In a short time, the completion of the pre-existing subway will produce a transformation of an important part of the expansion urban territory. This area has been already built in an heterogeneous way without an urban plan.
Thus, the new transport networks are useful to favour the development of a new urban intensity and social revitalisation, polarising important activities such as the University, the Hospital and new housing.
Creating "innovative processes" is thus an instrument for the social and relational rehabilitation, and it contributes to give a new urban definition of a territory that currently is not integrated into the town. The new role of public Institutions (Iacp-Institute for Public Housing, Municipality of Catania, University, Region, Circumetnea Railway) is to promote social actions that, through the renovation of the public spaces, can create a sustainable town and a decisive response to the potential future of Librino.
