Appartamento in Milano

Built-up urban area: the cluster lies inside the municipal fabric of Milan rather than in open countryside. The city sits on the flat Po valley plain; no mountains or large natural lakes are within ~15 km. Smaller waterways and canals cross the urban area: the Naviglio Grande and Naviglio Pavese canals and the Lambro and Seveso rivers. Multiple large urban parks are within 15 km: Parco Sempione (central), Parco Lambro, Parco Nord Milano (north), Parco delle Cave (west). The regional protected agricultural area Parco Agricolo Sud Milano lies to the south/southeast within the metropolitan area. Milan Linate airport is within ~10 km to the east; city rail and metro hubs (including Milano Centrale) provide high-speed, regional and local connections. The area within 15 km is predominantly urban, suburban and industrial, with agricultural land concentrated inside the Parco Agricolo Sud Milano. Official status: Milan is listed in the UNESCO Creative Cities Network for Design.
