Urban regeneration in Lombardy represents a strategic priority to transform disused areas into vital assets for the metropolitan fabric. In centers such as Monza and Brianza, FORWARD Italy, born from the synergy between GRUPPO ALFANO and CMILANO GROUP, positions itself as a leader by integrating technical expertise, strategic vision, and sustainability. This article explores the dynamics of urban regeneration in Lombardy and the distinctive value of FORWARD.

The Context of Urban Regeneration in Lombardy

Lombardy, an economic and cultural hub, offers unique opportunities to redesign the urban landscape through the redevelopment of former industrial complexes and underutilized spaces. In Monza, for example, the new M5 metro line, completed on June 27, 2025, is stimulating demand for modern neighborhoods. However, challenges such as physical decay, fragmented decision-making, and the balancing of economic, social, and environmental needs require an integrated approach to ensure concrete results.
