Maintenance of green areas around the Municipality of Naples' public housing buildings began in early November 2026, according to ANSA.
Napoli Servizi was reassigned the work from November 2026 through 31 December 2028 through an in-house arrangement coordinated via the Public Residential Housing Service, according to ANSA and Ottopagine.
The programme covers more than 255,000 square metres of lawns and grassy surfaces and more than 9,000 linear metres of hedges, equivalent to approximately 36 football pitches.
Initial work covered Lotto G in Scampia, with more than 24,000 square metres of green area, and the green spaces serving 140 homes on viale Traiano in Soccavo, covering more than 8,000 square metres. Maintenance was ongoing at Lotto P in Scampia when the reports were published.
Dense vegetation has made some areas more complex to restore, requiring more extensive work to recover acceptable standards of care and urban decorum.
The solution for restarting the service was identified with the help of the Urban Decorum Table, established by Mayor Gaetano Manfredi and coordinated by Ciro Turiello, according to ANSA.
The work sits within a wider municipal framework for green spaces. According to the Comune, its March 2026 regulation on public and private green areas sets rules for maintenance, tree removal, park use and public-private partnerships while keeping management public.
The Comune describes daily care of the city's green areas as a strategic objective involving municipal technical staff, cooperatives, civic projects, associations, institutions and residents.
ANSA and Ottopagine do not give a complete site-by-site schedule or expected completion dates for all public housing properties. They also do not give a detailed budget or cost breakdown for the reassigned service, or say how many buildings or households will ultimately be covered beyond the aggregate area figures.
