The presence of the Naviglio Martesana, along with numerous existing and newly planned green areas in the area, defines an ecological corridor that characterises the territory. The surrounding urban context is primarily residential, with neighbourhood services, as well as significant areas of Public Residential Construction. Numerous health, sports, and educational structures have been identified, as well as significant urban-environmental transformation initiatives, such as that of the Greco-Breda airport, which will create new connections with the fabric west of the railway (Bicocca), a project called "Innesto," the winner of the first Reinventing Cities competition. New areas are also being developed for social housing, which will be available for rent and sale at regulated prices. Piazzale Martesana is currently used as a large parking lot with an electrical substation operated by Atm. The large public car park that occupies most of the area is a type of caesura and is characterised by the heat island effect. The current PGT incorporates the site into the transportation infrastructure and calls for the surfaces to be de-paved as part of the green infrastructure network.
