DYNAMIC FLOWS CONTROL
The city of Piacenza have been growing across centuries protecting itself from the seasonal floods of the Po river, which passing across these flatlands have always had a great importance for human activities, especially for those related to agriculture. Today the City is even more far from the River due to the infrastructural paths enhanced during these last decades, increasing their collateral role of barrier.

The pond system proposed in the project would assume the configuration of an extensive urban park, and it would be the last link in a system which upstream of the city includes the use of agricultural fields as the location for controlled flooding of the River.
