The project emphasizes on the regeneration process of the former industrial area of Scala di Porta Romana. The transformation of this abandoned area will give Milan a new ecological as well a community space that can have a profound impact on the city itself. Many such interventions have been done all over the world and with integration of sustainable and environmentally friendly designs these kinds of interventions are thought to have good life span and continue to add to the positives of a city.

We envisage this project to be well fitted with the city’s future development plans. Moreover, this project is not restricted to just having an impact on the city but across Lombardy with tight ties to the railway systems and the agricultural fields in the south the urban regeneration process does not have limited bounds.

In addition to its infrastructural impacts we believe that this project can have a significant impact on the social fabric of the city as well. With many big cities taking up the 15 minutes neighborhood development plans this project seems to fill in the void that currently exists in this neighborhood and be the bridge to integrate social interactions within the community.

Yes, the Olympic games is the first goal but with this project the larger picture also seems exciting. The project gives Milan a new perspective and the Olympic games is the push everyone has been waiting for to realise such a project. The project encourages slow mobility systems, permeability, co-living etc. And the structure is seen as a metamorphic structure that caters to the growing needs of the society.

Furthermore, this project emphasizes the concept of layering and promotes the idea of ‘Megaspacestructures’ and we foresee this concept to have great potential in tending to all the needs of the city be it infrastructure, ecological and social needs.
