The farmland we see today around the Milan area is the result of centuries of human intervention on the environment to regulate water, adapt the land to the emergence of new farming techniques, and to map out ownership or administrative borders. Major anthropization of the territory today overlaps with a cultural need to restore some [...]
The Milan Outer Eastern Bypass runs alongside the municipality of Pozzuolo Martesana and the Alto Martesana Supra-Municipal Interest Park (PLIS). The project for this area consists of planting tall trees along two broad swathes of some 2 ha each to buffer the long stretch running between the commercial plots envisaged under the PGT plan, south [...]
Water provides the common thread of the work Tangenziale Esterna SpA is to implement under the “Muzza-Villambrera” Special Environmental Project. The SEP calls for building a new cycle/pedestrian path linking various points of natural interest in the municipalities of Paullo and Zelo Buon Persico. From the centre of Paullo, the paths will provide sustainable mobility [...]
This Special Environmental Project principally affects the zone to the north of the built-up area of Melegnano, where the “Via Emilia” SS 9 road enters the municipality. The project objective is to augment strips of woodland to protect the two watercourses while at the same time implementing an area of shrubs to mitigate the impact [...]
The “Lambro-Melegnano” Special Environmental Project covers the municipal areas of Melegnano, Cerro al Lambro and Vizzolo Predabissi. This highly-urbanized area is crisscrossed by major road and rail links (first and foremost, the A1 Milan-Naples motorway and the Milan-Bologna railway); it is also traversed by the meandering River Lambro. It is here that Tangenziale Esterna (TE) [...]
This project spans the territories of Mulazzano, Dresano and Casalmaiocco. The area principally consists of farmland, with the exception of the southern perimeter where the entrance to the TEEM tunnel corresponds to the fringes of built-up areas in Cologno and Dresano (Villaggio Ambrosiano). The landscape is typical of the irrigated plains around Milan, with intensive [...]
This project concerns an area around Lodi (the municipalities of Comazzo, including the hamlet of Lavagna, and Merlino) and Milan (the municipalities of Paullo and Settala). It covers a broad swathe of territory dominated by the presence of the Muzza Canal, a great many water troughs and smaller watercourses, and a series of important buildings. [...]
This intervention runs along the north bank of the Naviglio Martesana waterway, specifically the stretch that belongs to the municipalities of Gessate, Gorgonzola and Bellinzago Lombardo. More specifically, the Special Environmental Project to be completed as part of construction of the Milan Outer Eastern Bypass (TEEM) affects the area between the waterway and the new [...]
The River Molgora and Villoresi Canal are major landscape features within an area strongly characterized by the presence of major road networks (the A4 “Turin-Trieste” motorway and the “Monza-Melzo” SP 13 road). Along this stretch, a Local Supra-Municipal Interest Park (PLIS) at Molgora runs along the protected watercourses, which are flanked by thin, fragmentary wooded [...]
