General Overview

As seen on the map, the area of the proposed Grande Parco Forlanini extends from the eastern side of Milan to the Idroscalo, in the Segrate municipality. The site is a par t of the green belt surrounding Milan, and is also in the course of the Lambro River, which highlights its impor tance as a natural environment in the metropolitan area.

The area’s direct connection to Linate Airpor t makes it a welcoming point for several visitors arriving in the city every year, but it’s still poor public transpor t accessibility hampers the access by local residents. The upcoming metro line M4 is seen as an enhancement tool towards the integration of the site to the rest of the city. Site City border Main roads
