"The Rewilding Grounds is an urban research seeking to reconnect Polignano with its natural and agricultural landscape. The project is structured around three interrelated strategies: ecological regeneration, public space enhancement and sustainable mobility. Through a new green-blue infrastructure along the railway, it aims to support biodiversity and foster inclusive and resilient development."
