Milan Navigli Canal Challenge , Mailand/ Italien

Verfahrensart
Offener Wettbewerb

Wettbewerbsaufgabe
Milan has a long history of navigable canals that formed a fundamental part of the city’s economy and the growth of the whole region, providing a direct connection between the northern lakes down to the sea.
Within Milan, the Navigli canal transported both people and goods throughout the city, but at the start of the 20th century the city’s inner canals were covered to add to the city’s road system. The Navigli canals now run underneath the streets but have the potential to be rediscovered and bring back Milan’s “water city charm”.
For the Milan Navigli Canal Challenge, participants are tasked with conceptualising the Milan of the future and envisioning a symbiotic relationship between the city and the Navigli canal. Projects should focus on ​​environmentally-friendly design, mobility, and the relationships between water and urban spaces.
The Milan Navigli Canal Challenge is being run in collaboration with Riaprire i Navigli Association - „Reopen the Navigli Association‘‘ and Primitivo studio Milan who are proposing a complete renovation of the existing canal. Their goal is to create a new way for the city to operate, with competition entries to play a big part in swaying public opinion on the subject.
