the Backbone Boulevard and the Crossrail line: the key infrastructure for new urban
accessibility and mobility founded on the Metropolitan Rail Service as outlined in the Regional Transport Plan.
Work is continuing to redefine the functions but also the shape, morphology and architecture of places and the
built environment.
Torino was the first
city in Italy to adopt a
Strategic plan (2000 2011) - that involves
institutions, political
representatives, the
economic world and
society as a whole in a
project to redefine the
city’s identity.
In view of the Olympics, the first significant results of this intense activity through the years at the turn of the
century are being seen. Many of the programmes and projects will demand commitments for at least the next five
years, but a clear perception of the future is already here after the phase of endless building sites. The objects and
environments that will define the identity of the contemporary city are taking shape.
Architectural and urban quality needs to be ensured while at the same time providing conditions of general
environmental sustainability, a liveable community, social integration and security, as the best guarantee that the
city functions well. This is the role of the Urban Centre, established in 2001, first for the city and as of 2005 for the
metropolitan area. Its institutional mission is to make the public aware of the change underway and to foster
discussion and encounter between the cultures and actors involved in the construction of the city.
This is also the framework of the mission of Torino Internazionale and ITP Invest in Turin and Piedmont to
promote the city as a place of joint operational support, social cohesion and location opportunities.
2004-2015 TOWARDS
A NEW PLAN
Four years after the
Plan was initiated,
new priorities are
emerging that need to
be read in the
perspective of the
work that has been
carried out and
organized into a wideranging project.
These priorities are
the catalysts of the
debate which the
consolidated method,
with its strategic,
integrated and
concerted plan, must
interpret through its
personal vision:
sustainable
development, social
cohesion, governance
and valorization of the
network, research into
opportunities for
future generations,
the value of culture
and knowledge, the
ability to
communicate change.
Supply has increased, attracting growing shares of the housing and tertiary/industrial demand. But above all there
has been an increase in the confidence of the trade and investors in the reality of the prospects of change and
modernisation of the city’s structure that the Master Plan had outlined, but in which trust in its actual
implementation was very low. The re-activation of the market has made it possible to attract substantial resources
with which to finance new or upgrading of buildings and infrastructures, with at the same time a substantial
increase in the areas for services and public gardens.
In brief, a virtuous circle has been set in motion in the system, made up of upgrading of the infrastructural
network and services as an essential condition for supporting development by attracting investments and brains.
Palaisozaki and Olympic Stadium

Faced with a relatively negative economic situation, the contribution of the construction industry, above all in
infrastructures, has been considerable and has played a significant anti-cyclical role in creating jobs and wealth.

MAIN DRIVERS OF CITY CHANGE
THE CROSSRAIL SYSTEM, THE BACKBONE BOULEVARD AND
THE CENTRAL BACKBONE PROJECT
The Crossrail system is one of the fundamental
drivers of the changes underway in Torino. In the
framework of the mobility plan, based on the
development of interlinked and integrated
transport systems, the Crossrail is a crucial
infrastructure, together with the new Metro line.
The project plans to put underground 15
kilometres of tracks that cut the city in two from
north to south. At the same time, tracks will be
doubled and the urban fabric re-joined. It will thus
be possible to cross the city from north to south
along a metropolitan rail system with six city
stations that will also be used by national and
international trains.
The city’s future main railway station will become
Porta Susa, which will see the passage of trains
on the high-speed trains on the Milan-Torino-Lyon
line in addition to all national trains and, thanks
to the presence of a Metro stop in the new
station, the system will be perfectly integrated.
This work will also ensure a considerable
improvement in access to the city from all the
towns of the metropolitan area (Greater Torino).
Above the underground crossrail network, the
Backbone Boulevard provides a tree-lined avenue
with vast green areas, bicycle paths, car parks,
and other transportation facilities that streamline
traffic in the city.
The Backbone Boulevard is surrounded by one of
the city’s most important development and
transformation projects: the Central Backbone.
The project is divided into four key areas
denominated Backbones 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Each of these areas is organised around one of
the stations of the Crossrail system. They have
different vocations and offer a linear series of new
central points.
The new facilities therefore provide significant
benefits for local economic development as well
as for the image of the city .
THE NEW METRO LINE
Line 1 of the underground radically changes how
people move in the city. 28 kilometres of
tunnels and 15 stations; quick and efficient
interchanges between railway connections
and public transportation.
• From the town of Collegno to Porta Nuova
railway station in 15 minutes;
• from Porta Nuova to Lingotto in 7 minutes;
• a train every two minutes during rush hour.

