The program agreement for the transformation of the western part of the city of Naples has been signed, concerning the entire area of the Naples FS station Phlegraean Fields.
The objectives include the strengthening of the infrastructure, the development of the intermodal hub, the urban regeneration of the railway areas owned by the FS Italiane Group and the creation of new university spaces.
The agreement, signed by the Campania Region, the Municipality of Naples, the State Property Agency, the Parthenope University of Naples, Rete Ferroviaria Italiana and Fs Sistemi Urbani, provides for the construction of the new station and the new depot for Line 6 of the municipal metro, the regeneration of the railway areas and the construction of the new Parthenope University campus.
The agreement – it is emphasized – represents a fundamental step for the development and urban regeneration of an entire city area, which is configured as a new western gateway for Naples: the project intends to return regenerated spaces to the community, promote sustainability and encourage intermodality, with expected benefits for the entire metropolitan area.
As part of the city's infrastructure development, the Municipality of Naples will be responsible for the construction of the new depot/workshop and the new station for Line 6 of the subway, on areas owned by Fs Sistemi Urbani and Rfi, in addition to areas owned by the State that the State Property Agency transferred into ownership of the Municipality of Naples in 2024, thanks to the procedures of state property federalism.
The project also includes the creation of a modal interchange system between the L2 and L6 metro lines, with the aim of improving public transport connectivity and facilitating transfers between different transport modes.
The strengthening of connections will also be implemented through the extension of the pedestrian walkway of the Leopardi stop and the creation of a new FS station front on Via Tiberio. Furthermore, the agreement aims at the urban regeneration of the areas of Via Diocleziano and Via Giulio Cesare, owned by Fs Sistemi Urbani, through the establishment of new public and private functions.
The aim is to improve the overall urban quality of the Fuorigrotta-Bagnoli route by strengthening the interconnection between Piazzale Tecchio and Via Campegna, also through the FS Park interchange car park. In this way, the reorganisation of the western area envisaged by the Bagnoli-Coroglio plan is completed through an integrated urban planning strategy that combines urban and environmental regeneration by improving accessibility to public transport.
Finally, the agreement provides for the construction of the new campus of the University of Naples Parthenope, which will be built in the former arsenal on Via Campegna, a real estate complex owned by the State and leased to the university: a place with modern spaces for training, research and academic development, also intended to accommodate university residences to further strengthen the role of the university in the city.
