Open space conservation

This database contains information on projects funded under the multi-year call for proposals titled “enhancing open space areas and urban green spaces” (2010-2013).

The database 

  • provides an inventory of existing open space areas and gives them visibility;
  •  helps circulate valuable project ideas that may inspire other ideas and projects.
  •  provides information on the rehabilitation and conservation work that has already been done

The database also contains the findings of another project backed by Fondazione Cariplo, namely a project conducted by researchers from the Milan Polytechnic Architecture and Planning Department that investigated environmental effects of changes in vegetation cover as a result of land use in Lombardy and the provinces of Novara and Verbania. The database helps disseminate this information as well.
