City Life

About

CityLife is Milan’s flagship urban regeneration project, transforming the former Fiera Milano trade fairgrounds into a vibrant, car‑free neighbourhood that blends cutting‑edge architecture, high‑density residential towers, and expansive green spaces. The district is anchored by the iconic Three Towers – the Allianz, Generali, and Libeskind towers – designed by world‑renowned architects Zaha Hadid, Arata Isozaki, and Daniel Libeskind. Beyond the towers, CityLife offers a bustling business and shopping district, a large pedestrian park, and a network of cultural venues that host art exhibitions, live events, and public installations such as the ArtLine trail. Visitors can stroll through the entirely car‑free CityLife Park, which covers over 170 000 m² and boasts more than 2 000 trees and dedicated cycling and walking paths. The park’s centerpiece, Piazza Tre Torri, acts as a civic square that connects the towers with retail and dining options, while the surrounding streets provide access to modern residences, office spaces, and the local metro Line 5. CityLife’s design prioritises sustainability, earning Platinum certification in LEED for Cities, WELL, and SITES. The district’s architecture incorporates green roofs, rainwater harvesting, and a pedestrian‑first layout, making it a model for future urban developments worldwide. For those seeking an immersive cultural experience, the area hosts recurring events and exhibitions – from the ArtLine video series to seasonal festivals and community gatherings. Whether you’re a family looking for a relaxed day out, a culture enthusiast eager to explore contemporary art installations, or an urban explorer keen on architectural marvels, CityLife offers a cohesive, ever‑evolving experience in the heart of Milan.
