The winning design for a New Archaeological Walk linking Rome's ancient landmarks was unveiled at a presentation on the rooftop terrace of Trajan's Forum on Tuesday. Rome-based architectural and urban planning studio Labics was named as the winner of the international design competition launched last October, coming first out of 23 proposals.

The Nuova Passeggiata Archeologica will incorporate new pedestrian spaces, green areas, balconies, raised walkways and cycle-pedestrian paths along the route. The plan reimagines the public spaces and pedestrian routes linking Rome's ancient sites in a "large pedestrian ring" around the Roman Forum, Colosseum, the Baths of Caracalla and the Circus Maximus, incorporating also the Caelian, Palatine and Capitoline hills.
