Crosslands: resilient and new metropolitan polarities in the peri-urban river spaces of the Mediterranean Coast

After the collapse of the Morandi Bridge the challenge now is not the construction of a new bridge (and its possible combination with the consolidation of the remains of the old one) but the generation of multiple "bridges" and the treatment of the entire Polcevera Valley – a river valley with a wide variety of urban, landscape, industrial, and heritage structures, which existed for years with its “back to the city”. That valley, today, can be (re)signified – treated with ambition and urban quality – as a new fundamental focal point in the city.
