The revitalization project of the National Resistance Square aims to restore the square’s character as a place of leisure and social interaction. The new design divides the plot into four welcoming zones connected by green and shaded alleys, integrating seamlessly with the surrounding urban network.
These areas offer spaces for relaxation, play, and exploration, each incorporating features such as solar electricity production, rainwater collection, waste separation, compost processing, and energy efficiency. Essentially, the square will serve as a “green filter” between the dense urban fabric and greenery, promoting sunlight, air circulation, and water conservation. The incorporation of green technology and water recycling was a key aspect of the design, intended to educate children and future generations about renewable energy sources, recycling, rainwater collection, and sustainability from an early age.
