'''Porta Nuova''' ({{IPA|it|ˈpɔrta ˈnwɔːva|pron}}; literally "New Gate"; {{langx|lmo|label=[[Milanes]]e|Pòrta Noeuva}} {{IPA-lmo|ˈpɔrta ˈnøːʋa|}}) is one of the main [[business districts]] of [[Milan]], [[Italy]] in terms of economy, and part of the [[Zone 2 of Milan|Zone 2]] administrative division. Named after the well-preserved [[Neoclassical architecture|Neoclassic]] gate built in 1810 on this site, it is now one of Italy's most high-tech and international districts, containing the country's tallest skyscraper: the [[Unicredit Tower]].
'''Porta Nuova''' (literally, "new gate") is one of the major wall gates of [[Milan]], [[Italy]]. The name is also used to refer to the surrounding district ("[[quartiere]]").


Porta Nuova has a 2017 city GDP of €400 billion, which makes it [[Europe]]'s richest district within any city. A concentration of companies are based in Porta Nuova, with 4% of all institutions and conglomerates found in [[Italy]], while Milan has 40% of all these business, and Milan's Lombardy Region has 53% of it.
==The Gates==
[[File:Porta nuova.jpg|left|thumb|200px|The Napoleonic gates that give name to the district.]]
The gates of Porta Nuova were built in the years 1810-1813 on the old road (of [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] origin) connecting Milan and the northern [[Brianza]] industrial subregion. Stylistically, it is a [[triumphal arch]] of [[ionic order]] influence. It is built in friable [[sandstone]], and as a consequence its decorations have degraded over time.


Industrialization is also profusely increasing within the district. A total of three [[Fortune 500]] companies are located in it, namely [[Alfa Romeo]], [[Pirelli]] and [[Techint]], with a lot of other significant companies, including luxury fashion house [[Versace]] and italian football giants [[Internazionale]]. Geographical Porta Nuova was the main engine of the global invention of "polypropylene" by [[Giulio Natta]], or in other terms, plastic, popularized by several companies within the city during the 1950s. Porta Nuova began manufacturing trams, buses, and trains, as part of Milan's public transport system which now gave Milan Europe's most advanced light rail system.
==Porta Nuova Project==


In 2019, Milan is in course to have several tax-free or flat tax services, as part of attracting domestic and international businesses which will be initiated in the area of Porta Nuova. It is also an integrated response to gain several [[European Union]] agencies from [[United Kingdom]] following [[Brexit]] and to prevent a possible economic fallout.
[[File:ProgettoPortaNuova-Milano-27giu2012-16.jpg|thumbnail|A scale model of the new business district.]]


==History==
After a long period of [[urban decay]], Porta Nuova district is now undergoing a massive [[Urban renewal|renewal]], thanks to "Progetto Porta Nuova" (Porta Nuova Project).<ref>{{cite web|title=Milano Porta Nuova official website|url=http://www.porta-nuova.com/en/|accessdate=29 October 2012}}</ref> The project, under realization since the late 2000s, includes several modern high rise buildings, cultural centres, and a large city park. As a result of these developments, the Porta Nuova district will ideally merge with the bordering [[Centro Direzionale di Milano]], the oldest business district of Milan that is characterized by 1950s-1960s towers, many of which dedicated to government offices and other major public and private companies.


[[File:Milan PortaNuova 016 3952.jpg|thumb|The business district is named after a Neoclassical gate built in 1810.]]
The project affects areas from the neighborhoods of [[Isola (district of Milan)|Isola]], Varesine and [[Porta Garibaldi (Milan)|Porta Garibaldi]]. Construction started in 2009, with completion planned in 2014.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.ilsole24ore.com/art/SoleOnLine4/Italia/2009/05/MIlano-Porta-Nuova-Ligresti-Hines-Catella-Pelli.shtml?uuid=e4540df2-4619-11de-84f9-51aebafe7a2a&DocRulesView=Libero|title=Il progetto Porta Nuova avanza|accessdate=2010-01-26}}</ref>
The project involves the work of noted architects such as [[Cesar Pelli]], [[Stefano Boeri]] and [[Nicholas Grimshaw]]. The redevelopment area extends from [[Milano Porta Garibaldi railway station|Porta Garibaldi station]] to piazza della Repubblica and from Porta Nuova gate to [[Palazzo Lombardia]].


Porta Nuova is named after the [[Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy|Napoleonic]] [[gate]] which was erected in 1810 from a design by [[Giuseppe Zanoia]].<ref>{{cite book|title=Handbook for Travellers in Northern Italy|date=1866|publisher=[[John Murray (publishing house)|John Murray]]|location=London|isbn=978-1333430863|page=179|edition=10th}}</ref>
The project was approved in 2004, comprising a total surface of about {{convert|340000|m2|abbr=on}} divided into 3 parts:
* Porta Nuova Garibaldi
* Porta Nuova Varesine
* Porta Nuova Isola


In the 1990s Milan, a former heavy-industry powerhouse, was filled with about 6 million square metres of industrial wastelands and unused railroad tracks; transforming such places following the example set by London and other post-industrial cities had become a primary objective for the municipal administration.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Galbraith|first1=Robert|title=An urban renaissance is transforming Milan|url=http://adhoccommunication.it/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/HINES-2.pdf|access-date=22 December 2017|publisher=[[International Herald Tribune]]|date=11 July 2007}}</ref>
The area is going to be home to 20 high-rise buildings, parks, a new metro station on the under construction [[Milan Metro Line 5|line 5]] of the [[Milan Metro]] and many underground car parks.

