Located in the Porta Romana neighbourhood in the southeast area of Milan, the scheme will see Diller Scofidio + Renfro, PLP and Carlo Ratti Associati transform the site into a largely residential neighbourhood wrapped around a large urban park.
The neighbourhood will be comprised of apartment blocks, offices, retail space and sports centres.

The large urban park at the heart of the new development will form an accessible biodiverse space, with vast meadow gardens, wet and woodlands as well as two elevated greenways that extend the length of the neighbourhood.
Chengdu Future City is a car-free masterplan for the capital of China s Sichuan province designed by architecture studio OMA to focus on the site s existing geography and topography.
The 4.6-square-kilometre scheme, which is being developed within the rolling hills of east Chengdu, will contain six clusters that are modelled on traditional village settlements in the city.
Each of these zones will be designed by OMA to blend in with its surrounding landscape and incorporate spaces dedicated to education and innovation.