Between the river Po and Piazza d’Armi: an area that is already a symbol of the new Torino
The journey starts at Lingotto, the building
restructured by Renzo Piano that today
houses fair and exhibition centres, hotels,
shopping centres, museum spaces and
university faculties, a true multifunctional
centre buzzing with life at all times of day.
A few yards from Lingotto, the historic
building of the former “Pastificio Italiano”
has been transformed into an internationalstandard hotel and the adjacent former
“Carpano” factory is to become a centre of
excellence for wine and food that will
strengthen the image of Torino as the Capital
of Taste with its tradition in the field that has
made it famous throughout the world.
The area will be well served by Line 1 of the
underground (completion of works is
planned for 2009) and the pedestrian
walkway over the railway will provide a direct
link with the Lingotto rail station, which will
become an important strategic centre for
transport in the city.
The journey continues into the heart of the
Olympic District: the Olympic Village created
in the former Mercati Generali area (former
wholesale market).
We then head westwards, to the area of the
old Municipal Stadium (Stadio Comunale),
remodelled to host the opening and closing
ceremonies of the XX Olympic Winter
Games. Alongside it, the new Olympic sports
centre for ice hockey. Palaisozaki is a
multifunctional facility that can be
transformed into a space for congresses,
concerts and other events.
Opposite the two buildings, the park of
Piazza d’Armi is being reorganised: a
splendid setting for official ceremonies and
leisure activities.
The new Ice Rink (Palaghiaccio), designed
for figure and short-track skating training
during the Games, will become the city's ice
sports centre. Going towards the river, we
find the Palavela, the reinforced concrete
building built in 1961 for the Centenary of the
Unification of Italy, restructured to host the
figure and short-track skating competitions.
From here, along the banks of the Po, we
reach the pavilions of the ITC-ILO campus
restructured and extended up to 300 rooms
to host one of the media villages during the
Games.

Area to develop
The Olympic Village, constructed to host
2,500 competitors during the XX Olympic
Winter Games in 2006, is part of a complex
project of transformation and re-use of a vast
area of about 170,000 sq.m., parallel to the
Lingotto rail tracks and in part occupied by
the disused buildings of the former Mercati
Generali (wholesale market).
The Olympic Village covers 65,000 sq.m. of
gross floor area, in addition to the structures
of the old market; it will then be converted in
part into social housing, in part into public
offices and university halls of residence. The
use of the central zone, of high architectural
value and characterised by the arches of the
former market, is currently being assessed.
In the same area, a further 47,000 sq.m. of
gross floor area are available.
The transformation and upgrading of
Torino’s various trunk roads has helped to
place the Olympic Village in a central
position in the city.
This area will also be well connected with the
underground and integrated with the
Lingotto multifunctional centre.

