Over 2,700 square meters with new plants and a renovated play area
(ANSA) – MILAN, JUN 07 – In Milan a public green area of over 2,700 square meters will be regenerated with new plants and a play area renovated with eco-sustainable furnishings, with the aim of improving air quality, mitigating climate and increase biodiversity. This is thanks to the Parco Nivea initiative which provides for the redevelopment and support of the Milanese garden ‘Pippa Bacca’: the WWF green oasis in via Tommaso Da Cazzaniga, a stone’s throw from Brera.
The redevelopment of the oasis, supported by WWF and the Municipality of Milan, is planned with the support of Green City Italia. “Parco Nivea, which aims to give the city a completely redeveloped new space, designed to be lived in by everyone, starting with families – underlined Andrea Mondoni, General Manager Southern Europe of Beiersdorf -, helps to consolidate our mission for the climate and to strengthen our commitment to promoting sustainable and responsible behaviors for an increasingly positive impact on the planet “. The redevelopment of the ‘Pippa Bacca’ garden will be characterized by the regeneration of the green areas of over 2,700 square meters of the municipal garden, which will be revitalized and implemented by numerous shrub and herbaceous species with absorbent functions capable of fixing CO2 and retaining the main chemicals pollutants present in the air. The garden will then be enriched by a completely renovated play area and urban furnishings built in eco-sustainable materials to encourage opportunities for socializing and sharing.
“The garden, which borders the Casa degli Artisti, will soon have a new appearance, a renewed play area and will increasingly become a place for the neighborhood and its inhabitants as well as the memory of the artist Pippa Bacca who tragically died in 2008” , underlined the Councilor for Green and Environment of the Municipality of Milan, Elena Grandi. The gardens named after the artist Pippa Bacca host the headquarters of the WWF Lombardia.
