Florence:

the paradox of an iper – used city

The case of Florence is emblematic of the "polar city “ of those cities

that, for the variety of functions it performs, acts as a focal point than the

surrounding area (central place).

In the historic center of Florence, the

problem is made more complex by a "hyper

use" due to the concentration of roles that

despite the decentralization plans, still

weigh significantly on the production of

waste and on the toilet holding the streets.

In its historical center are gathering over the political and

administrative activities typical of a regional capital, also

schools, institutions and Italian and foreign universities,

representatives of various kinds and all major activities

related to tourism.

The concentration of functions and their stratification characterize the city as

"unique", and for the exclusive nature of the offer, and for the complexity of

the urban model represented, difficult to compare with other cities. At the

same time the historic center of Florence can be defined as "... a place of

identification at the international level by being the Florence medieval

and Renaissance model for many European cities." (Bernhard Winkler:

"Project of urban mobility in the city of Florence ").

This fact must still be carried out with the dual aim of safeguarding both the

economic and environmental values, as well as those historical architecture,

which led UNESCO to add in the "World Heritage List“.

Quadrifoglio Spa, in the observance of the sustainability of the interventions in

terms of cost - benefits, always arises in order to pursue the quality of service

targets and the achievement of recycling standards, with an additional focus

on the relationship with architectural historical context of the historical center.

In that sense, finding full cooperation with the office of the City of Florence

Historic Centre World Heritage UNESCO, the company has identified, and

partly implemented, a series of projects that will, among others, a substantial

contribution to greater dignity and protection of the urban environment of the

historical center of Florence.

The problem of Florence is not the production of

waste itself, but the concentration of production

in spaces of reduced size and reduced usability,

for the high pedestrian and vehicle attendance.

The interesting fact to be analyzed is thus the

production of total waste in reference to the

spatial dimension, but even more so in reference

to the linear extension of the roads, where the

services, must necessarily be carried out.

Florence - castrum area: simulation

of the daily waste production in

relation to the linear extension of the

roads (almost 15 kg of Urban waste

per 10 meters of road)

The historic center of Florence In such a context, the adopted solution until the start of the new

project was the use of road waste bins, intended for unsorted waste, “bells” in

polyethylene for the "mixed materials" and collecting paper

and cardboard made with the method "door to door." But over time this

system has created problems both aesthetic impact, decoration and hygiene of

the urban area, is an inefficiency in the performance of separate collection.

The technical solution for collection in Florence Center:

Underground bins

In the historical center of Florence, the high concentration of economic

activities, the small size of the roads and the high number of tourists most of

the year, doesn’t allow to place an appropriate number of road bins for the

different waste fractions.

The integrated model of recycling for the city of Florence provides with the

following solutions:

12

In summary, the solution adopted for the

historical center of Florence, from 2008 to

the end of 2016, it has allowed to eliminate

672 waste bins, source of degradation,

abandonment and dirt, replace them with

only 45 underground stations, which are

monitored, cleaned and washed every

day, giving a significant contribution to the

maintenance of decorum of artistic,

architectural and historical peculiarities of

Unesco Site.
