Bro, I was born in Milan and I've lived there for almost 13 years. Then I moved away... In the last 11 years the city has changed a lot. Not only the metro has enclarged, but also a lot of renovation has been done in common streets, lots of monuments have been restored, but also a whole new skyscraper centre has been built. The expo in 2015 and the coming Winter Olympics in 2026 have been great excuses for renew the entire city.

It started in the early 2000s, now the city is in the middle of its renaissance after decades of stagnation. The change it's gone through is amazing. You should definitely come back and visit!

Considering how things work here, we're gonna have to wait a looooong time in order to see anything finished. Still waiting for the m4 which is about 4 years late

@@VanDerPol ... buildings offer*/the building* offers ...

Omg. Now I can't see her any other way

Exactly what I thought

Where are you from?

Milan is improving though, there's a project (forestami) whose aim is to plant 3 million trees by 2030 - more than 330'000 trees have been planted already. The city is adding new parks thanks to the redevelopment of its abandoned railways + it is adding a new underground line. That being said, summers have become very hot and humid, but that isn't just a problem Milan faces, it is a global problem. I also read Milan has the highest amount of LEED-certified buildings in mainland Europe.

@@carlomontecarlo7881 I read that about the trees and also about a big project of a cycling lane, still 2030 is too far away! I live in Düsseldorf and within a 1 year span I saw radical changes everywhere such as bike lane improvements, renewal of old buildings, ugly buildings torn down within few months and so on. Riding a bike in Milan (and Italy) in general is still too risky and there are around too many cars. I wish with all myself that Milan will change asap and drastically reduce pollution. If you see the european air cleanliness statystics you should figure out how far beyond is northern Italy around this thema.

@@zorrothescoundrel well, Milan is advancing at a fast pace - 10 years ago there was no Porta Nuova Business District, no CityLife, no renewed darsena. Monuments were cleaned up, new museums opened (The design museum just last year, museum of the illusions, Mudec, Armani Silos, Fondazione Prada). I think you also need to keep in mind that Milan has a huge metro area (7.4 million people according to OECD) and that the North of Italy is suffering from air pollution because of its geography (Alps and the Appennines blocking the wind that could otherwise flow from the seas). Bike lanes need to improve but they're constantly upgrading the system. BikeMi is now available in the suburbs, Area B was introduced and you cannot drive euro 4 cars in the city. The bus fleet is being upgraded (new electric vehicles). Milan was the 5th city in Europe to adopt apple pay as a method of payment in its underground network. It has tons of car/bike/escooter sharing schemes. Linate Airport will be connected to the city via the new underground line before the end of the year and the city's "S-bahn" is expanding - there will be a new "Circle line" before the 2026 winter Olympics games. I understand things could be better, but Milan and Italy are always criticised harshly just because it's normal to view Italy as a dysfunctional place when, in fact, it isn't so bad. About biking, I cycled from Treviso to ostiglia (Mantua) myself and there are many beautiful cycle paths in the North of Italy. I took the ICE Trains in Germany and they were always late - high speed trains in Italy work better in my opinion. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@basilmagnanimous7011 Excuse me, I don't like your condescending and frankly offensive comment. 1. I did not give excuses, geography does impact air quality. It is not an excuse but a fact. Citing the measures Milan is implementing to curb pollution also equals to citing facts (and it also shows Italy is trying to tackle the climate crisis in a serious way); 2. Italy's North is the most industrialised part of the country (and Italy's the 2nd largest manufacturing country in the EU). Most of Italy's population & most of Italy's industries are located in the Po Valley. Italy decreased its carbon emissions by 19,4% from 1990 to 2019 and has a lower carbon dioxide emissions per capita than the European union average (5.38 metric tons vs 6.6 metric tons in the EU) in 2018, data from the World Bank. The Netherlands (who supposedly has a better air quality record than Italy) has the 4th highest emissions value per capita (8.77). So yes, geography does impact the way air pollution behaves. 3. About your comment on Venice/Italy, I won't comment on that - I think it shows how narrow-minded, prejudiced and xenophobic you are. And that's not a good mentality.

