Exhibition Area

The main area where Milan Expo 2015 will take place is the new Rho Pero fair place, that - situated to the north-west of the city - will also include part of the Rho and Pero municipalities.

The new fair area, that has replaced the old fair in Milan, - destroyed, will be replaced by the district City Life - is one of the biggest in Europe with a surface of about 2 million mq. Conceived by the architect Massimiliano Fuksas - whose project was selected among four introduced in 2002 - the new fair was completed in 2005 proceeding from a careful study of the territory and from the desire to retrain each corner of such area, trying to gain a complex but well organized structure.

The expo area covers a total surface of about 400,000 mq (divided between a 60,000 mq open area and a 345,000 mq closed area) and consists of 8 wide stalls (6 arranged on one floor and 2 more arranged on two floors) that individually take up a surface of 37,000 mq, in addition, numerous structures for visitors services, parkins, hotels and a green surface of 180,000 mq surrounding the entire expo space.

The Rho Pero area will be well connected to each single corner of the city in order to make the access easier to visitors arriving from any direction, but above all this new area will see the union among urbanization, industrial and economic development, nature and culture. In fact, the Expo is located just next to famous parks, lakes, villas and ancient buildings that will host some of the events organized on this occasion.
