also that along these borders

patchwork of cities.
Nuona vigevanese-emmelunga
This is the territory in the North West of Milan, around and in the immediate vicinity of the By-Pass Road, where the Communes of Settimo Milanese, Cusago, Trezano Sul Naviglio and Cesano Boscone shares borders with each other and with the
Municipality of Milan. Here, the By-Pass road play an important role as the “actual” physical boundary in the territory,
overshadowing the influence of the institutional boundaries. In this territory, there seems to be an interesting array of land
development that does not to follow any particular rule of urban development. A patchwork of commercial, industrial,
agricultural and residential development dot and intersperse each other, with the end results being a network of communities, which are close to each other but exhibit very strong local identities. Of course, this also presents the problems of
exclusion and neglect to some these communities.

DISTRICT
The territory is diverse in terms of the opportunities and problems that it presents. Equally diverse is the services and
infrastrucure that it offers to its immediate environment and Milan Urban Region. One such service is the “EXPO 2015”, and
the “Ippodromo” which lies in the north of our territory.
A close view however, reveals a north and south distinction in the characteristics of the territory. In the north are the concentration of sports facilities, which forms part of the “Sport City”, as envisioned by Province of MIlan. There is however no
immediate connection between these facilities as they lie on either side of the By-Pass road. In the south, is the more hard
“commercial district”, that is composed of shopping malls, industry and industrial warehouses, which are organised along
infrastructural elements, paying not attention to Instutional boundaries.

Located between the two vocations - sport city and

Hence the area has no vertical relationship.
SAFEGUARDED PARK
The Parco Agricolo Sud is potected by the
province of Milan from the construction of
buildings, this is a good element, but at the
same time that fact doesn’t allow a big
modification of the area, a green vocation is
the only way.

about borders
Problem solving
Our proposal to resolve and change the situation that characterize the west
that
periphery of Milan is to build a green network, an
replaces the destiny and the vocation as a rear of the area, a new front for
each adjacent municipality .
The project occupies a surface area of 940 ha and its realization is based on
already existing potentialities and new emerging trends in the territory.
Nevertheless, at the same time our idea is to avoid negative behaviours such
as sprawl, that fills in empty spaces, or the individual attitude of the governance system, that does not care about the outside.
, an urban park
For this reasons the objective is to create a
utilized and populated, no more deserted, no loger mistreated, a park that
overcomes borders and goes beyond them.
Make boundaries crossed.
A new flagship for the west Milan periphery.
The strategic lines to achieve this objective is to increase the functions in the
area, to improve the existing ones creating a network and to build reference
points and excellences in the theme.
Afterwards there will be an increase of the mixitè and consequently a sort
of city effect: which will bring the city and its benefits in the country, but at
the same time preserving the multifacited identity of the area.
We therefore create a new kind of marginal land, not the garbage can of each
municipality, not the no mansland, a 24hour area , a proper new considera.

Scenario
the proposal

project
The area of interest for the creation of the park is located in a predominantly agricultural land
which manifests in an increasing use of space.
For this reason, to create a park, firstly we have to create the perception in the minds of
inhabitants and to do this we decided to develop some trigger actions.
These actions consist of elements already present in the territory, with trends that we
have identified and which we have decided to improve and to put in a system there by
giving a new meaning.
Trigger actions

Strategy
How the park is constructed
about borders
In the area there are derelicted buildings that are places for illegal acts, and a self build
village which are prefabricated and connected to the energy system.
These fragile situations have to be rehabitated through a partly integration into the public
spaces and functions, the other must be enhanced while maintaing their original characters.
Through the addition of new activities near the border of area and through the resanation of
these situations, the security of the park could be improved.
Rehabilitative issue
2
The last strategy foresees actions aimed to create an overall view of the park through both
physical connections, such as access routes and new connections, and perceptual
connections, such as repeating elements, the landmarks and the element of urban design,
within the area involved.

guidelines that provide specific guidelines for the

The ATS constitutions will explain: the premises,

In our case the objective of the ATS is to valorize

system between them and increasing quality and

As regards the duration, the ATS is not useful only

General strategy: the building has to be built

Specific indications of PGT: It is required for
protection of the existing features of the portion
occupied by villa, gardens and buildings of
agricultural origin already restructured and
enhancement of natural elements (water and
vegetation ), taking into account the continuity
with the green area adjacent to the South of the
complex. Also needs to be guaranteed an
organic relationship with the external agricultural areas.
