MILAN 2020

Adaptation Strategy

The Milano 2020 Adaptation Strategy offers a new vision for the city of Milan and its citizens with an adaptation to the virus and/or future potential crisis. In fact, this global crisis calls for changes in urban planning and questioning ourselves ‘what kind of society and community do we want to build after the crisis?’. In order to answer this question, it is necessary to adapt to a ‘new normal’. References scenarios, specific conditions and people have been targeted. The aim is to invest and protect the citizens, and to reboots the economy. It can be summarize as the following : reorganizing the city’s schedule and the use of roads and public spaces, rediscovering the neighborhood dimensions with everything within 15 minutes, focusing on vulnerable communities as well as preserving employment level.

In fact, since the beginning of the crisis in January 2020, our vision to urbanism changed and a new approach to design is therefore needed. This adaptation document is then very important and must be studied for any future projects as it is a guide to more sustainable design.
