The most famous Italian and international architects have worked in recent years or are working today in Milan, with new ideas to change the look of the city. Porta Nuova and CityLife are the two major urban developments, but Milan offers also large industrial sites reused from the world of fashion and design and important projects for art and culture of international level.

Porta Nuova

The area is one of the largest urban regeneration projects all over Europe, that reconnects three parts of the city thanks to a continuous pedestrian system and a large public park. Designed by 25 international architects, it is a symbol of the rebirth of the city.