The City of Taste and 5-star accommodation
Lingotto, twenty years on. Two decades after
the closure of the factory that Le Corbusier
defined as “one of the most impressive
spectacles offered by industry”, the FIAT
factory (a total of 300,000 sq.m.) designed
in the 1920’s by the engineer Matté Trucco,
has been completely re-interpreted.
Designed by Renzo Piano, the change has
followed the metamorphosis of the city itself.
The first stage was in 1992 with the opening
of the Fair Centre, followed in 1994 by the
Conference Centre and the multifunctional
Auditorium (seating for 2,090).
The Oval, the facility adjacent to Lingotto
built for the 2006 Olympic Winter Games,
has been designed to be used as an
expansion of the Lingotto conference centre.
With this addition, the centre will have a
total capacity for 9,000 guests.
The multifunctional Lingotto centre hosts the
8 Gallery shopping centre of over 20,000
sq.m. (with a 4,000 sq.m. car park) and the
Pathé multiplex.
But Lingotto is also a place of business,
study, culture and accommodation.
The business centre (one of the biggest in
Torino) opened some time ago and has been
joined by the automotive engineering faculty of
the Politecnico di Torino, the largest Italian
Dental School, a hall of residence for foreign
students and the Giovanni and Marella Agnelli
Foundation art gallery.
Two new hotels have been created at
Lingotto to provide further hospitality to
support the Lingotto fair and conference
centre: Le Meridien and Art&Tech, for a total
of 360 rooms.
The former Fiat Avio area, adjacent to the
Lingotto complex, is a closed large industrial
plant. It spreads out over a total area of
about 187,000 sq.m. and is located
immediately south of the Lingotto complex,
in a zone of the city subject to major urban
transformations and improvement of old,
now disused, buildings.
The owner of this area is the Piedmont
Region.
In the vicinity of Lingotto the
transformation is underway of a former
industrial area which, once completed, will
provide the zone with important new
functions. Already today, this area
represents a new urban centre.
The former Pastificio Italiano building has
already been converted into a 5-star hotel
(AC10 Torino).
Work is underway to create the City of Taste
in the premises of the former Carpano plant.

created for the events to celebrate the
Centenary of the Unification of Italy in Torino
in 1961.
Some of these buildings have been
completely restructured to host the events of
the XX Olympic Winter Games.
The Palavela has been completely renovated,

exhibitions, conferences and fairs,
entertainment including cinemas and
theatres, indoor and outdoor sports facilities
and leisure facilities.

SOUTHERN SECTOR - INDUSTRIAL INNOVATION DISTRICT
Mirafiori: automotive, design and sustainable mobility
The industrialisation of the southern
area of the city dates back to the 1950’s
with the construction of the FIAT
Mirafiori factories and numerous other
plants of supplier companies. After a
period of crisis that entailed the closure
of many plants, it has seen in recent
years new re-industrialisation and urban
replanning.
Travelling through the area from south
to the south-west, among the disused
sites of the former Carello factories,
cutting edge multi-functional complexes
have been created to host innovative ICT
companies, one of the driving sectors in
Torino.
A small but significant part of the FIAT
Mirafiori area was bought recently by the
City of Torino, Province of Torino,
Piedmont Region. In the framework of a
LE TORRI BUSINESS CENTRE

project to strengthen the automotive
cluster, an auto/mobility research and
development centre will be created,
bringing together the Politecnico design
activities, currently scattered across the
city, with the objective of increasing
interaction between the research and
business worlds.
Continuing further, along Corso Tazzoli,
behind the FIAT plants, a number of
important business centres are currently
being developed. They will significantly
increase the availability of quality spaces
for light industry and services.
This area, already well-served by road
access, will benefit from the upgrading
and widening the road which connects
the city to the logistics area of
Orbassano-Grugliasco with the S.I.TO.1
and C.A.A.T.2 facilities.

Along the Backbone Boulevard, from the doubling of the Politecnico to the new Porta Susa railway station
The journey runs through the area destined to
become a new science, and cultural zone for
Torino and at the same time a place for higher
education, research and business.
The starting point is the Backbone 1 area,
where housing and a shopping centre are
being built looking out onto a large new
square, designed on the basis of the guidelines
provided by the architect Jean Nouvel.
Following the new “Backbone Boulevard”, we
reach the area once home to the Nebiolo and
Westinghouse industrial plants, destined to
house new cultural and research activities
connected to the nearby Politecnico. Facing
this, the complex of the former railway repair
yards (OGR), characterised by buildings of
great architectural value, are being converted
to create a research, cultural and education
centre.
Close by, the Politecnico is doubling its area:
highly prized old factories have been conserved
and restructured, while new buildings host
classrooms, research centres and the first
Corporate Research Campus in Italy.
Continuing northwards along the Backbone
Boulevard, we then reach the new railway
station of Porta Susa: over 15,000 square
metres underground for passenger services
and, above ground, a glass-fronted gallery with
shops and restaurants.