@@basilmagnanimous7011 I think your reading comprehension skills aren't the best to say the least. No one wrote Italy is an idyllic place (even though it is a very beautiful land and I consider myself lucky to live here - so there is no need to cry for me - worry about yourself first). Maybe you're a tad frustrated, I don't know. If you're unable to process the fact that Milan is progressing and that Italy isnt a "Cemetery", that is on you. Every country has some issues with crime etc - Berlin has criminal gangs, the airport was set to open in 2012 and opened in 2021. Sweden re-examined its asylum policy. The UK also has a North-South divide. France is said to have problems with the banlieues and structural racism. The demographic problem applies to every country in Europe where the TFR is below 2.2 kids/woman. The Volkswagen emissions scandal didn't happen in Italy. The largest money laundering scandal in the EU happened in Denmark (at Danske Bank), not in Italy either. The Austrian government fell months ago because of corruption scandals. Here's a piece of advice: arrogance won't get you far in life. The higher the pedestal, the harder you'll fall. Your truth isn't the truth, I'm sorry to burst your bubble. Newsflash - you can live a good life in Italy. The fact Italy has issues doesn't mean we should "let it sink" - now I ask you, what's wrong with trying to invest in new technologies to advance the economy and improve the socio-economic prospects of the country? Cause that is what this video is about. If you want to keep babbling about what is on your mind, do it, I will have a laugh. Come back when you've got something constructive to say, if you're capable of holding a conversation.

Milan Is in continuous change, hope you'll come back soon!!

As an Italian: don't worry Milan is the last one on the list of things you should visit in Italy. Palermo, Napoli, Genova, Firenze, Venezia, Roma, Bologna, Torino ecc the list is long, all better in terms of art architecture. Milan is a decent city in term of art and architecture by European/Global standards but is not by Italian standards. Of course if you want to see the most developed Italian city Milan is first choice but even in that case I don't think is worth visiting, in Europe you can find cities that are 20 yeas ahead in terms of development ( Wien, Rotterdam, Frankfurt...). Consider also that Milan is the most expensive place in Italy, which if is a low cost vacancy you might take in consideration.

@@silva3658 - Thanks! Yes, will be visiting Napoli, Firenze and Roma along with a number of locations in Toscana in addition to Firenze. Too much to see in such a beautiful and historic country!

@@johnmininger7472 trust me go to Bologna if you can. It's clean, plenty of young people, plenty of history and art, cheaper than any other touristic Italian city. In 1/2 day you already visited it. It's not that far from Florence. I visited Florence, Venice, Turin, Rome and many other in Italy but Bologna is my favourite Italian city by far. Ofc some of the city i mentioned are bigger and have more in quantity, but the fact is that Bologna it's the best in considering multiple factors other than art and architecture. They usually won't try to scam (which is something I may warn you about in Florence and Rome for example, be careful restaurant put always prices outside if there's no price outside don't go inside), the prices are on the average Italian price, the cuisine is the best, and every road you take even the most unknown has something special to see. Also is the city with the longest porticato (idk how to translate this word), in the world which are a very peculiar Italian things I honestly think it's the smartest invention we ever made and if you go there you'll see why. The people there are the best people in Italy, they took only the good side of our nation, they're not that expansive as southerners but at same time they're not that mentally closed as northerners.

@@johnmininger7472 and also I don't know where you're from and I don't know your taste but remember Italy is one of the most mountainous country in Europe, don't underestimate the beauty of our mountains. If you go in center Italy's the "Appennini" (a mountain range), it's a very attractive place for hiking and trekking especially the part in the Abruzzi region. Idk your route and how much time you have but if you can take it into consideration. I'm saying all of this cause the mainstream place in Italy are indeed beautiful but sometimes there's place that are same worthy but unknown to foreigners, you can't even imagine how many hidden gems have Italy, we're not that good at endorsing our country. Stay always far from the crowd and try to follow the locals especially when is about finding a restaurant, even if that means finding yourself in a place where nobody talks English; don't worry they'll always try to make you understand them ;) don't be scared to ask information to people casually walking around on the street, it's something very common here and 9/10 they will help you, if you're lucky sometimes if other people sees that you're asking information they will come to help you even if you didn't ask them directly, it's rare but it happens xD don't look maps, don't looks review, don't look your phone, just go ask locals let yourself be dragged by us you won't regret it

