This transformative urban redevelopment project falls under Scope 1 of the ADP (Area Development Plan) for the revitalization of the former Fiat Alfa-Romeo industrial site in Garbagnate Milanese. The ambitious vision aims to completely reimagine the area’s layout, shifting from outdated infrastructure to a sustainable, green urban hub.
A key focus is the elimination of surface parking zones, replaced by expansive green spaces designed to seamlessly connect with the surrounding local park network and pedestrian/cyclist greenways. This ecological transition promotes biodiversity, active mobility, and community well-being, aligning with Lombardy’s environmental goals.
By integrating native landscaping, walkable pathways, and cycling routes, the project not only enhances urban livability but also serves as a model for post-industrial regeneration, turning a relic of automotive history into a forward-thinking, eco-district that prioritizes people over cars.
