FILI: envisioning the future Lombardy megacity
From Milan to Malpensa and beyond, FILI reimagines railways and highways as ecological corridors. In an interview with Il Quotidiano Immobiliare, Andreas Kipar explores how infrastructures, nature, and community can grow together through a broader vision for Lombardy, fueled by its landscape.
What role can infrastructure play in shaping future cities and regions?
In a video interview by Il Quotidiano Immobiliare, Andreas Kipar discusses the FILI project as a case study in redefining infrastructure not as a barrier, but as an enabler of regeneration. FILI is among the leading urban forestry and mobility strategies in Europe, connecting Milan to Malpensa Airport and the Ticino Park through 54 kms of green infrastructure.
Kipar highlights the core principles of the project: creating continuity between fragmented landscapes, reducing the environmental footprint of mobility, and turning disused or marginal spaces into green, productive areas. He reflects on how public-private partnerships, long-term vision, and integrated planning are essential to transform infrastructure into connective, livable space.
The interview offers insight into the challenges and opportunities of implementing large-scale ecological transition, and how design can foster both environmental value and civic pride.