The Porta Nuova business district project was born in 1997 in collaboration with American real estate developer [[Gerald D. Hines]] and his partners, Micheal Topham and Riccardo Catella; the new district took fourteen years to develop and has been built on a large area of central Milan affected by decades of [[urban decay]],<ref>{{cite book|last1=Seal|first1=Mark|title=Raising The Bar: The Life and Work of Gerald D. Hines|date=2016|publisher=Fenwick Publishing|location=Bainbridge Island, Washington, USA|isbn=978-0-9889261-5-8}}</ref> after a series of failed development plans in the 1970s.

The 290,000 square metres (later increased to 346,500), US$2.5bn mixed use project was definitively approved in 2005 and was designed by three masterplanners, [[Pelli Clarke Pelli]], [[Stefano Boeri|Boeri Studio]] and [[Kohn Pedersen Fox]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Bullivant|first1=Lucy|title=Masterplanning futures|date=2012|publisher=Routledge|location=London|isbn=978-0415554473|pages=198–199}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last1=Wallach|first1=Brett|title=A World Made for Money: Economy, Geography, and the Way We Live Today|date=2015|publisher=University of Nebraska Press|location=Lincoln, Nebraska, USA|isbn=978-0803298910|page=321}}</ref>

In 2013 [[Qatar Holding LLC]], a unit of the Persian Gulf emirate's [[sovereign wealth fund]], agreed to buy a 40 percent stake in Milan's newly built Porta Nuova business district to expand its Italian real estate holdings.<ref>{{cite news|title=Qatar Buys 40% Stake in Milan’s Porta Nuova Business District|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2013-05-16/qatar-buys-40-stake-in-milan-s-porta-nuova-business-district|access-date=22 December 2017|agency=Bloomberg|date=16 May 2013}}</ref> In 2015 Qatar Investment Authority agreed to buy the 60 percent of Porta Nuova it did not already own.<ref>{{cite news|title=Qatar Gets Full Control of Milan’s Porta Nuova District|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-02-27/qatar-gets-full-control-of-milan-s-porta-nuova-district|access-date=22 December 2017|agency=Bloomberg|date=27 February 2015}}</ref>

At the end of 2017 construction works began for "Gioia 22", a new 26-story, 120 metres high tower designed by architect Gregg E. Jones of Pelli Clarke Pelli and scheduled to be completed by 2020.<ref>{{cite web|title=Gioia22: arriva un altro grattacielo a Porta Nuova|url=http://www.archiportale.com/news/2017/11/architettura/gioia22-arriva-un-altro-grattacielo-a-porta-nuova_61131_3.html|website=Archiportale.com|access-date=22 December 2017}}</ref>

Pelli Clarke Pelli designed the largest part of the development, the "Garibaldi" area (near [[Milano Porta Garibaldi railway station|Garibaldi railway station]]), with office and retail compounds extending over 230,500 square metres.<ref>{{cite web|title=Porta Nuova Garibaldi: Area|url=http://www.porta-nuova.com/area/dati-di-progetto/porta-nuova-garibaldi/|website=www.porta-nuova.com|publisher=Porta Nuova official website|access-date=22 December 2017}}</ref> It is centered on the [[Unicredit Tower]] complex, that features three office towers, of which the largest, a 31-story, 231 metres high asymmetrical tower culminating in a sculptural, 80m stainless steel spire, is currently (as of 2017) the tallest building in Italy.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Crosbie|first1=Michael J.|title=Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects|date=2013|publisher=Birkhauser|location=Basel|isbn=978-3034608251|page=278}}</ref>

The "Varesine" area, named after a now demolished railway station that once connected Milan to [[Varese]], has been designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associated and occupies 85,000 square metres.<ref>{{cite web|title=Porta Nuova Varesine: Area|url=http://www.porta-nuova.com/area/dati-di-progetto/porta-nuova-varesine/|website=www.porta-nuova.com|publisher=Porta Nuova official website|access-date=22 December 2017}}</ref> The main building of this area is [[Torre Diamante]], a 130 mentres high, diamond-shaped tower that is Italy's tallest skyscraper with a steel structure.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Veljkovic|first1=Milan|last2=Hauke|first2=Bernard|last3=Kuhnhenne|first3=Markus|last4=Lawson|first4=Mark|title=Sustainable Steel Buildings: A Practical Guide for Structures and Envelopes|date=2016|publisher=Wiley-Blackwell|location=Hoboken, New Jersey|isbn=978-1118741115|page=258}}</ref>

