In a future Rome, the citizens have thrown off their complacency and have asked its leaders to re-establish Romes greatness by transforming it into a contemporary setting. They asked for a healthier way of life. Free from the constant noise and pressure of car traffic in the streets. They want to encourage bike and pedestrian traffic on through the urban fabric of the city. The first order of business was to expand the tram access through out the city in a way that leaves all places connected by a short ride and an easy walk. The leaders of society have targeted the almost forgotten area near Largo Argentina to be restored to greatness. This area, found in area 8 as divided by the “Didascalo” plan, was once a grand place in ancient Rome that was hidden under layers of history. The transformed city translates this lost meaning from the past into the present context. The spiritual center of Largo Argentina has been opened to the public as a park and gives access to the temples and the cat sanctuary. The souther border of the site has received a new multipurpose convention center and theater complex to foster public interaction and increase the strength of Rome’s social bonds. To the north of the site, the ancient baths of agrippa ruins have been incorporated into a modern bath and athletic facility open to anyone with a small fee. It is a part a vigorous public works project aimed at increasing the fitness level of the average Roman, therefore increasing wellness. Farther North, the Sopra Minerva obelisk has been transformed into a place for public health services. The church built on the site originally was actually built on top of a temple to Isis, worshiped as the ideal mother and wife as well as the matron of nature and magic. Isis was know as the goddess of simplicity that cared about the sick and downtrodden. The health and wellness center is meant to reinvigorate her relevance to Roman culture by providing a means for the sick or tired to receive medical attention or comfort. Some buildings along major routes through the city have also had their lower floors opened up to more public access to foster a community environment of interaction.
