Lighthouses stand proudly along coastlines, silent sentinels that have guided sailors and ships through treacherous waters for centuries. These iconic structures are not merely beacons of light; they are symbols of safety, hope, and resilience against the elements. Ø A Rich Maritime Heritage: From the rugged cliffs of coastal Scotland to the serene shores of New England, lighthouses have been an integral part of maritime history. These towering structures have witnessed the ebb and flow of tides, the passage of countless ships, and the changing face of navigation technology.   Ø Architectural Marvels: Lighthouses come in various shapes and sizes, each with its unique design and character. Some are perched on rocky cliffs, while others rise from the midst of the sea on solitary islands. The architectural diversity of lighthouses adds to their charm, making each one a picturesque landmark against the backdrop of the ocean.     Ø Guardians of the Night: The primary function of a lighthouse is to guide ships safely through the darkness. Equipped with powerful light sources, often with distinctive patterns, these beacons cut through the night, providing a visible reference point for mariners. The rhythmic flashes and rotations of the light serve as a language of navigation, aiding sailors in identifying their location and avoiding hazards.   Ø Evolution and Adaptation: While modern navigation technologies have diminished the practical necessity of lighthouses, these structures endure as symbols of tradition and resilience. Many lighthouses have found new purposes, serving as museums, tourist attractions, or even cozy bed-and-breakfast accommodations. Their historic significance and cultural value continue to captivate the imagination of people around the world.     Ø Tourist Attractions and Landmarks: Lighthouses, with their stunning coastal locations and captivating histories, draw tourists and history enthusiasts alike. Climbing to the top of a lighthouse offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding seascape, creating an unforgettable experience for visitors. In a world marked by constant change, lighthouses stand as timeless reminders of our connection to the sea and the importance of guidance in our journey through life. Their steadfast presence continues to illuminate not only the maritime landscape but also our collective human history. So, the next time you spot a lighthouse on the horizon, take a moment to appreciate the enduring legacy of these guiding lights of the sea. #sea #lighthouse #marine

NEXT GENERATION URBAN PARKS Valentino Urban Park Enhancement Strategy New #quadernoFULL Download open access at https://lnkd.in/dYv9xrpw Available in 🇮🇹 and 🇬🇧 Valentino park is one of Turin’s best-loved parks and where the city’s collective memory is condensed. This is where Christine of France built her royal residence in the 17th century, enlarging and transforming a river villa overlooking the Po. It is also where the International Exhibitions of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were held, as well as the Valentino Grand Prix motor races. As part of the Next Generation EU funding, the Italian Ministry of Culture has identified the enhancement of Valentino Park as one of the 14 cultural attractions located in Italy to be rehabilitated through ad hoc funding and planning. The master plan aims to enable the City of Turin to identify the most effective spending strategy to maximize the effect of investments related to the expected structural funds to produce positive socio-economic impacts and lasting domino effects. The investigation answers four main questions: 1) How are contemporary urban parks, and why do people visit them? 2) Is Valentino urban park a contemporary park? 3) What is its unexpressed potential? 4) Which strategy can activate its unexpressed potential?

To increase the available land space, the principality is once again expanding into the Mediterranean. The new district, called Portier Cove, is set to be completed in 2025. This is not the first time that Monaco has reclaimed land from the sea. The principality first began expanding in 1880, and Prince Rainier, known as the “builder prince,” increased the size of Monaco by 20 percent during the 1960s and ’70s. The new $2.3 billion undertaking will create nearly 650,000 square feet of residential and commercial space to accommodate up to 1,000 residents. The district will also boast a landscaped park, a marina with 30 berths, and a central public square. #PowersProperties #monaco #monacorealestate #monacoimmobilier #exclusiveproperties #monacorentals #luxuryrealestate #luxuryapartment #montecarlorealestate #monacolife #monacoapartment #monacoexpansion #southoffrance #frenchriviera #luxurybreaks #luxurytravel

One of the secrets of Italian cities is that of having dedicated many areas of the historic centers to the exclusive use of pedestrians, while preserving at the same time artisanal activities and historic markets within them. With a surface area of 467 hectares, Saigon has a historic center of great respect, comparable to those of Italian cities. However, only a small part of it is designed to be exclusively for pedestrian use, in the already completed boulevard of Nguyen Hue street and in the extension program to the boulevard of Le Loi street, also in conjunction with the completion of the first Saigon subway. Instead, it is necessary to create a system of public spaces and streets dedicated to pedestrians that can create a "loop" effect, to guarantee a broader experience and expansion of tourist tours, thus extending pedestrian access to secondary historic streets and at the same time preserving historic markets and traditional activities within them (such as the historic market of Ton That Dam). #italiancities #milan #palermo #venice #florence #naples #bari #turin #rome #saigon #vietnam #pedestrianstreet #walkability #historicalcenters #pedestrianzone #traditionalmarkets #TonThatDam #NguyenHuestreet #Leloistreet #hochiminhsubway #publicspaces #historicstreets #history #carfreezones #urbandesign #urbanplanning #citymanagement
