Art. 1. SUBJECT AND PURPOSE OF THE COMPETITION

The municipality of Prato is holding a restricted design competition with preselection. The design competition is entitled “IL PARCO CENTRALE DI PRATO.” The city council intends to create an urban park on the site of the former hospital, in the service of the city and the surrounding region, that will perform the basic functions of such open spaces, linked to relaxation, walking, leisure and the environmental and biological rebalancing of the city center. The park will also have to be a tourist attraction, going beyond the fulfillment of the traditional functions of the “urban park” and taking on the role of a new place able to convey an image of Prato as a contemporary city and contribute to the socioeconomic development of the city center, with activities that can be carried out the whole day long.The design will have to turn around the themes of accessibility and environmental sustainability and pay adequate attention to questions of security.

The winner will be entrusted with the task of drawing up the definitive project and working plan for the park, as per art. 4.11. For a more detailed description of the objectives of the competition see the Preliminary Planning Document (PPD, appendix A) which is to all effects and purposes an integral part of this notice.
