Bari urban renewal: via Manzoni greening and San Marcello infrastructure works

urban redevelopment Bari pedestrianization public works green spaces

Urban redevelopment projects are progressing in Bari, focusing on infrastructure and green space enhancement. In the San Marcello district, works are underway on via Salvemini and via Omodeo as part of an integrated peripheral requalification program. Key developments include the installation of wider, accessible sidewalks, the creation of a tree-lined central traffic island, and the implementation of the Green line for the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, which will connect Japigia to the Fiera del Levante.

Simultaneously, the transformation of via Manzoni into a pedestrian-friendly green corridor is advancing. Recent efforts included planting eleven Schinus terebinthifolius trees and various herbaceous plants between via Calefati and via Abate Gimma. Once complete, the 750-meter street will feature approximately 90 new trees, including species such as dwarf pittosporum, mastic, and myrtle. The central pedestrian section has been reopened to the public using restored historical paving stones.
