Milan Public Space

Public space has become, during the pandemic, one of the main actors in the urban regeneration of cities, undertaken by major international metropolises to address issues of social, economic, and health inequality and to fight the causes of the ongoing climate change: from being a possible pandemic scapegoat, everyone's space has been transformed into a lifeline, into a symbolic place of the equality of people, capable of providing city inhabitants with additional possibilities of living outside the limited residential spaces, in which we have been forced for long months. Starting with a mapping, cataloguing and analysis of Milan's public spaces, gathering the voices of technical and political actors and through observations, stories and questionnaires to citizens, the authors have proposed some strategies for improving everyone's space.
