u/404Milano

Milan is known for design, fashion, finance, and increasingly for skyline development.
But what if part of that same urban ambition went into something radically different?
A 200-hectare botanical and scientific park: climate zones, research spaces, educational areas, public landscapes.

Could large ecological infrastructure become part of a modern European city’s identity—not just towers, offices, and luxury real estate?
I explored this idea in an Italian article and I’m curious how architects and urban planners would react.
