Viva! Generale!

The “twisting” tower in Milano City Life, named today Generali Tower, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects powerfully soars above the city, being anew landmark with a futuristic mood.

An integral element of the CityLife redevelopment that has created a new civic, residential and business district near the center of Milan, Generali Tower is defined by its surrounding urban fabric to con­nect directly with the city. Generali Tower is within the CityLife master­plan that has redeveloped Milan’s abandoned trade fair grounds fol­lowing the fair’s relocation to Rho Pero in 2005.

Located above the new Tre Torri station on Line 5 of the city’s metro system, CityLife opens the 90-acre site to year-round public use for the first time; providing new civic spaces, public parks and residential areas, in addition to shopping dis­tricts and corporate offices. CityLife will include 1,000 new homes, offic­es for more than 11,000 staff, the new 42-acre public park, piazzas and kindergarten.

CityLife will be the largest new civic space and public park created in the city since Parco Sempione opened 130 years ago.
