MILAN'S  DARSENA

The Main Project:

The main project for the requalification of Navigli, peculiarity the harbour, is very important for the city development but above all for the next EXPO in 2015 when the most important financial metropolis in Italy will be visited by millions of people from every country. This event will be the turning point for our city and this project will be the centre.

The principal idea has been the re-opening of the Ticinello and other important water-courses that connected all the Navigli in Darsena where the boat can load and unload goods of every type. Moreover the planners decided to use these river to transport people every day to one of the most important area in Milan, the square of Porta Ticinese where traffic will be reduced increasing pedestrians areas.

An other important plan will be into effect belong this water-courses where will be able to walk between water and green in quietness and without warring about cars and motorcycles thanks to the creation of a pedestrian areas only.

The works will end in December 2014 and during these the workers found an archaeological rest from the Romans Empire that will be protected from the corrosion with specific materials.

All the people who live in Milan hope that this project will be carried out in time and that it will be useful to restart the economy in Italy.
