In Milan Only 37 percent of the residents have a park or garden that can be reached on foot and in five minutes. One might think that in a city with a center so full of buildings, that is, with a very high building density (moreover historically high and not for responsibilities attributable to the mayors starting from the post -war period), well, one might think that all this is natural and instead, paradoxically,, there is more green in the center than in the suburbs because in the center – apart from the “private” one, that is, inside the private buildings – There are also many public spaces (parks, park, gardens and gardens) that allow Milanese citizens to be able to enjoy green in various parts of the wealthiest area in the capital.
Forget thisPeregrin idea of the Sala junta on the so -called “reduced mowing”consisting of do not cut the grass but make it grow – with the consequence that Insects in public places have increased in a dizzying way – with the justification of biodiversity, that is: for those who had not understood, under the Madonnina, Not cutting the grass, it increases the possibility that the owners of small dogs lose them within this high grass populated by insects, so as to preserve the biodiversity of the latter but eliminate the biodiversity of pets.
Someone, sooner or later, will put on a small animal cemetery and on the entrance door it will be written: cemetery dedicated to the mowing. Now, I ask myself: but it is possible that one comes to think of increasing world biodiversity with the relative problems, for example, whales, bears and other species in the street, leaving the Milano high grass And, at the same time, By growing the circumference of human spheres Post in the lower abdomen, with a mowing that makes insects multiply? Meaning what, The insects that populate Milan, thanks to the light mowing, are insects in the process of extinction? I don’t know.
Let’s go back to Bomba. In the city, according to the data of the magazine Land and the recommendations of theWorld Health Organization (WHO, in English World Health Organization), The accessibility parameter to green areas, inside urban spaces, is included within a distance of 300 meters Which is, in fact, as we said above, the distance that can be traveled on foot in five minutes.
Now, it is clear that in one of the More polluted cities in Europe, namely Milanthat this is guaranteed only to one in three citizens It is a fact of a certain gravity.
Among other things, as mentioned above, This lack concerns more peripheral areasand not only because in these areas it lacks gardens and gardens, but why Either they are not maintained or, even worse, are the privileged places by drug dealers and criminals of various kinds.
For example, in the San Siro area the Municipality has made a good action, has finally redone a children’s playground, But the population had to organize in surveillance shifts Because all this has not been disabled in a short time.
Certainly there is a shortage of green in the suburbs And certainly this depends on the lack of maintenance e regeneration of the suburbs themselves. But very much would already be Keep and preserve the green green from various thugsbecause, not only in Milan, of course, but in many other cities, these spaces located in the most marginal areas of the same they are often criminal receptacles And they are not treated.
Other than mowing, we are in the breakdown there And the breakdown, notoriously, does not serve biodiversity, unless it includes criminals, drug dealers and thugs, however, in this case, it should be called bioilirality.
According to the Legambiente’s air relationshipin Milan, In the first 4 months of 2025, the 27 days of overflow of the limits allowed by law of fine dust have already been exceeded (PM10).
In 2024, always according to Legambiente, The exceptions of the daily limit of 50 micrograms for Metrocubo of PM10 were frequent.
Now Milan passes to be a city with a mayor that I would call multicolorbecause only green is reductive, it is also a little red and even a little orange, however, certainly, he focused a lot on the green issue.
The light mowing, the cycle paths, the single -seater, an unsustainable quantity of money to access the center And not only that, if so continues some worker with Medium low salary, to enter Milan, will have to do an annual mortgage.
Nevertheless, With all these obligations and prohibitions, a blessed club was not obtained. Also because or a mayor makes a act of courage and closes the center or all these gabelles, rates, prohibitions they absolutely serve anythingand I don’t say it by ideological conviction, I say it because it is enough Check the data of the years of the Sala junta And the data are the ones we said.
Also because The real problem is diesel boilers which still heat many buildings of the Municipality, as well as private. I realize that saying this is not cool, but this is reality.
