In Milan, on September 10th, major construction works, financed with €1.5 million from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (Pnrr) funds, started to reshape the shopping street Corso Buenos Aires, in the section from Piazza Oberdan to Via Regina Giovanna. The project will continue with the second and third sections. From Piazza Oberdan to Via Scarlatti, the works will be carried out by the Municipality of Milan, while from Via Scarlatti to Via Pergolesi (where the intervention ends), they will be conducted by two private entities as part of development agreements. To facilitate the work, new traffic regulations have been introduced, including a 30 km/h speed limit zone. For the section overseen by the municipality, the work will proceed in short phases, first on the even-numbered side and then on the odd-numbered side, to minimize the impact of the construction site.

After the renovation, the new Corso Buenos Aires is expected to be more pedestrian and cyclist-friendly, thanks to the widening of sidewalks and the inclusion of flower beds and plantings of various sizes, which will make walking more enjoyable, not only aesthetically but also environmentally, as they will help counteract heat islands. Benches and bike racks will also be installed.
