The business association Confartigianato Pescara is advocating for improved urban security in the city’s nightlife districts, particularly near Piazza Santa Caterina, following incidents of aggression. Director Fabrizio Vianale has stated that law enforcement should maintain a “continuous presence” to protect residents and economic operators.

To support commercial vitality and prevent urban vulnerability, the association backs a municipal proposal to amend urban planning regulations. This measure seeks to prevent the conversion of commercial storefronts into private garages within designated zones to preserve the social and urban functions of active businesses.
