The project
Forestami is the project promoted by the Metropolitan City of Milan, the Municipality of Milan, the Regional Council of Lombardy, Parco Nord Milano, Parco Agricolo Sud Milano, ERSAF (Regional Agency for Agricultural and Forestry) and Fondazione di Comunità Milano, which involves the planting of 3 million trees by 2030, in order to clean the air, improve living conditions in the wider area of the city of Milan, and counter the effects of climate change. This project is the outcome of the research carried out by the Polytechnic University of Milan and the support of Falck Foundation and FS Sistemi Urbani.
The collaboration between all the promoters has made it possible to achieve a strategic view on the role of greenery in the metropolitan area of Milan and to start a process of registering, enhancing and implementing all green infrastructures with trees, in order to promote urban forestry projects and policies as well as the construction of a Metropolitan Park in Milan.
Forestami is an ambitious project that aims to involve all citizens who live and breathe the Metropolitan City of Milan to mitigate the effects of climate change. Individuals, public entities, associations and private companies unite in their contribution through actions that have a positive impact on our future and the new generations’ future as well.
