These range from defenses against cyber attacks and therefore the migration of data processing centers to a cloud Common (5 million), to the urban regeneration of parts of the city – especially in the suburbs – which are suffering as in the northern and eastern areas (almost two hundred million) to get to the two infrastructures that determine everyone’s life: mobility with new trains, new trams and a new tram line on the east-west route, a return to the past but revised and corrected. And the school. Material and immaterial common good because without the first there cannot be the second.
The Pnrr of the Municipality takes shape, the overall value is not much more than one billion euros and the important thing is that on the ground Palazzo San Giacomo led by the mayor Gaetano Manfredi it put 73 projects all operational for a value of 751 million. In short, it’s serious. Keeping two things in mind: that the delivery date of the construction sites is imperatively June 2026, Europe imposes it on us as well as on all other EU member countries. And let’s move on to the second consideration: the National Recovery and Resilience Plan is the keystone – together with the Pact for Naples and to the Government’s very recent allocation for Bagnoli – to make the city take a leap forward. The three investment plans are worth 3.6 billion together, because individually each is worth 1.2 billion. The essence is that Naples – perhaps for the last time – is being hit by a fairly heavy rain of money. Manfredi is aware of this and puts his foot on the accelerator to increasingly stimulate his team of councillors.
Let’s start from the school where the Municipality has focused on 28 kindergartens which are being redeveloped and equipped with new structures such as gyms. Kindergartens where the structure is being put in place to make them earthquake-proof with investments of 83 million. However, to these are added another 75 million who arrived from the metropolitan city of which he is still president Manfredi. Money that will benefit 20 schools in the capital. On the school front, the former Province provided a total of 200 million. After extracting those that went to Naples, the other 125 were distributed in the municipalities of the metropolitan area. The Pnrr is divided into 6 missions but Manfredi has given herself a week and we hope she will succeed: that is to demonstrate “that local authorities and in particular those in the south do not know how to spend Pnrr funds are fake news”. In Naples, a maxi plan for schools of around 83 million has been launched – essentially – to which those of the school are added Metropolitan city and another 11 million “Indifferentible Works Fund” allocated by the Ministry of Economy and Finance to address the increase in the costs of construction materials.
Redeveloping, recovering and enhancing what already exists is the common thread of the Pnrr to reduce inequalities and the south-north but also south-south gaps because there is always someone further south. What does it mean? If people are removed from degraded conditions, from dilapidated houses and a positive urban context is reconstructed that offers prospects, then people’s lives can change for the better. And this is the operation implemented in Scampìa where Gomorrah is – at least the one told in the fiction inspired by the book by Roberto Saviano – in the process of being dismantled. Now it is already partially “A new eco-district in the area of the former lot M” the famous one of the Vele. At the end of Vela Standing only one will remain and it will be used for institutional purposes. It is a form of investment – the Municipality explains – aimed at a peripheral neighborhood whose objective is to redevelop the infrastructure and logistics of the entire area, as well as create new services for citizens, thus transforming a particularly vulnerable territory into a smart city and sustainable realities.
«In particular, the objective is to demolish sails C and D and redevelop sail B and the surrounding area. The financed interventions include the construction of 215 homes, the school complex and equipment of common interest. The construction of primary urbanization works such as underground services, roads, public lighting, public parking, and secondary neighborhood equipment for the entire scope of the intervention is also financed. The figure put forward is 85 million to which another 40 million already financed by public sources must be added. The same scheme was implemented at Iron Tavern a horror overlooking the sea and facing Vesuvius whose demolition and reconstruction operations have already begun three months ago and see the deputy mayor as the protagonist Laura Lieto. Where the mural of Maradona and in the popular part of the city which is the east area, we are at San Giovanni a Teduccio it is not an insignificant element. The investment is 65 million as far as the Pnrr is concerned and here too there will be other income from other funds worth an additional 42 million. Because Pnrr has a multiplier effect if you know how to use it. The new project involves replacing the two rows of concrete monsters with 28 medium-sized, human-scale buildings.
There ecological transition goes through sustainable mobility, hence the massive investment in the purchase of ecologically adequate vehicles. The investment is almost 300 million without calculating what is being done to expand the maintenance workshops. The money with which 256 electric buses were purchased, many of which are already in the ANM car parks to maintain, costs amount to 144 million. Linked to the purchase of electric buses is another 36 million allocation to adapt ANM depots to accommodate these new vehicles.
Project which is divided into three lines of intervention: the creation of research infrastructures, adaptation of civil works and works to power the buses themselves. To complement the company’s fleet Line 1 of the metro there is the purchase of a further 3 trains which will be added by 2026 to the other 20 already ordered, of which 10 are already in operation, the cost is 41.5 million. The same operation – 30 million – is being done for the purchase of 3 trains for line 6 which will begin operations on July 1st. For the expansion of the Line 1 workshop depot in Piscinola, another 68 million have been lowered to the ground. To redo the tram line – including the purchase of 5 trams – which runs from San Giovanni in Piazza Sannazaro 45 million invested.
