‘Miracoli a Milano’ - Scali MilanoMilan, Italy

EMBT Team is called to give a “vision” for seven former railway yards (scali) in Milan,

icons of the past Golden Age of the city’s railways. These areas are today a fracture

between adjacent neighbourhoods. Therefore, their future transformation will allow an

organic development of Milan, innovative and at the same time deeply linked with its

history.

Milan, together with other European metropolis, is questioning about the main issues in

terms of urban development. In particular, it focuses on new concepts such as urban

agriculture, participatory and circular economy, soft mobility, sustainability, etc, that

represent the aim to re-shape the city from now on as a place in which you can fi nd the

missing connection between human dimension and nature.

The Water will be a support and a medium for this regeneration: it will be the

“miraculous” element linking City, Nature, History and different users such as

pedestrians, bicycles and skaters, and transforming Milan into a more comfortable and

happy place to live.

EMBT team aim is to give each area its own identity: for this reason they will have a

new name, where the term “Scalo” will be put beside a keyword that identifi es the

specifi c vocation of every railway yard.
