Station for Transformation – Modelling a train station as a replicable hub for public-civic engagement to tackle climate change and biodiversity challenges
Start date: 01/03/2024
End date: 31/08/2027
Funder: Unione europea, European Urban Initiative
Operational unit: CSG + OBCT

The Station for Transformation (S4T) project rethinks the role of Rovereto railway station and the surrounding area, transforming it into a public-civic hub for joint actions to promote the ecological transition of the Vallagarina area. S4T makes the response to the climate crisis and biodiversity loss accessible and attractive by experimenting with innovative solutions in strategic areas such as sustainable agri-food, social inclusion, green cities, and responsible tourism.
The project also has a transnational dimension, involving three European cities called Transfer Partner Cities - Nova Gorica (Slovenia), Granada (Spain) and Piraeus (Greece) - to encourage the exchange of practices and knowledge and develop replicable models inspired by the experience of Rovereto, where the disused areas of the station will be transformed into hubs of innovation, promotion of good practices and community involvement.
In addition to coordinating the transnational work, the CCI, through its OBCT Operational Unit, will produce a slow journalism series, including articles, news reports, interviews, and multimedia content, documenting challenges and solutions in different European contexts and showing how different realities can address common problems to tackle climate change.