As an Italian, I’d say the project of building a new capital from nothing is interesting but a little bit insane imo. I’d rather improve the infrastructures and solve the problems (like overpopulation and sinking) affecting Jakarta instead of just letting them worsen over time and abandoning the city to its own destiny. In regards to the environmental issue, you’re kinda right. Yes, we in the West mostly care about the environment and the rate at which the Indonesian forests are disappearing is concerning to us. Yes, the West has caused many environmental problems due to its development. However, back in the days of industrialization here in the West, there was no such thing as ‘climate change’. No one in the early 1900s knew how bad fossil fuels were for the environment. Has Indonesia or any other country the right to develop? Of course, nobody here wants Indonesia to remain poor and underdeveloped. But, if you could pursue the ‘way of development’ with the awareness of not destroying the environment, it would be better for everyone. I’m sure you can do it. Good luck!🇮🇩🇮🇹

@@vincenzo225 Hello, first of all thank you for replying my comment. I believe that a government policy and decision in every country will be criticize by it's own people, especially a democratic country. I have to clarify a bit information that Indonesian government has never intended to abandoning Jakarta and let it sink in future years. Later, Jakarta will be like New York, a center of economy. Our government are trying their best to make Jakarta a better place for it's residents. About the environmental issue, so it's true that is concerning for European (at least for you as an Italian) that the number of deforestation in Indonesia keep increasing every year due to development? Why It's concerning for you? Is it your country also sacrificing a natural resources or forest for development? I'm not sure if you agree with this or not but I think it is a burden and risk for us to carry as a developing country to be criticize by European environmental activists group for our efforts to be advance like their origin country. For example, Greta Thunberg is form Sweden. She encouraging world leaders to take an "extreme" actions to decreasing and slowing the climate change. In the other hand, there are a lot of underdeveloped country like in Africa or even Indonesia compare to her country that needs to build a public facilities. I know you already said that we have right to developing our country but we need to implementing a green development and increasing our awareness about environmental sustainability but I don't think we are ready to totally shifted from conventional development to green development. And what I found interesting in your comment is that you acknowledging if European was also had massive development in the past and sacrificing the natural resources without having a concern about climate change. Lastly, do you support our plan to build a new capital from scratch in the Island of Kalimantan who is known as "The Lung of the World"? Why or why not?

As an italian, I am personally against the construction of a new capital. First of all I think we need to be critical of the idea of development: were Sriwijaya, Majapahit, or Mataram underdeveloped? What is development? Is it widespread wealth for the entire population? Or is it building infrastructures and skyscrapers? The entire idea of development emerged after WW2 during the decolonization period when North Atlantic countries financed projects for the development of former colonies, that is, just another way for exercising power over "third world countries", exploiting the markets to the advantage of the stronger North Atlantic economies. In fact, the developed/underdeveloped divide is the heir of former "us/other" categorizations like civilized/barbarian or white/native, and it reproduces colonial schemes of power relations to this day. I believe we need to rethink the idea of development as culturally constructed. Indeed, development in the so called third world has more often caused a rise in social inequality, environmental disasters, and displacement of local communities, and this is likely to happen for the construction of Nusantara as well. The main arguments for the building of the new capital are wealth redistribution and environmental issues. While it may seem a good idea to move the capital east to facilitate the flow of wealth from Java to the eastern regions, it is unlikely that this will be enough to achieve the goal of wealth distribution, as most institutions and hubs would still be in Java. A broader investment plan in the east would be required for this. Secondly, while moving the capital is expected to alleviate some of the environmental burdens that affect Jakarta, it will just create more such issues elsewhere. Nusantara has been advertised as a green sustainable city, however, other than reducing the territory of one of the most important forests in the world, the land on which the new capital is going to be built is affected by the same soil problem that Jakarta has, linked to the extraction of underground water. Moreover, Indonesia still relies mostly on coal or unsustainable energies, which means that the construction of the city is going to require a lot of polluting energy consumption. Lastly, local communities are going to be displaced from their lands, and they have not been involved in the project. Instead, only the elites, mostly plantation owners, and even foreign investors, are going to profit from the project. Overall, the construction of Nusantara mostly seems to be a political maneuvre, the presentation of the grand new governmental buildings clearly show how this new capital mainly aims at presenting a new image of power for the Indonesian government, representing the new ambitions of a country that aims to be a regional power and to look appealing and modern to foreign eyes. But is this what Indonesia really needs? Why not using all of this money, for example, to improve healthcare, sanitation, or facilities especially in remote areas? Children in remote islands travel by foot for hours just to reach the nearest school, while many village communities to not have access to basic sanitation facikities, why not doing something to address these issues first? Let's not forget that the project to move the new capital comes in a moment when your president is trying to extend his mandate beyond the limits allowed (and Indonesian students recently had something to say about this), the same president that is trying to make Indonesia a Disneyland for foreign tourists, and who is trying to attract foreign capitals more than anything else. It is all clearly very political. I am writing this comment as a person who deeply loves and respects Indonesia and its people, I hope you will find a better way for a new development.

