Resources for 170 million euros for regeneration and development strategies in urban areas aiming at the social inclusion of the most fragile populations and with the aim of reducing material and intangible inequalities. “Sustainable development, urban regeneration and territorial development these are elements on which we have inspired the policies of recent years and those of the years to come – said the governor Attilio Fontana – and in this context, personal services, living in beautiful cities, the decorum of the cities and the recovery of abandoned buildings. Our attention has always been directed to the citizens of Lombardy and our commitment is and remains to work to make living conditions better and better. We wanted to emphasize the value of social cohesion ».
Then Fontana remarked: «The pandemic, the economic effects of which have yet to unfold, has had and will have the effect of widening the audience of poverty and increasing inequalities. For this reason it is essential to act immediately to protect those more susceptible groups (I am thinking of women or young people) and to stem those phenomena that, from a social issue, can then become a theme of security and public order “.
