Introduction

The S.I.S.Te.M.A. Terni Programme represents an opportunity to enhance the role of the town of Terni as an important territorial node of the area surrounding the Appennini mountains of the Abuzzo region. The S.I.S.Te.M.A. Terni Programme focuses on strengthening the Terni infrastructural system through the enhancement of the already existing features and the improvement of the E45 highway (Venice-Civitavecchia) with particular attention to the node Terni-L’Aquila-Sulmona.

Description

The S.I.S.Te.M.A. Terni Programme lists three levels of action:

A “System action” that aims to create a feasibility study to define a strategic plan in order to identify the interventions to be developed and the actions to be improved to enhance the infrastructural features of the area. The System Action stimulates a tighter and more balanced relationship between infrastructure and territory
A “Context action” aimed at enhancing the sportive and naturalistic infrastructure of the area in order to create a “City of the Sport” inter-connected with the main infrastructural axes
