"The core issue is the transformation of the rail line causing a rupture that damages cohesion, nature, and vitality. The RE-SOURCING strategy mobilizes: Nature: RE-NATURALIZATION restores ecological continuity and manages flood risks. Social Dynamics: RE-CONNECTION links human flows. New Materiality: RE-ACTIVATION transforms empty plots and buildings into civic grounds, driven by citizens and local materials. The project is regenerative by transforming the fracture into an "opportunity belt" through urban, ecological, and social renewal."
