shame that the most important document of five years in office has come to light through a process that has the tragicomic and unbelievable. And the document that decides the fate of our Milan for the next twenty pairs as far removed as imaginable from a vision of sustainable modern city.
And then there are two cases: either the Mayor Moratti, during his many travels, pretends not to see what are the virtuous practices to which are aligning all European cities (redefining spaces on a human scale, with priority to not increase the density of population, public parks, especially the fourth-, conversion of brownfield sites, which means no-ricementificazione, the the gradual replacement of private and public mobility point of view of integrated transport network between center and periphery), or the mayor sees and how, learn, perhaps envy, announced to his advisors, but then the heat of his office in Palazzo Marino does not have the strength, the will, nor even the convenience of those who oppose the pressures of a new idea of \u200b\u200bthe city, does not want to hear. So far disinterested.
So that's it. So the unfortunate PGT takes shape.
Twenty-four million cubic meters of building volume, new homes for five hundred thousand people, increased density estimated from seven to twelve thousand people per square kilometer.
What then one could argue, "Well, but this is a far-sighted plan! We will even give a home to all the new Milan in the coming years, not to mention the immigrants who arrived ..."
But no. Why in Milan, the housing problem (but also in grocery stores), certainly does not arise in terms of volume. Not only the vacant houses are about eighty thousand (nine hundred thousand more square feet of vacant offices and tens of thousands of shops empty), but especially the increase in population over the next twenty years, optimistically estimated at more than one hundred thousand to several sources, is not such as to justify all that cement.
perilous when one considers that the houses, especially those in the new quarters, they sell only if there are transport, schools and services (do they know something the district Adriano, in zone 2). But this opens another chapter, with that "black hole of nine billion" himself admits that the City had yet to be found to achieve the very transport, those schools, those services.
short, a clear signal that something stinks.
writes the newspaper Done, it is what can not be seen then, the chips are down, weighed by the balance of the interests of a few usual suspects: banks and large manufacturers, which is always better to have the part propia, considering the influence they have on major newspapers of the city ...
And all this just to talk about the content ...
Why then, to be honest, you should open an entire chapter on the barbaric way in which it was carried through to the final yes Floor: extrems approved in a sensational coup (now almost no longer news) with which the quattromilasettecento proposals of civil society in Milan (two thousand and amendments of the opposition) have been summarily settled with voting summary.
proposals that were a sign of how much the city had sought to have their say on the design of their future, however, precisely in line with one of the best new features introduced with the establishment of PGT: to foster public participation at an early stage of the process .
Ironically, the attempt to participate collided with a wall.
will not be easy, but there's no better way to start rolling up your sleeves if not, continuing to think and propose innovative ideas for a city that represents a bit 'more. Where do we start?
