The design of the masterplan of the Oltreferrovia Park conceived by the MC A – Mario Cucinella Architects studio, with PAISÀ Landscape, was born from the will of the Municipality of Carpi to create a mediation between the historic city and the extensive agricultural space located behind the railway line. The participatory path offered the local community the unique opportunity to actively contribute to the design of a space that would respond directly to their needs.
Following and bringing to light the grid of the agricultural landscape, the design is divided into what have been defined “rooms”, or spaces divided into three thematic macro-categories:

The green project moves towards the recovery of the landscape memories of the Po Valley that characterized it until the middle of the last century. In the past, in fact, the area was strongly influenced by the coexistence of various types of environments, from expert woods, to wetlands and waterways. The reticulated morphology of the agricultural landscape mixes with the new design, in which a sort of belvedere in the center determines the sense of openness of the large central lawn, enhancing the visual continuity both with the historic city and with the surrounding countryside. From the large central heart, the green permeates to the North and South, through rows of trees that follow the axial pedestrian cycle connection, in the gardens and in the service areas as a sort of extension of naturalness.