The heart of innovation in the new post-industrial park
Along the river Dora: the area, once home to
major industrial plants like the Michelin
factory or the Fiat steelworks, is changing and
re-inventing its identity more than any other
zone of the city.
The river Dora, which was covered for
decades by old factories, will flow again
between new buildings and be a strong sign
of the new Dora Park of 450,000 sq.m., the
binding fabric for the numerous projects.
The overall programme involves an area of
1,000,000 sq.m. and envisages a range of
works for a total of 585,542 sq.m. of gross
floor area, at an advanced stage of
completion, with housing, commercial,
business, service facilities and two units to
host part of the journalists for the 2006
Winter Olympics (MediaVillages).
The transformation of this area also opens up
new opportunities for business, design,
research and the environment.
This has already happened in the Environment
Park, 30,000 sq.m. of laboratories and
companies surrounded by greenery, all
involved in the high-tech and environmental
development sectors. And this is what is
happening in the former Savigliano plant,
completely transformed to house a high-tech
centre for companies in innovative sectors
and retail spaces.
In the area of the Fiat steelworks, the Santo
Volto church, designed by Mario Botta, with
its bell-tower constructed in the old chimney,
is one of the hallmarks of the profound
transformation of this part of the city.

THE IDEAL LOCATION FOR INNOVATIVE ACTIVITIES
The Backbone 3 area is today an outstanding example of how the city’s former industrial
sites are being transformed into areas dedicated to new technologies, mainly in the ecotechnology and information and communication technology sectors.
Due to a series of positive circumstances that have come together in the north west of the
city, and especially in the framework of Backbone 3, it is an area particularly attractive for
the location of small and medium sized companies active in the field of information and
communication technology, business support and advanced shared services.
This important centre, today characterised by the presence of the Environment Park and the
proximity to the Virtual Reality and Multi Media Park, will be strengthened by the
completion of the conversion of the former Officine Savigliano into an ultra-modern service
centre designed to the most stringent quality standards.

Over 1,500 car parking spaces(33,500 sq.m).
• First lot
In the first lot a new urban complex has
been realised to host journalists during the
Games integrated with the Dora Park, with
a direct view over the river. The centre of
the complex, a public pedestrian square, is
surrounded by a variety of urban functions.
At the north-east corner the new housing
and hotel are the main access point to the
new district.
This project concerns the construction of two
buildings to host new advanced industries with
low environmental impact, and the provision of
new roads to the west of the development.
The Vitalipark complex offers two parallel,
rectangular buildings and a central space, the
“galleria”, open at the ends and with a steel
and transparent polycarbon covering.
Both buildings have four floors above
ground and underground floor as a 90 space car park. 32 eco-compatible units are
planned of 400 to 550 sq.m. each.
Priority will be given to business activities on
the ground and first floors, while the second
and third floors will be devoted to services.
• Second lot (completion area)
The second lot, to complete the project,
envisages the creation of 113,000 sq.m. for
housing, the tertiary sector and retail
activities.

HISTORIC CENTRE
An unrivalled architectural heritage
Dora
The historic centre of Torino has seen
numerous improvement projects in recent
years to transform the city, above all
upgrading a number of squares: Piazza
Castello, San Carlo, San Giovanni, Vittorio
Veneto, Bodoni and Valdo Fusi.Considerable
work on urban furnishing and the
restructuring of buildings have contributed in
recent years to giving new sparkle and vitality
to a city that boasts an unrivalled
architectural heritage. One particularly
significant case of urban regeneration
concerns the so-called “quadrilatero
romano”, the old Roman heart of the city,
turning it into an area of high-quality housing
and bars, restaurants and night clubs, thus
becoming one of the city's liveliest zones.In
recent years, the area of Porta Palazzo has
also seen work to improve the building and
socio-economic fabric co-ordinated under
the title The Gate (pilot project financed by
the European Union). These include the
creation of a new commercial pavilion

