Salutatory Address- Elementary

The "Golf Agricultural": what a great idea. Viva

of Bruno Rindone
Councillor for the Environment of the town of Segrate


What a great idea! 800,000 square meters of farmland on the outskirts of Milan, right next to the exhibition of Milan-2, built by Berlusconi almost thirty years ago, and quoted in magazines of architecture as an example of estate 'surrounded by greenery. The beautiful idea provides to change the intended use of this portion of land from agricultural to residential, and to place forty buildings and a golf course with eight holes.

to this ugliness the inhabitants of Milan-2 have rebelled, and to them, 'have proposed a small project: the goal' of buildings (all on the border with Rovagnasco), yet the golf course. Without understanding that the ugly duckling is ugly, because 'what' wrong with him, 'that very caricature of naturalness' and that 'the golf course, with the huge amount' of pesticides it requires, and its image fake nature. You might as well do it in plastic and keep it rain with a beautiful tent, on which to paint exotic landscapes.

And what is wrong with the ugly duckling and 'the desire to cancel your true nature, that nature that has made Milan-2 so' nice to put a kind of fiction. Sure, the game of golf, like many other sports, when practiced for pleasure is good, the heart and soul, but not the east of Milan and 'certainly does not have a golf course. Having a golf course in the house is not 'very different than having the house a highway, a landfill, an incinerator. With one difference, however

': highway, landfill, incinerator may be necessary for the community, the golf course not. And then, rejected this proposal because 'not serious, what to do?

The Municipality of Segrate has undergone a major transformation in recent years. In fact, next to the issue unresolved, but not irreconcilable, the new Santa Monica neighborhood, in which 'in some obvious desire to remove much of the portion allocated to subsidized housing (and therefore prices, in theory, affordable) housing in the free (ie, with prices less affordable), there are some positive achievements. The new Central Park neighborhood, for example, with a considerable portion of the green and with an important natural landscape. The Conference Centre and 'a quality project,' just because ' placed inside an artificial hill, and for a lot of green around.

In this context, again, thirty years later, on portion of agricultural land that is talked about, the same operation quality 'thirty years ago that led to Milan-2, would be of great value. It embodies the idea that a municipality on the outskirts of a big city 'from' greater value to its territory if it preserves substantial shares of naturalness' (the real one, not that fake a pitch of course). Structure then this portion of the City as an urban forest , within which are embedded residences and services because 'that respects the natural' and the place 'so strong idea, much stronger than ordinary course pitch surrounded by forty (or thirty, or twenty) buildings.

addition, this configuration of the Municipality of Segrate would be a continuity 'with large green areas of the park agricultural south, and of which a small part' in the municipality of Segrate, and helping to establish an ecological network , the most valuable because 'located in the immediate vicinity of a big city'

And the market would you say that? I have the impression that the quality 'in land management and' quality 'of life, and' appreciated.
Come on then, we leave the banality 'and think big . We propose this idea in the building plan of the Government of the Territory.
