On March 20, 2024, Milan took a significant step toward a greener future. The Urban Resilience Department of the Municipality of Milan, with technical support from LINKS and under the framework of UP2030, hosted a visioning workshop focused on designing urban green spaces to enhance ecosystem services for climate mitigation and adaptation. This event was a key part of Milan's ongoing efforts to improve the environment and enhance citizens' quality of life.
The workshop concentrated on two main themes. First, participants explored strategies to create green spaces that not only beautify the city but also play a crucial role in combating climate change and adapting to its impacts. Second, the event delved into understanding the environmental, social, and economic impacts of climate adaptation measures in urban areas.
Various departments within the Municipality of Milan came together, creating a collaborative environment where ideas and expertise were exchanged freely. This interdisciplinary approach is essential for developing comprehensive urban planning and design strategies that maximize the benefits of green spaces.
By prioritizing these green spaces and their numerous advantages, Milan is paving the way for a brighter, more sustainable future for its residents.