The City of Torino is also drawing up a
programme of actions to create a cinema
district, the “Cineborgo”, in the area
around the Mole Antonelliana, the home
to the National Cinema Museum. The area
will offer the public cinemas, events,
architectural installations and commercial
services related to film.
Thanks to the new role that Torino is taking
on as a tourist city and the impetus of the
2006 Winter Olympics, major work has been
completed in the historic centre to create
new hotels.
By 2007, work will be completed to
improve Porta Nuova railway station, the
city’s nerve centre. In the overall plan of
reorganisation of the city’s rail transport,
scenarios are beginning to emerge for the
future transformation and upgrading of the
station areas and the rail yards that involve
an immense area strategic for the future of
the city.

Unique in Italy and one of the most
important in the world, the National Cinema
Museum is hosted in the Mole Antonelliana
of Torino, the city's symbol. Inaugurated in
July 2000, more than two million visitors
have come through its doors. The attractive
display design by the Swiss architect
François Confino occupies an area of 3,200
sq.m. with displays on six floors that
illustrate the history of cinema, drawing on a
vast heritage of museum collections.
The collections continue to grow with new
acquisitions. The National Cinema Museum
is part of a much larger and more ambitious
project that involves intellectuals,
competencies, initiatives and financial
resources in an all-embracing approach that
combines culture, industrial production and
technological innovation.
The CineBorgo is a vast-ranging project,
covering not only culture but also town
planning, to transform the district around
the Mole Antonelliana into something unique
in Europe, a vast area dedicated to cinema,
to enhance and complete the cultural
mission of the National Cinema Museum.
Cinema is the driver of the Torino and the
“Cineborgo” project, which in addition to
being the demonstration of this joins the
Virtual Reality and Multimedia Park and the
nascent Cineporto.
The “Cineborgo” project will involve the
DAMS (Art, Music and Entertainment and
Sciences of Communication degree courses),
the Museum of Radio and Television, the
production centre of the RAI Auditorium,
Teatro Regio and Teatro Gobetti, in addition
to the cinemas on and around Via Po.
The heart of the district will be the Mole
Antonelliana and the City of Torino has
begun negotiations with the main
businesses and institutions in the area,
including RAI (National broadcasting
company), the university, Teatro Regio,
Cavallerizza (State property agency) and
local retailers, to define a joint development
and improvement programme.

total of 30,000 sq.m., such as a museum and
exhibition complex in the stately wings on the
ground floor retail and craft activities on the
ground floors and basements of the buildings,
offices, studios and housing on the upper
floors. The building named “Maneggio
Chiablese” will be renovated for use by the
Università di Torino. Analyses of the possible
configurations of the complex have highlighted
the benefits of locating a hotel in the part with
the prestigious frontage overlooking the Royal
Gardens. The hotel could occupy a maximum
of 10,000 sq.m. gloss floor area. The courtyards
and spaces inside the complex will be a
pedestrian area, with underground car parking.

Cavallerizza Reale Complex
The complex of the Cavallerizza (former royal

area of about 22,000 sq.m. and is a natural
continuation of the system of buildings in the
adjacent Piazza Castello. It is made up of a
series of wings and buildings, built in different
eras, characterised by a series of pathways, links
and arcades that were once the centre of
military training services. The high level of
urban quality given by the complex's
exceptional position in the centre of the city
demands regeneration not only of the buildings
but also renewal in social and cultural terms for
the city, making it more accessible through the
opening of pedestrian routes that re-establish
continuity between Piazza Castello, the
buildings around the Royal Palace and the Royal
Gardens. In the respect of a balance of public

This building of great architectural and cultural
value was constructed in the early years of the 20th
century with evident echoes of Juvarra’s
monumental art and features typical of 19th century
public buildings.
The façade is decorated with sculptures, columns,
pilaster strip friezes in travertine and other
important architectural elements. The location is
very attractive and faces the Lamarmora gardens.
Given the position and particular features of the
property, it is suitable for possible use for high

