Children Are Tomorrow's Urban Planners Future Milan: Workshop With Winy Maas

On 26 November 2018, Winy Maas presented his project for Domus ’19 at a state school in Milan, following a workshop that involved the students, who imagined the city of the future. Starting from their neighbourhood, they gave shape to their ideas and wrote a letter to the Mayor to have their proposals realised

Dear Mayor of Milan,

we are the students of the Carmelita Manara Secondary School in Milan, part of the Istituto Comprensivo Morosini. On 26 November, we took part in a wonderful project with Domus magazine that gave us the opportunity to meet and work for three hours with the architect Winy Maas. This initiative prompted us to write to you to explain our ideas about what could be created for the future of Milan. We would like our city, perhaps even our neighbourhood, to have a meeting place where we can get together. We would like this place to be welcoming, safe and secure, where we can take part in all sorts of activities. We would like to propose the construction of a mixed-use centre with a cinema, a swimming pool, a gym, shops, a library and a small park.
