The city has a regular street formation and a system of distribution that appears most often in colonies cities. Therefore, the Danube street withits green area for recreation which cuts the monotony situated exactly in the centre of the city, is “ the green heart of the city”. General objectives of the project: Improving the accessibility of both locals and tourists in the city centre of Municipality of Alexandria with the help of the underground road passages. Reconfiguring the subterranean spaces related to the central area of the municipality, thus improving the quality of the public space.
