Florence-Bagno a Ripoli tramway redevelopment

Overview

The tramway project connecting Florence to Bagno a Ripoli has progressed from infrastructure construction to urban greening.

Initial phases focused on technical works, including track laying in Viale Europa and road modifications in Piazza Beccaria and Piazza del Bandino. These operations required night shifts and transit restrictions to manage vehicle access and lane restorations.

Following these construction efforts, redevelopment in Piazza Beccaria has transitioned toward environmental improvements. The project includes planting 35 new trees—specifically mulberry and plane trees—to complement existing vegetation. This phase aims to transform the area from a transit roundabout into a green social space by depaving approximately 550 square meters and installing new fountains to combat the heat island effect.
