The Playground MacroLotto Zero Prato is one of the main reuse interventions planned in the broader urban regeneration project “P.I.U. Prato”, involving the area of Macrolotto Zero, a “factory-city” urban fabric, a territory highly exploited for residential and productive purposes, with no public spaces or services. Since the city’s production system began to undergo a decreasing path, the neighbourhood has witnessed the progressive abandonment by its citizens and businesses and the simultaneous settlement of the Chinese community, which has found in the area’s functional mix, the optimal conditions to live and work. The “P.I.U.
