Il racconto dell'assemblea dell'8 luglio scorso presso la Circoscrizione Nord pubblicato da Andrea Balli:
A distanza di cinque mesi dalla costituzione del comitato cittadino “Per Maliseti. No cemento” contro il progetto di nuova lottizzazione previsto tra Maliseti e Galceti nei terreni attualmente a destinazione agricola ai piedi del Monteferrato compresi tra via Coppola, via del Gorello, via Galceti e via San Martino for Galceti - during a public meeting held in the council chamber of the North District - was the official birth of a new committee "Galceti no concrete" in defense of the green Galceti, the most significant "green lungs" of Prato . The initiative also follows the emergence of the social network Facebook group "Galceti free from concrete", which already includes more than 1,300 members - has seen the participation of over a hundred people, many of which have affixed their signatures Committee promoted by a group of eight residents of the area and now intends to give an organization its own, joining the "battle" iniziata già dal comitato “Per Maliseti. No cemento!”. 
L’assemblea introdotta da Luciana Becherini (portavoce del costituendo comitato) ha visto l’interessante relazione di Claudia Giorgetti , gli interventi degli architetti Paolo Paoletti e David Fanfani (urbanista e ricercatore presso l’Università degli studi di Firenze), nonché quello del presidente della circoscrizione nord Alberto Manzan . Al dibattito si sono succedute le riflessioni di ben undici cittadini (tra cui quella di Paolo Sambo , ex vicepresidente della commissione urbanistica della Circoscrizione West and now chairman of the Committee for Maliseti. No concrete, "the councilor Donzella Aurelio (Italy of Values), Francesco Fedi (Coordination Committees Citizens), Adriana Pagliai (Coordination Piana Firenze-Pistoia-Prato) and others.
From all expressed the need to shed light on handling of this massive and challenging project that would provide the structure built - from data obtained by the recent publication of the draft on the website of the province of Prato - under the pretext of expanding the Center Natural Science (with a new planetarium, an auditorium to accommodate a thousand people) providing a On completion of the enlargement of about 400 000 visitors a year - a sort of "compensation" consists of the construction of about a hundred homes "luxury" car and a parking for buses, a hotel and guest house (with at least 70 rooms), a kindergarten with swimming pool, secure a residence for the elderly. All three individuals concerned would big project with a 25 million euro . professionals in attendance confirmed that in order to carry out the work will be needed, however, a variant planning for the transition of land (about 50 hectares in all ) from agricultural to building as need the inclusion of the proposal in the Structure Plan of the City of Prato.
"Our intention - stated Luciana Becherini , spokesman for the Committee Galceti no concrete" - is to shed light on this project registered since 2007 and come to light after being closed probably in a drawer - if implemented - will have a big impact on the protected area of \u200b\u200bMonteferrato for the residual environmental connection between the flat and the area north of the hilly town of Prato. We also want to take back - perhaps around a table and institutions - as citizens policy in the noble sense of the word and say our opinion about this project to turn the twisted methodology in the name of a just cause (especially to find a solution to the critical structural Center of Natural Sciences Galceti) bluntly justify a disproportionate concreting . Too many were also in Prato in the past-projects endorsed by the municipalities which have succeeded - born to the needs of individuals (see, eg, sin or the multiplex), but never shared with the public.
architect Paolo Paoletti talking about the need to recover the transparency especially around the actors of this story has repeatedly stressed the need to stop the project raising a method of participatory planning involving the same priority in the choices people as President of the Northern District Manzan Alberto pointed out that in the absence of official confirmation by the city administration will need instead to focus the discussion on Center of Natural Sciences Galceti, of which the rent is due and where to be found a new home.
"As a committee - concluded Becherini Luciana - we are united to tell you the preservation of our environmental restrictions to protect our and future generations but also for a restructuring of the NSC but it should be environmentally sustainable ed economicamente”.
