FUTURE. THE MILAN OF TOMORROW:
On November 12 at the ADI Design Museum, a public discussion will be held on the future of a sustainable and accessible city.
The future of Milan, with a focus on designing a more accessible and sustainable urban environment, will be at the center of a public debate scheduled for Tuesday, November 12, at the Foyer of the ADI Design Museum.
The event, titled “The Evolution of Living and Urban Governance”, will feature key figures from the real estate and urban regeneration sectors. Moderated by Mario Breglia, the speakers — Lawyer Antonio Belvedere, Founder of BLV – Belvedere & Partners, Giovanni Verga, President of the Association of Lombardy Regional Councillors, and Architect Massimo Roj, Founder and CEO of Progetto CMR — will present the methodological approach: “Regenerating the City. The Case of the San Siro District in Milan.”
Progetto CMR and the Methodological Approach “Regenerating the City”
The study “Regenerating the City”, developed by Architect Massimo Roj with the Progetto CMR team in collaboration with Engineer Giovanni Verga and Lawyer Antonio Belvedere, proposes an innovative, scalable model at the national level to address housing challenges in modern cities — with particular attention to Public Residential Housing (ERP) districts.
At the heart of this urban regeneration approach are three fundamental pillars:
-
Housing Mix: integration of public and private housing
-
Public-Private Partnership: strategic collaboration for development
-
Densification: vertical growth and space optimization for greater urban efficiency
The goal is to rebuild social and economic cohesion in disadvantaged areas, promoting the concept of “Social Mix” (diversity of income and social class) through the design of integrated and intergenerationally inclusive functions.
The Pilot Case: Regeneration of the San Siro District in Milan
The initial analysis focused on seven public housing districts in Milan with significant structural and social redevelopment needs: Comasina, Vialba and Quarto Oggiaro, San Siro, Giambellino–Lorenteggio–Inganni, Sant’Ambrogio, Stadera, and Corvetto.
The pilot case was specifically applied to the San Siro district, in the Piazza Selinunte area — a neighborhood which, despite its 330,000 sqm of ERP and ERS housing, offers strong potential thanks to excellent public transport connections and proximity to thriving areas such as CityLife. The Progetto CMR method aims to transform these districts into models of accessible and inclusive living.
