A green innovation park at the Bovisa Polytechnic University in Milan

In an industrial archeology zone beyond the tracks of the Bovisa station, lies an area called the Drop (la Goccia) for its shape. Abandoned factories and gas works dominate a vast, largely uninhabited area with tall trees, which sits next to the new subsidiary of the Polytechnic University of Milan, which has here its design, energy, and aerospace engineering departments. A recent agreement with the Municipality of Milan calls for the urban renewal of the whole area, which will be transformed into a green park of innovation. Design and engineering students of all nations will finally have an apt green zone where they can take a break and discuss their ideas and blueprints.
