It was a pleasure and an honor to host the students of the Department of Building and Real Estate of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, visiting CityLife as part of their International Study Tour to Italy. Accompanied by professors Dr Emmanuel Kingsford Owusu and Dr Yuting Hou, the students were guided by Paolo Micucci, CEO of CityLife S.p.A, to discover the successful history of the CityLife urban regeneration project, and its current and future development.
The Generali Tower was the starting point to explore the unique CityLife urban setting, which integrates office towers, residences and shopping district, immersed in one of the largest and most popular parks in Milan.
The management of the area as a smart city, the park focused on security, wellbeing, art and events, as well as the construction site of the new City Wave building, raised great interest and questions.
Thanks to the organizers and to the participants for this interesting exchange opportunity!
