Milan’s green future: parks as drivers of urban transformation
In an interview with la Repubblica, Andreas Kipar reflects on how Milan is evolving through its green spaces, highlighting parks as the structural backbone of a living, interconnected city.
“Cities are like organisms: they thrive through the relationships between their parts. Parks are no longer isolated spaces, but the foundation of a broader system of connections,” says Andreas Kipar, CEO and co-founder of LAND.
From Parco Sempione to Parco Trotter, Milan’s green spaces reveal diverse identities and roles, contributing to a richer and more resilient urban environment. The focus shifts from individual places to a continuous network of green and blue infrastructures, linking neighborhoods, fostering biodiversity, and shaping new ways of experiencing the city.
At the core of this transformation is also the active contribution of citizens and communities, whose engagement becomes an essential driver in shaping and caring for urban landscapes.
