BOLZANO. In six buildings owned byIpsin housing-boom-in-applications-62-in-one-year-news/” title=”Rush to Ipes housing, boom in applications: +62% in one year – News”>via Aslago in Oltrisarco, are there 52 dilapidated housing. They could become 180, but to triple or almost quadruple the current number we need to move from the level of proposals and ideas to concrete facts. An absolutely urgent thing in a city where the housing emergency becomes more serious every day. Because finding accommodation to rent is now a challenge and if it is found, the rent weighs “too much” on the families’ budget. At the moment, however, everything is at a standstill and we are witnessing the passing of the buck between the Municipality and Ipes.
«Deputy mayor Konder’s proposal is good – admits the president of Ipes Francesca Tosolini – to also involve cooperatives and private individuals in the redevelopment operation of the area of via Aslago, in Oltrisarco. But the buildings belong to the Institute, we must obtain at least the number of accommodations we have today and there are 52. To achieve more, the Municipality needs to increase the volume index and intervene to improve the road system. It is true that our procedures take time and this means that we are slower than the private sector, but in this case it is the Municipality that is late. He still has to decide exactly what type of operation to do.”
Redevelopment stopped
«Last year – comments the provincial councilor of the Democratic Party Sandro Repetto – I had presented a motion in which I proposed demolishing the old buildings and “redistributing” the volume between Ipes, private individuals and cooperatives. More or less the deputy mayor’s plan Konder. Document rejected by the majority with the excuse that they already had a project and that they would have implemented it within a year. Months passed and nothing happened. Everything is at a standstill.”
Although we have been talking about it for years, unfortunately we are only at the level of ideas or little more. «Our plan – explains Konder – would include demolishing the six Ipes buildings and reserving the 40% to social housing, 40% to subsidized housing (cooperatives), 20% for private accommodation at controlled prices. Thus we could move from the current 52 homes to 170-180. However, the cubature index must be increased: from 3,5 cubic meters per square meter at least 5. The current maximum height is 11,5 meters, it could reach 19. Below there are also two underground garage floors with approx 130 parking spaces. We are planning a meeting with Ipes in the next few weeks to decide how to proceed and to speed up the project. The entry of cooperatives and private individuals would make it possible to differentiate the accommodation offer, thus avoiding the creation of ghettos and reducing procedure and construction times”.
An incredible slowness
The advantage of this operation is that the land is already publicly owned and it would be “building on the built”. Before going to build on new areas which at the moment, among other things, aren’t even there. And they are unlikely to exist at least in the short to medium term. In fact, first we need to prepare the municipal development program for the territory and landscape (much more complicated than the old Puc), but we are still at the level of the European tender for the search for the study that will have to develop it.
For its part, Ipes has run out of land in Bolzano. If you exclude i 15 housing under construction in Maso della Pieve; for the others, announced several times, we will have to wait years. «The tender for the construction of 30 accommodation in the Druso east district – assures the president Tossolin – as well as the one for i 65 at the former boarding school, in Aslago. Work will begin in 2025. It will take two years for Druso est and three for Aslago. We are talking about a total investment of 45 million of Euro. Unfortunately, the public procedures are more complex and therefore the timeframe is longer. Furthermore, land designated for Ipes is often used as material storage areas. So our construction sites start last.” It will certainly be like this, if in Druso east the coop and private condominiums have been inhabited for some years now. While the Ipes construction site will start in 2025. A.M.
