E’ noto come il legame tra i corsi d’acqua e la fondazione degli insediamenti umani sia stato un elemento fondamentale per lo sviluppo delle Civiltà, vissuto da sempre da una parte come importante risorsa e mezzo di scambio e dall'altra come portatore di disagi e problemi. E’ noto anche come lo squilibrio tra le energie assorbite dalla città ed i fattori inquinanti da essa prodotti è diventato ormai ingestibile e studi recenti sui principali fiumi dimostrano come l'inquinamento da un lato e l'aumento dei prelievi per uso civile, alimentare ed industriale dall'altro stiano rapidamente impoverendo le riserve d'acqua dolce del pianeta. Inoltre i drastici cambiamenti climatici in atto, lo sfruttamento dei suoli ed i carenti sistemi di controllo e tutela, determinano un incremento del rischio di dissesto idro-geologico ed alluvionale, soprattutto in contesti periferici poco strutturati. All'interno delle città, a questi fenomeni di degrado ambientale si aggiunge sempre più spesso anche la perdita di funzione, di identità e di rete connettiva del fiume. E’ ormai chiaro da decenni, che gli insediamenti non possono più essere solo progettati o in parte recuperati, ma devono essere pianificati e riqualificati con un approccio integrato. In questa ottica l’eco-urbanistica deve confrontarsi con altre discipline e con continue e dinamiche evoluzioni nel “rispetto del locale e del globale”, trovando anche nella riqualificazione dei corsi d’acqua e nell'integrazione dei sistemi ambientali ed urbani che essi creano ed attraversano un elemento innovativo di ricerca e proposta metodologica e progettuale. E’ questo il contesto in cui si inserisce la proposta presentata e che interessa la riqualificazione ambientale ed urbana del tratto finale del fiume Aniene. Affluente del fiume Tevere, vi giunge attraversando parte del quadrante orientale della città di Roma e la qualità del suo ecosistema peggiora in tutto il tratto urbano, sottoposto a forti pressioni antropiche e perdendo quel legame con la città vivo fino agli anni ’70 del sec.XX. Soprattutto nelle parti periferiche e nelle aree industriali peri-urbane la città prospetta sul fiume esempi vari di “retri urbani”, la cui rigenerazione viene proposta non solo attraverso un corridoio fluviale urbano, ma anche nel recupero dei “vuoti” e nella progettare dei “waterfronts”, in un approccio integrato atto a promuovere una rinascita costruttiva di cambiamenti urbani, sociali ed economici nelle aree limitrofe. Il Fiume verrà così nuovamente concepito come “spazio pubblico”, come luogo di Sostenibilità ed Integrazione Urbana.
