Project Description
In the Piedmont area and Turin, the Po and Dora rivers represent the most influential natural elements and event generators. Rivers are located downstream of the Alps and burst into the city of Turin.
Analyzing the hydrological network of the territory, flooding areas and their impact on vegetation was highlighted. The river brought to the city a particular type of vegetation, which now coexists with other plant species which are not local but are part of a well-established urban fabric.The project tests if accumulation points due to terrain morphology can help augment and repeat in other parts of the city this already existing/coexisting ecology.
