Porta Nuova Impact

Portanuova in Milan is one of the most significant urban regeneration projects carried out in the historic centre of a European city.

Through a unified and shared vision, aligned with the active “Portanuova Impact” strategy, COIMA has taken on a broader role in the coordination and management of the district, overseeing its development, management and adding the implementation of a multidimensional activation proposal for the neighbourhood.

Thanks to a systemic approach, all stakeholders have contributed to the creation of projects focused on social, environmental, cultural and digital innovation, with the aim of generating impacts that go beyond the boundaries of the neighbourhood, turning it into a laboratory for sustainable development.

To understand the impacts generated by activities and initiatives related to the management of the neighbourhood, a monitoring and evaluation framework based on the principles of the Theory of Change was adopted, with the support of a team specialised in impact sustainability.

The analysis includes all activities related to the management of private and public spaces, the editorial programme of Portanuova events, the activities of Fondazione Riccardo Catella including the cultural and educational moments of the BAM – Biblioteca degli Alberi Milano programme.

We are pleased to share with you the Porta Nuova Impact Report 2025.
