Milan is going to have its own High Line park soon An elevated park that will rise in the next few years near Fondazione Prada

Since Expo 2015, Milan's urban redevelopment plans have not stopped and, in view of the upcoming Olympics, have indeed increased. Among these there was also the Scalo Porta Romana, with its twenty hectares of unused space in the Lodi area that was sold last autumn to the urban company Coima S.G.R, consisting of various companies and investors but above all Prada Holding, the group controlled by Patrizio Bertelli and Miuccia Prada. Yesterday the final project for the redevelopment of the area signed by a team of architectural firms composed of Outcomist, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, PLP Architecture and Carlo Ratti Associati was finally presented, which will host a huge park, including an Italian version of New York's Highline Park, offices and an Olympic village that, after Cortina 2026, will be converted into student homes and residences.

The development strategy will also be implemented in compliance with the Paris Agreements, the European Green Deal and the National Recovery and Resilience Plan drawn up by the Italian government according to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. In short, the construction work will be completely sustainable, and the structures of the park will aim to support decarbonization, enhance the well-being of citizens and enhance biodiversity.
