INFRASTRUCTURAL CONTEXT
Milano Santa Giulia is well connected to Milan’s local urban infrastructures, and it also has access to a larger national and international transit network. Linate airport, which is Milan’s primary airport for short-haul international and domestic flights, is 10 minutes away by car, which is considered relatively closed and optimal for Santa Giulia, allowing it to design a commercial, residential, and sport-related masterplan. Another strong connection point for such area is Autostrada 51 (A51) which is one of Italy’s main arteries, connecting the north of Italy to the South, allowing a quick reach from Santa Giulia to Bologna in 45 minutes.
The intervention area, which includes both the former Redaelli and the former Montedison industrial group, covers about 120 hectares and is southeast of the municipal area. The new district extends to the Viale Ungheria settlements to the north, and to the old Rogoredo district to the south, bordering the railway to the west and the ring road to the east.

By rail, the new district is served by the Rogoredo F.S. connected with the Bologna-Milan section on a national scale. In conjunction with the Rogoredo station, there is a metro stop of Line 3, another very important connection at the urban level, as well as a redevelopment element of the area. As we can see, only the south-west area of Santa Giulia is served by the two infrastructural axes, while the north area, that of Montecity, relies only on local tram mobility.
Santa Giulia district is located in an area with high infrastructural development; however, accessibility is not guaranteed at optimal levels for the whole neighborhood. As the southern part of the district is highly connected with railways, metro lines, and urban and local highways such as Via Emilia and A51, the eastern part is connected with the adjacent East Ring Road through 3 junctions along with the Bologna route, the northern part remains quite poor in connectivity as it can be only reached by local transportation such as trams as busses. Such urban planning will have an impact on the distribution of sectors and zoning areas whilst ensuring an extension of tram and bus lines through the neighborhood to provide better and faster connectivity between the northern and southern part of Santa Giulia.