The "Isola" area ("island" in Italian, owing its name to the fact that it was once encircled by railway lines<ref>{{cite book|title=Michelin Must Sees Milan & Italian Lakes|date=2015|publisher=Michelin Travel Partners|location=Boulogne-Billancourt|isbn=978-2067197541|page=70}}</ref>), designed by Boeri Studio, extends over 31,500 square metres.<ref>{{cite web|title=Porta Nuova Isola: Area|url=http://www.porta-nuova.com/area/dati-di-progetto/porta-nuova-isola/|website=www.porta-nuova.com|publisher=Porta Nuova official website|access-date=22 December 2017}}</ref> Its most distinctive feature is [[Bosco Verticale]], a pair of residential towers covered in trees and vegetation.

Porta Nuova (pronounced [ˈpɔrta ˈnwɔːva]; literally "New Gate"; Milanese: Pòrta Noeuva [ˈpɔrta ˈnøːʋa]) is one of the main business districts of Milan, Italy in terms of economy, and part of the Zone 2 administrative division. Named after the well-preserved Neoclassic gate built in 1810 on this site, it is now one of Italy's most high-tech and international districts, containing the country's tallest skyscraper: the Unicredit Tower.

Porta Nuova has a 2017 city GDP of €400 billion, which makes it Europe's richest district within any city. A concentration of companies are based in Porta Nuova, with 4% of all institutions and conglomerates found in Italy, while Milan has 40% of all these business, and Milan's Lombardy Region has 53% of it.

Industrialization is also profusely increasing within the district. A total of three Fortune 500 companies are located in it, namely Alfa Romeo, Pirelli and Techint, with a lot of other significant companies, including luxury fashion house Versace and italian football giants Internazionale. Geographical Porta Nuova was the main engine of the global invention of "polypropylene" by Giulio Natta, or in other terms, plastic, popularized by several companies within the city during the 1950s. Porta Nuova began manufacturing trams, buses, and trains, as part of Milan's public transport system which now gave Milan Europe's most advanced light rail system.

In 2019, Milan is in course to have several tax-free or flat tax services, as part of attracting domestic and international businesses which will be initiated in the area of Porta Nuova. It is also an integrated response to gain several European Union agencies from United Kingdom following Brexit and to prevent a possible economic fallout.

History

[edit]
The business district is named after a Neoclassical gate built in 1810.

Porta Nuova is named after the Napoleonic gate which was erected in 1810 from a design by Giuseppe Zanoia.[1]

In the 1990s Milan, a former heavy-industry powerhouse, was filled with about 6 million square metres of industrial wastelands and unused railroad tracks; transforming such places following the example set by London and other post-industrial cities had become a primary objective for the municipal administration.[2]

The Porta Nuova business district project was born in 1997 in collaboration with American real estate developer Gerald D. Hines and his partners, Micheal Topham and Riccardo Catella; the new district took fourteen years to develop and has been built on a large area of central Milan affected by decades of urban decay,[3] after a series of failed development plans in the 1970s.

The 290,000 square metres (later increased to 346,500), US$2.5bn mixed use project was definitively approved in 2005 and was designed by three masterplanners, Pelli Clarke Pelli, Boeri Studio and Kohn Pedersen Fox.[4][5]

In 2013 Qatar Holding LLC, a unit of the Persian Gulf emirate's sovereign wealth fund, agreed to buy a 40 percent stake in Milan's newly built Porta Nuova business district to expand its Italian real estate holdings.[6] In 2015 Qatar Investment Authority agreed to buy the 60 percent of Porta Nuova it did not already own.[7]

At the end of 2017 construction works began for "Gioia 22", a new 26-story, 120 metres high tower designed by architect Gregg E. Jones of Pelli Clarke Pelli and scheduled to be completed by 2020.[8]

Area specifications

[edit]
Library of Trees Park
Unicredit Tower in the Garibaldi area.

Pelli Clarke Pelli designed the largest part of the development, the "Garibaldi" area (near Garibaldi railway station), with office and retail compounds extending over 230,500 square metres.[9] It is centered on the Unicredit Tower complex, that features three office towers, of which the largest, a 31-story, 231 metres high asymmetrical tower culminating in a sculptural, 80m stainless steel spire, is currently (as of 2017) the tallest building in Italy.[10]

The "Varesine" area, named after a now demolished railway station that once connected Milan to Varese, has been designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associated and occupies 85,000 square metres.[11] The main building of this area is Torre Diamante, a 130 mentres high, diamond-shaped tower that is Italy's tallest skyscraper with a steel structure.[12]

The "Isola" area ("island" in Italian, owing its name to the fact that it was once encircled by railway lines[13]), designed by Boeri Studio, extends over 31,500 square metres.[14] Its most distinctive feature is Bosco Verticale, a pair of residential towers covered in trees and vegetation.
