CONCLUSION Systemic Analysis

The first synthesis map aims to understand and draw conclusions from the landscape ecology structure of the axis. It can be noticed that a lot of degraded areas are close to core areas and water bodies and have the potential to be improved. There is also a lot of potential to connect the cores through existing ecological corridors which are not connected to each other. There are few points of criticality where the high infrastructure connects with the ecological corridor along the Naviglio. In the map, the potential areas of improvement or addition of cores are marked and how they can be connected with the existing landscape system of the area. Analyzing the infrastructure system in relation with the building typologies and the cultural asset it’s possible to conclude that two main critical areas. Firstly, concerning the area closer to the center of Milan it’s visible that the area, mainly industrial and commercial, is a developed infrastructure node, but regarding the sociocultural aspect, there is a lack of activities even if the area is closer to the Naviglio axis and two important natural areas. On the other hand, the second critical area presents the opposite situation. As a matter of fact, along the axis in correspondence with a residential area, it’s possible to find several socio cultural activities, mainly regarding the local scale, but also a lack of a good accessibility. Moreover, even the bicycle line is developed along the axis, but considering the transversal connections with other natural or socio-cultural activities the system has to be improved.
