ABSTRACT

The Municipality of Brescia is developing an urban regeneration project, cofinanced by the National government and with an overall budget of 47 million euros, called “Oltre la Strada (Beyond the Street)”, that interests the area of Porta Milano.

This paper explains how the project was built, starting from the Strategic Urban Plan (PGT) of Brescia and then focusing on the urban design, aimed at redeveloping via Milano as a district and not just as a traffic artery. A focus on the infrastructural and sustainable mobility solutions developed within the Oltre la Strada project, which are mostly linked to the “Living and Walking in Cities” conference theme, is also provided.
