Il Mattino has published an article highlighting the progress of the Coastal Masterplan South Salerno, a project by Stefano Boeri Architetti and Società Cooperativa MATE, in collaboration with StudioSilva and F Tourism & Marketing. The initiative falls within the Integrated Enhancement Programs, aimed at the regeneration of vast areas within the regional territory.
The project spans eight municipalities—Salerno, Pontecagnano-Faiano, Bellizzi, Battipaglia, Eboli, Capaccio-Paestum, Agropoli, and Castellabate—covering a total area of 480 km², along 50 km of coastline, and involving a population of 310,000 residents. This region boasts a rich historical and natural heritage, with key archaeological sites such as Paestum and Pontecagnano, as well as environmentally significant areas like the Cilento Park and the Sele Plain.
The Masterplan presents a unified vision for enhancing the coastal system while simultaneously regenerating existing urban areas. The intervention along the stretch from Salerno to Castellabate is structured around five key thematic areas: mobility, energy, environment, urban regeneration, and tourism.
As part of the Masterplan, the Parco Costiero delle Marine del Sele envisions the creation of a new public waterfront, including the redevelopment of the coastal system, a tree-lined promenade, and the enhancement of the archaeological areas inland. The goal is to strengthen and rethink a complex yet highly valuable coastal landscape from both an environmental and cultural perspective.
