In an initial analysis phase, the distribution of the numerous parish youth clubs throughout the area was mapped, and the correlation between them and sports spaces, social infrastructure and urban green spaces was studied. A further study took account of the demographic element and accessibility on the city-wide scale through georeferenced maps, showing the role of parishes as places for local services, central for developing a human-oriented city. Following the study, the project focussed on the definition of a Strategic Design Framework which will make it possible to suggest social regeneration strategies, with particular reference to the sports sector, based precisely on these facilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In many cases, children with CP can recover part of their motor neurone ability with intense rehabilitation work, and sport can help this process and contribute to the achievement of functional objectives that would otherwise have taken longer to attain. The ACCEPT project focusses on climbing, in partnership with the FightTheStroke foundation: the result is an adapted interactive wall, fitted with sensors and optimised to meet the rehabilitation needs of children affected by CP between 6 and 13 years old (and children with motor problems more generally). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
