X-Change is a major multimodal logistics hub planned for a former railway yard in Alessandria, Italy. The project will integrate logistics with energy production and ecological regeneration. Covering 187 hectares, it will connect Northern Italy's freight network and facilitate fast rail freight connections. A significant feature is a 2-kilometer-long photovoltaic canopy, generating clean energy and providing walkable paths. The urban plan includes public spaces, cultural amenities, and a park to promote community engagement and ecological reconnection.
The project reimagines a traditionally introverted typology, rail distribution infrastructure by integrating logistics with energy production, ecological regeneration, and public life.
The 187-hectare site will become a key node within Northern Italy's freight network, connecting east to west, from Genoa to Piacenza.
The design introduces a 2-kilometer-long photovoltaic canopy, which will generate clean energy while offering a walkable and bikeable route across the site.
X-Change is not just a logistical hub-it's a new way of thinking about how different types of infrastructure can be integrated.