BIOTECHNOLOGY SCHOOL
Centre of excellence for research
One project on which great energy will be
concentrated in coming years is the territorial
and functional reorganisation of the area of
Porta Nuova, part of the broader replanning of
the rail network in Torino. It covers an area of
about 300/500,000 sq.m., partly occupied by
the tracks and service buildings which stretch
southwards from the city centre creating a rift
in the urban fabric. Future projects1 include the
reduction in the number of lines and possibly
putting them underground, enabling the
reunification of part of the city fabric: gardens,
squares and new buildings will occupy the land
currently used by the railway from the city
centre towards the south.
Located a few minutes from Porta Nuova
railway station and the city centre, these
buildings, once the historic Fiat headquarters,
have particular importance for the city and in
the memory of the local and national public.
The project, that will be prepared in the course
of 2006, intends to exploit the potential and
history of these buildings.
These buildings are currently rented; the
contract expires in January 2007.
The new Biotechnology School, currently being
constructed, is the result of collaboration
between public bodies and private companies2.
The project envisages the construction of a
building of about 8,700 sq.m. with areas for
teaching, research laboratories and
administrative offices. The building, ready in July
2006, will be able to host 1,000 students and
200 teachers and other staff, plus parking for
140 cars. Of particular interest is the potential
for research activities, also open to private
companies, thanks to the cutting-edge
laboratories and the business incubator.
The new Biotechnology School intends to be a
centre of excellence for research in Italy.
NH Hotel
Opened in January 2006, the hotel is located in
the centre of Torino, between the cathedral and
the Porta Palatina, within the walls of the
ancient Roman city. It is a new building on a lot
free of constructions.
The hotel has two conference rooms with
seating for 250 and 100, a restaurant and
wellness centre with Turkish bath.
Hotel Santo Stefano was designed by the
architects Gabetti-Isola-Fusari, built by the
construction firm DE-GA SpA, and is run by
the Spanish company NH (Navarra Hoteles),
a prestigious European brand.

Corso Regio Parco, already marked by the
conversion of an old industrial area of
22,000 sq.m. into a lively, modern
multifunctional centre, the Basic Village, will
be further improved by work to recover,
mainly for housing, the former “Ceat”
factory, located at the very beginning of the
avenue, close to the city centre.
Close by, along the river Dora, the
improvement of the former “Italgas” plant
is well advanced.
Continuing along the Corso Regio Parco
there are vast disused areas to the northeast: the former “Tobacco factory” and the
areas of the “Vanchiglia” rail yards are
subject to transformation projects.
The development programme of the
university system includes, in addition to
the expansion of the Politecnico di Torino,
the creation of two new university sites
located in the areas of both the former
Italgas works and the former Tobacco
factory.
The first concerns the creation of a centre
for the law and political faculties with
related student halls of residence (one of
the media villages for the 2006 Winter
Olympics) in the former Italgas area, while
a second set of facilities for art faculties will
be located in the former Tobacco factory.

Historic buildings to renovate.
Area to be developed
The former Italgas site, in the east of Torino: an
industrial area now home to the new Law and
Political Science Faculties. Buildings and libraries
surrounded by greenery look out over the river
Dora, to a design by Norman Foster. Again here,
the Media Village created to host over 400
journalists during the XX Olympic Games will be
converted into university halls of residence: about
400 rooms, common spaces, study rooms, music
room, computer room and a library. The new
campus, together with the university complex,
constitutes one of the most important and
prestigious university centres in the entire
metropolitan area.
The Regia Manifattura Tabacchi was built in
1768 and is one of the most historic
industrial complexes in the city.
The project envisages the restructuring of
the historic buildings of the former Tobacco
Factory and the regeneration of the
neighbouring former Fimit area (19th century
factory owned by the City of Torino).
The location between the historical
neighbourhood of Regio Parco and the River
Po gives further value of an environmental
nature to the conversion project.
The area, which covers a total of 138,000
sq.m., will host tertiary activities, craft, and
could also host cultural and educational
facilities.
The area of the railway yards, now in disuse,
is in the north-east of Torino.
The city master plan envisages work to
transform the area with alternative uses such
as advanced industry, services and
commerce.
The project covers a total area of 64,500
sq.m. which will allow the construction of
32,200 sq.m. gross floor area.
The creation of a park and ride car park is
also planned.
Vanchiglia Railway Yards
Ceat Area
The building is located close to the city centre,
behind the Royal Gardens, along the river Dora.
The renovation work, entrusted to DE-GA SpA,
was begun in autumn 2005.
The ground floor and part of the first floor will
be destined for commercial activities and
services while the upper floors will be used for
lofts and apartments of various sizes, including
large terraces.
A square will be created along the four sides of
the block, overlooking a courtyard with garden
and a two storey garage is also envisaged.

