Mending Termini Station és el títol d'una experimentació acadèmica que ha estat tractada i aprofundida entre 2017 i 2018 en el context d'un Màster en finances immobiliàries (a la LUISS Business School a Roma), un Taller internacional de planificació urbana i arquitectura (amb la participació de les universitats de Roma Tre i Sapienza, de Roma, ETSAB / UPC, de Barcelona, UFRGS, de Porto Alegre - Brasil, i UNR, de Rosario - Argentina) i diversos cursos d'Urbanisme al Departament d'Arquitectura de la Universitat Roma Tre.L'experimentació es funda sobre l'anomalia genètica de les ciutats italianes, lligades al transport per carretera (acte particulars, busos i camions), que mostra progressivament i dramàticament les seves conseqüències, especialment a la ciutat de Roma - que té el territori municipal més ampli de Europa. El "cura del ferro," promès pel Pla Regulador municipal de 2008, que contemplava noves línies de metro, tramvies, ferroviàries, corredors preferencials de transport públic i el tancament del cinturó ferroviari a la part nord de Roma, lamentablement segueix apareixent en les cròniques causa de fallides i interrupcions.La congestió del trànsit vehicular, a causa de l'estructura radial de la xarxa viària romana (que segueix l'estructura de les antigues carreteres consulars), la ineficiència del transport públic i el flux mono direccional de viatgers diaris ai del centre de la ciutat, involucra tota l'àrea metropolitana i paralitza tots els dies als ciutadans.En particular, l'estructura dels ferrocarrils sembla penalitzada pel cinturó que encara no s'ha completat, per una nova estació per als trens d'Alta Velocitat, l'Estació Tiburtina, subutilizada causa de la presència dominant de l'Estació Termini, l'estació principal de Roma, on arriben la majoria dels trens regionals i Alta Velocitat.Per la seva ubicació, a cavall entre les Muralles Antiga de l'Emperador Aureliano, que envolten el centre històric de Roma, l'Estació Termini es caracteritza com un tall al mig del cor de la ciutat, un fragment urbà que separa els barris Esquilino, Castro Pretorio , Sant Llorenç, i que atreu fenòmens al mateix temps de degradació i turistificació massiva.El projecte Mending Termini Station està inspirat en una hipòtesi del Pla Regulador de 1931 (per l'arquitecte Marcello Piacentini). Aquest Pla, al final d'un llarg debat que va durar més de cinquanta anys, va proposar l'eliminació de l'estació de Termini, construïda al quadrant oriental del centre històric de Roma, reemplaçant-amb un ferrocarril subterrani i una nova estació ferroviària, també aquesta subterrània , i el tancament simultani de l'anell ferroviari cap al nord. La zona de Termini, un cop alliberada de la infraestructura ferroviària, estava destinada a convertir-se en un nou centre direccional amb característiques monumentals, en línia amb el que es va aconseguir en altres capitals europees.Mending Termini Station actualitza les idees de planificació de 1931: l'eliminació de l'actual estació de Termini, reemplaçada per un nou traçat ferroviari subterrani i una nova estació, també subterrània, únicament per al Alta Velocitat; la reutilització i valorització de l'Estació del 1949 i de la seva gran àrea central, alliberada dels rails; el tancament del cinturó ferroviari amb la reorganització de la mobilitat i del transport públic de tota l'àrea metropolitana de Roma. Tot això, en total conformitat amb les regulacions europees sobre la liberalització del mercat ferroviari. L'assaig il·lustrarà els estudis preparatoris, les anàlisis històrics, el model actual, les avaluacions crítiques i els mètodes de construcció de les propostes. La metodologia d'implementació ha previst un joc de rol, on van estar representats els tres actors principals de la transformació urbana: el Municipi, l'empresa que gestiona la xarxa ferroviària i els edificis ferroviaris, RFI Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (Grup Ferrovie dello Stato) i finalment els ciutadans mateixos.Les solucions proposades es caracteritzen per la seva factibilitat urbana, de transport i mobilitat i també socioeconòmica. Per tant, constitueixen una proposta sostenible per a la ciutat de Roma i el seu sistema de transport públic.

Abstract
Mending Termini Station is the title of an academic experimentation that has been treated and deepened between 2017 and 2018 in the context of a Master in Real Estate Finance (at the LUISS Business School in Rome), an international workshop on urban planning and architecture (with the participation of the universities Roma Tre and Sapienza, of Rome, ETSAB / UPC, of Barcelona, UFRGS, of Porto Alegre - Brazil, and UNR, of Rosario - Argentina) and Urban Planning Laboratories at the Department of Architecture of the University “Rome Tre”.The experimentation is based on the genetic anomaly of the Italian cities, linked to road transport (private cars, buses and trucks), that progressively and dramatically shows its consequences, especially in the city of Rome - which has the broadest municipal territory of Europe.
