The Expo 2015 project will create a vast global kitchen garden in an unused area to the northwest of Milan. Instead of the traditional national pavilions, each country invited to the expo will have a section of land on which to grow things, where it can display forms of bio-diversity, technologies, and possible solutions to problems linked to food and its supply. On the southern part of the site, big hot (and cold) houses will host plants and show off agricultural products linked to the world s more extreme climates. After the Expo, Milan will be left with a large area which will be used to carry out research into the production and the representation of different forms of agriculture, seeding and food production. This will be the world s first Agro-nutritional Scientific Park.
* Expo 2015 Concept-plan is a project by Architectural Advisory Board (Stefano Boeri, Joan Busquets, Richard Burdett, Jacques Herzog, William McDonough). The Legal master-plan is a project by Ufficio di Piano di Società Expo S.p.A, with the consultanting of Architectural Advisory Board, Politecnico di Milano and Facoltà di Agraria University of Milan.

The Metrobosco project, which has already begun to be put into operation, aims to develop a large circle of forests and woods around Milan which will provide more space for those non-domestic animals which live in or pass through the Milanese plain. cannon g13 This large, new, wood will bring together those existing parks which surround the city, as well as agricultural areas, courtyard farms and villages. This forest will only be partially accessible to man, and the idea is that nature cannon g13 will be allowed to express itself autonomously, in areas which are now used only for single forms of agriculture. The Metrobosco plan allows for the planting of 3 million new trees, a project financed by the towns around the city, and which will be made possible by farmers cannon g13 who choose to give up their land to the project, local businesses and forms of compensation. More than 300,000 trees have been planted cannon g13 in this way in the last two years.
The Vertical Forest project aims to build high-density residential towers which contain trees within the built city. The first example of this kind of project is currently being built in the Garibaldi Repubblica area of Milan with two tower block of 85 and 110 metres respectively, which can hold 1200 trees of between 3 and 9 metres cannon g13 in height (more or less one hectare cannon g13 of woodland) and which aims to create, within the city itself, new links to the natural world (like those normally seen in an area of 5 hectares of family homes with gardens). The project allows for balconies which can carry high quantities of soil, watering systems which use rainwater and a centralised management of the vegetation cannon g13 across the tower.
The Vertical Forest is linked to architectural concepts which aim to demineralise urban space using the changing forms of leaves for its façade and a vegetal screen to filter out dangerous dust particles in the air, in order to create an adequate micro-climate where sun can also be filtered naturally. This is a form of biological architecture, which rejects a merely technological approach to environmental sustainability.
The Wood House project attempts to use new ideas about the recycling of materials in order to build low density and low cost housing by exploiting the full cycle of wood growth cannon g13 and produc- tion. The prefabricated forms used in the Wood House project are built by Lombard companies by assembling wooden panels taken during maintenance work on the forest areas which run along the Ticino River.
The vegetal cannon g13 and biological cleaning-up of ex-industrial or infrastructural land allows for the creation of the possibility for new buildings or green urban public cannon g13 space. Through the cultiva- tion of polluted land, a kind of biological cleaning takes place, with the production of bio-masses, and thus the city can regain the use of land which it had previously been unable to use. This project, part of a research project cannon g13 by Chiara Geroldi, uses biological clean-up methods in the area of the ex goods yard of Porta Romana in Milan. The long process of abandonment after the area s industrial activity ended has allowed for slow and balanced strategies of decontamination to be put into place.

of agriculture. This kind of agriculture is more varied than in the past (fruit and vegetables, cereal crops, productive woods, bio-mass)