NORTHERN SECTOR: NEW ACCESS TO THE CITY THROUGH BACKBONE BOULEVARD
MOVICENTRO - STURA
The extensive projects in the northern part of
Torino will enable major upgrading in terms
of functions and image of the accessibility of
the city from the north arriving from Milano,
thanks also to the opportunity offered by the
Backbone Boulevard.
Moreover the “Movicentro” transport
interchange centre, including the terminus of
out-of-town bus lines, is planned at the point
of the motorway junction and in the vicinity
of the Stura railway station.
• Stura “Movicentro”
The project includes the construction of a
4-storey car park, new commercial
premises, a bus terminal for urban and outof-town lines with the related parking
spaces (50 places for short stops and 122
for longer stays) and a new 7-floor hotel.
REBAUDENGO RAILWAY STATION
The northern entry point to the Backbone
Boulevard is the Backbone 4 area, around
Rebaudengo railway station (now under
construction, work for which will be
completed in 2009-2010).
• Backbone 4
Backbone 4 is located on the edge of a city
park with a wealth of sports facilities. It
already hosts a range of innovative
companies and trend-setting bars and clubs
that have re-interpreted old industrial
premises and will help to consolidate and
strengthen this focus on advanced industry
and services. The area (150,000 sq.m.) of the
former Fiat plants subject to an Urban
Improvement Programme (85,000 sq.m. of
gross floor area), is currently being
transformed.
The remaining part of the area (250,000
sq.m. of land area, 110,000 sq.m. of gross
floor area) is divided into a number of
properties, in part disused and in part still
occupied.

support activities, service, tertiary and
commercial operations, in addition to work
to conserve the existing stadium.
The operation will be run by F.C. Juventus
football club, which has been assigned a
99-year lease for the Stadio delle Alpi,
surrounding areas and related buildings.
In a vast area named Continassa (332,000
sq.m. land area) adjacent to the Stadio
delle Alpi, the City of Torino is evaluating
the possibility of creating a holiday park of
international standards made up of a wellequipped camp-site with 2,000 plots, a
leisure and sports “water park” and a
wellness centre. This project will enable
the city to respond to the growing and
diversified demand for accommodation as
an alternative to traditional hotels.
135,000 sq.m. are available for the project.
Owned by the City of Torino, the site also
offers a property of historic value, the
Cascina Continassa, which can be
restructured to host activities to serve the
whole project.

BASSE DI STURA PARK
New development and regeneration programme
BASSE DI STURA PARK
The “Basse di Stura Park” is identified in the
Master Plan as an urban and river park. It is
located in the north of the city of Torino.
With an area of approximately 1,500,000
sq.m., it stretches for about 3 kilometres
along the right bank of the river Stura (about
1,900,000 sq.m. if the entire river area is
considered).
The use of the area is very mixed, marked by
the presence of businesses, disused
industrial sites and waste treatment plants.
The Master Plan of the City of Torino aims to
drive action to improve, reclaim and enhance
the environment through:
1. safety measures against possible flooding
of the river Stura;
2. reclamation of polluted areas;
3. termination of polluting activities;
4. identification of zoning areas for the Park.
The urban park with its four functional areas
may be created both by specific public
initiatives and in ways that involve private
resources (such as project financing, the
establishment of an Urban Transformation
company or other solutions). Reclamation
work is currently underway following the
guidelines of the Environmental Reclamation
Implementation Plan which, through public
resources, also allows the acquisition of the
areas to be reclaimed.
