Urban regeneration and planning initiatives discussed in Verona and Milan

Urban regeneration and territorial planning are central themes in recent discussions across Italian cities. In Verona, the group Verona Domani presented a vision for urban development focused on environmental sustainability, architectural quality, and social equity. The group criticized the current administration's Territorial Planning (PAT), arguing it is overly ideological. Key points of contention include infrastructure projects such as the “medianina” road connection through the Adige Sud Park and the future of the Marangona area as a strategic productive hub.

In Milan, the 2026 Urban Regeneration Forum is scheduled for October 13–15 at the ADI Design Museum. The event aims to address metropolitan transformations, accessible housing, environmental protection, and revisions to the Territorial Government Plan (PGT). The forum will feature discussions on climate change adaptation, public space valorization, and metropolitan governance, including an inter-institutional meeting involving Mayor Giuseppe Sala and representatives from other major cities.
