Sustainable recovery and urban public transformation of a former military park.

As a result of the pandemic, public places may undergo significant changes, including new spatial planning and major behavioral shifts. Although public space can still be a place for social interaction, it may be more difficult for the unplanned and spontaneous one. Applied research is described through the project of requalification of an area related to the former military park in Lentate sul Seveso (MB), in Italy. The project proposes the realization of student residences integrated with multifunctional spaces for local communities, emphasizing the importance of structure recovery and sustainable urban transformation. The project's final result is the creation of a space for aggregation as an extension of urban public space, which can enhance the productive resources of the area and its history, looking beyond the local dimension.
