MilanoSesto:
an ever-evolving city
MilanoSesto is one of the most ambitious urban regeneration projects in Europe. This Greater Milan territory with an ancient industrial vocation will find new life in advanced models of social inclusion and environmental sustainability, becoming a new urban destination to live, work, study and build the future together.
The masterplan designed by Foster + Partners, one of the most prestigious architecture and design studios in the world, foresees a progressive development over the next years with greenery, residential areas, new squares, retail and executive spaces and above all, places made to connect people.

A stand dedicated to connecting people between them and with the project, enlighting our guests’ imagination addressing both adults and kids to understand what their ideal city would look like.
Cultivate Your Nature
A space characterized by natural and sustainable materials, a space we define as physically and mentally open, where each of us is able to cultivate his/her own nature. Creative laboratories, sharing of experiences, great participation: gathering our visitors’ suggestions and desires is the best way to help us build a project that will be tailored to everyone.
Our need is to reconnect people in order to define a new life balance. Building shared spaces, personal experiences, extending our private area into social space makes us feel part of a relationship with ourselves, with the others and with the place we inhabit. MilanoSesto redefines the former Falck area in Sesto San Giovanni both reconnecting its people and regenerating a community.
Come and discover the future of the former Falck Area
To celebrate the legacy of a territory that has always strived to build a bright future, we are defining a new way of living ,with integrated services designed to improve the lives of Sesto San Giovanni's citizens and of all those who wish to live their city in a natural, authentic way in the name of a strong social cohesion across the whole community.

A bridge
to the future.
Works are underway for the construction of the new Sesto San Giovanni station, a project by Renzo Piano Building Workshop and Ottavio Di Blasi & Partners that will connect the historic part of the city to the MilanoSesto area. A union made possible by the large pedestrian walkway with photovoltaic roof over the railway. Join us in following the construction of this new landmark destined to renovate the city’s skyline.

The installation phase has begun for the pedestrian walkway across the rails: not just a crossing point, but a place where citizens can meet and make things happen, filled with services for everyone. A pivotal milestone for the city, and for a new area designed for the people.
Efficient, sustainable, innovative - the city becomes smart
MilanoSesto is an opportunity to establish a new ethical development model that puts people first, embracing their needs and aspirations in tune with the wellbeing of future generations.
Conceived to fulfil the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations, the whole area will host a long-term development project that thanks to a clever use of technology will help MilanoSesto meet the highest international standards for sustainability, energetic efficiency and quality of life. A real commitment to the environment and to all the people who are going to live, study and work here.
MilanoSesto in numbers
The project covers more than 1.5 million square metres, and once the work is completed, it will host over 50,000 people between residents and city users. The MilanoSesto building site is already active, and construction will start in 2021.
The new Sesto San Giovanni station
The requalification involving the train station has been developed by the Renzo Piano Building Workshop with Ottavio Di Blasi & Partners.
The bridge-like building unfolds as a suspended walkway over the existing rails, and will join two areas previously separated by the railway. The modern structure with glass and iron photovoltaic roofing, which will host services and commercial activities above the rails, will become the access door to the area and also a privileged point of view on the whole MilanoSesto project.
The City of Health and Research
The MilanoSesto perimeter will include the City of Health and Research, a crucial public hub for clinical and scientific excellence formed by new branches of the Besta Neurological Institute and the Tumor Institute.
The project by Mario Cucinella Architects comes from an innovative approach to the people's wellbeing, with human-scale buildings immersed in greenery, as well as structures for advanced research and services dedicated to reception areas for visitors and researchers from all over the world.
The intervention area
MilanoSesto is in the north-east quadrant of Milan's metropolitan area, along one of the historic development axes of the city, coinciding with the commercial and industrial routes that have always connected Lombardy to the rest of Europe. Further proof of the area's international calling is the dense network of infrastructures and services dedicated to mobility that allow people to reach the centre of Milan, the main stations and the airports of Linate, Malpensa and Orio al Serio in a matter of minutes.

In balance between the past and the future
The intervention area hosts the now dismissed productive plants of Acciaierie Falck, a steel company that played an important role in Italy's 20th century industrial history. The buildings represent a unique architectural asset and a strong testimony to the place's identity. The masterplan intends to redevelop and revalue these buildings, turning them into breeding grounds for social life.
The beating heart of a new community
The housing is designed to welcome a new idea of living, where it's the home that adapts to the people.
The project will merge public greenery, squares, innovative retail concepts and executive spaces, in addition to a diverse range of living solutions made to fulfil the needs of citizens of different ages and aspirations. An open, inclusive community is born - one deeply rooted in meeting, sharing spaces and exchanging resources with other generations.
More space for everyone's needs
The majority of homes will be available to rent with affordable rents, leaving the tenants always free to weigh new solutions in line with their evolving needs.

Working in MilanoSesto
Home, green home
The recovery of such a large industrial area is an unmissable opportunity to requalify the environment in the whole area. The green space design is assigned to international landscape architecture studio LAND and provides for the construction of one of the biggest parks in the Milan metropolitan area, connected to Parco Nord and Parco Media Valle del Lambro by cycle trails and footpaths. A green isle where redeveloped industrial archaeologies merge harmoniously to offer residents, city users and visitors a flexible space to host events, open air sports and strolls in a natural landscape.
Connections and mobility
It will be a new place to live and explore - moving around will be enjoyable and going back will always be easy. Besides being near the train and underground station of Sesto San Giovanni, the MilanoSesto area is just minutes away from the main outer roads of Milan, letting people reach the city centre, motorways and the rest of Lombardy.
Internal transport will be assisted by zero-impact smart solutions, in line with the future trends of sustainable mobility that combine bicycles and next-generation electric vehicles.
