Since 2006 public and private players have selected the area for the development of major urban establishments devoted to research, such as Bovisa Triennale, Mario Negri Institute, Politecnico (engineering, architecture and design divisions), Galleria del Vento (wind tunnel) and also Telelombardia and a Yacht Design institute.
This area has become a very interesting spot because the district is going through a major redevelopment thanks to the design of residential, business, study, research and leisure areas which will grow over a land of approximately 10 million square meters.
A new landmark location that has the objective of being a meeting ground between the academic and business world.
Bovisa it’s a strategic area of extensive development due to the significant presence of students, researchers and professors (about thirty thousand people) around the University Politecnico di Milano.
It is a former industrial neighborhood destined to flourish as the city’s new scientific and technological center. Yet the dialogue with the social and architectural fabric of old Milan is kept intact, characterized also by the widespread presence of small artisans and their shops.