I'm italian and from our point of view, the capital should not be the most advanced or the richest city, but the one that is able to gather the thought and spirit of all te country. In our case it is easy, Rome was the remnant of the most glorious ancient empire of the world. Europe and as a consequence America and most of Africa were influnced by this legacy, so no one had nothing to say about it. I don't think that a newly built city will be able to do that. It's like getting rich and buying a mansion, but still remembering fondly and visiting your parents house from time to time

@@Marco-tb1uj Hello! I think Italy also sacrificed a certain area of forest or green spaces for development in the past, but nobody criticised it because back then, the effects of climate change have not been felt. My point in questioning about this issue is not about the right or wrong of Indonesia's plan to build the new capital city, but why European environmental activists/groups are criticizing and warned us about climate change while their own country did the exact development like what we are doing. Do you think is fair for Indonesia as an emerging and developing country to receive that kind of criticism just because we are late to built our country?

As an Italian, I quite agree but I have to say that Milan is much more open-minded than the rest of Italy.

Milan is very cosmopolitan so that should not be an issue. However, the real issue is that Italy has a very high corporate tax when compared to other European countries where IT already thrives

@@luigidipaolo7148 I completely agree.

unlike p*kistan

The possible Information that is included in a Digital twin can be endless. Heating and electricity are one part, but there can also be very detailed Information about the building itself (based on BIM)

It's literally just a database

Well... Technically the rivers Olona and Lambro flow within the city limits... Still they aren't navigable so you're kinda right too, we had to build our own canals (Navigli) to have access to easier trade.

Yes, in fact Milano comes from latin word "Mediolanum," that name was given by the Romans that found the city, and it means "in the middle of the land".

According to the findings of the new IPCC report on climate change, if it eventuates as they say it will, this is practically the ideal model for how future, sustainable cities are meant to be built. If only we had this foresight years ago!

no, building an 8 lane road is not green or sustainable in the middle of a city

@@r3d0c Where did you see an eight lane road? The main "street" will be a long park that runs through the entire neighborhood and in addition to being, of course, a pedestrian area there will be a two-lane road for self-driving vehicles in the future. And as mentioned in the video, you won't even need cars, because everything will be just a few minutes away.

If they can be designed to reflect a city’s historic and cultural heritage, then yes.

Absolutely yes. Because wanting to keep the architectural history and so on of a city is fine, but I think this is fine for existing historical buildings. For everything new, you need modern architecture that allows you to meet today's standards in order to have state-of-the-art buildings to have more natural light, better ventilation, thermal insulation, etc., which the architectural style such as that of the center of Milan cannot guarantee.

Yes, that's the gangrene affecting Italy. Without it, it could rapidly become a much greater (and much healthier) nation.

You're right. Most of these people still have an old mentality with a center of power managing, collecting the data and imposing the rules. Chinese style research hubs. Old mentality will lead nowhere.

Taxes should be lowered, but investing in new technologies is important. High-income economies with high labour costs and unfavourable tax structures (France, Sweden or Germany) have their own innovation hubs so if it works for them I can't see why it can't work for Italy

Mafia (economic interests better saying) + burocracy (renouncing mentality better saying) is what kills us. Also remember, we vote for that.

Don't worry I can tell you that they will never finish it if they will start, just for a road or a sidewalk, it takes around 6 months to do one...

But it could b nice... Plus, some have the funds to attach trees to buildings... It will be done. Sure that energy could b used in a better way, but people will want trees on buildings

Sure trees on buildings is not a solution for global air pollution... But it is a solution for rich twats wanting to live in a city and also have some greenery in front of their home. What you said also needs to be done. But trees on buildings is a solution luxury for the few, not a solution to global issues.
