The airport in Florence has been opened since the 4th of June 1931, but its real development started at the end of the 1940s with the dawn of touristic flights. With this increase in tourism, flight numbers intensified until 1984 when the infrastructure underwent a series of adjustments to cater for its substantial growth. This extension came at the expense of an urban area located near the airport, the "N5 suburbs", the most populated area in the city, boasting 40000 inhabitants. During take off and landing the planes are a mere 70metres from the houses, giving rise to a series of acoustic and environmental pollution concerning people who live there . For many years we have been talking about the extension of the Florence airport, the last amendment having occurred in 2006. Currently, a new runway is planned that could partially solve the problem but many criticisms have arisen from this idea, whereby the runway would extend 2km along the flat green land of Sesto Fiorentino. This area has small lakes and territories with their own unique flora and fauna and has committees whose purpose to defend this area. "Quartiere 5" is a project aimed at documenting the daily affairs of this issue, in particular the noise pollution, for which there is still no obvious solution.
