In the north-east area of the city, at the Pilastro and in the surrounding territory, important transformations are ongoing.

Aree Annesse Sud
In the "Aree Annesse Sud" area, near the Pilastro and the neighbouring commercial and university areas, a new part of the city will arise.
The project contemplates:
> commercial, reception, management, etc. activities (25,000 square metres);
> about 600 homes;
> about 200 homes for social housing;
> greenery and parking areas (83,500 square metres).

The project will also have to carry out some actions for equipment and public spaces, specifically:
> a police station in the centre of the Pilastro complex;
> a new school complex (nursery and primary school) between the new buildings and the existing ones;
> a system of greenery (public gardens, picnic areas and a green corridor) with cycling and walking tracks (both in the east-west direction towards the Pilastro and the Meraville shopping park, and in the north-south and north direction towards CAAB).
The transformation of the area has been discussed with citizens in meetings coordinated by Urban Center Bologna.
