The current situation in the city of Milan is characterized by a relatively dense concentration of areas for activities, public spaces, and public transportation systems, which leads to urban issues such as access to the central areas, disruption of continuity, and the distribution of public spaces and activity areas.
Milan is expected to grow significantly, making it necessary to expand the existing compact city model to areas that will be the northern center of Italy. Therefore, there is a need for spaces that can accommodate people and activities that will occur in the future.
The development of abandoned areas is thus a very important issue and greatly impacts urban development. The development approach must integrate the identity and history of the city to reflect the lifestyle of the people of Milan and to facilitate exchanges in terms of art and culture, as well as experiential exchanges among the younger generation, the older generations, locals, tourists, and everyone who comes to Milan.
