Project City Life:

the old historical district of the Fair in Milan will be dismantled and therefore it will be enlarged the new fair place of the Rho Perņ. City Life is the project studied by three famous international architects Zaha Hadid, Arata Isozaki, Daniel Libeskind to retrain the old location of the fair plant.

City Life

is a district that will rise on an area of about 255,000 mq and it schedules the creation of the largest pedestrian area of Milan, the realization of a park that will occupy the 50% of the surface in hand and still residential areas, structures for various services, the Museum of Contemporary Art, planned by Libeskind with the collaboration of the Triennial of Milan, and the Building of the Sparks, that it will be the cebtre of the district dedicate to children.
But the most disputable part of this project is that that schedules the construction of three skyscrapers (among which there is the "lopsided" of Libeskind that not everybody has loved it) to give the hospitality to the business sector, but it is not to rule out the possibility to use these structures as hotels.
