Arup’s masterplan, named Supernova, is a pedestrian and bike-friendly mixed-use urban regeneration scheme featuring smart living accommodation, student housing as well as retail, office and a new hotel facility.

Located to the north of the city on the former Necchi area, the Pavia’s Supernova redevelopment will have access to a new Pavia Nord station on the SS13 line, connecting to Milano Rogoredo in 19 minutes.

Arup Italy urban designer lead Stefano Recalcati said: “Quality of life and proximity to nature, combined with solid accessibility and connectivity links, will put medium-sized cities such as Pavia in a position to attract more businesses – and new residents. Sustainable redevelopments such as Our Supernova masterplan create the conditions for this step change.”
