New City – on the Site of Freight Yards

Cino Zucchi Architetti, MAD Architects, Mecanoo, Miralles Tagliabue EMBT and Stefano Boeri Architetti are among five architecture studios to unveil proposals to completely transform unused railways across Milan, creating high-density housing and swaths of greenery. The ideas for the regeneration project – called Scali Milano – were presented at last year’s Milan design week. The five proposals emerged from a workshop held in December 2016, which invited architects to reimagine the brownfield sites of Scalo Farini, Porta Genova, Porta Romana, Lambrate, Greco, Rogoredo and San Cristoforo as public parks, social housing and hubs for sustainable modes of transport.

The Green River proposal put forward by Milan-based Stefano Boeri and his team – an “urban reforestation project” – we have considered above. In this brief overview we present the proposals of other architectural teams.
