The revolution
“Since few years, on the entire urban area, the asphalt of the city has been replaced by vegetation. Turin is a city totally overrun with plant growth. Grass has taken the place of asphalt.
In the squares, vegetation has grown lush, the trees and fruit trees have taken over the large streets: in some areas of the city, citizens tend their vegetable gardens.
On the Turin streets, one can see barefoot passers-by, others are on horseback, and there’s the latest generation of very rapid, quiet vehicles for public transportation. The energetic needs is reduced of 60% as the sanitary costs.
In the months immediately following its definitive transformation, the city becomes one of the world’s top-ten tourist attractions.
Besides the important impact on its image and as an international attraction, all this brings about a profound positive change in the organization of urban living and the citizens’ life-styles; with Turin’s inhabitants, in perspective, establishing a new perception of the man/city/nature relationship.
New previously unknown potentialities are triggered: the neighbourhood itself with such a different reality, after a basically simple, but truly radical, revolution of the urban area, develops new economic philosophies, completely reconverting the city’s productive activities towards other venues that are far distant from its former historical industrial vocation.”
