S242508C / Living the Divide: Save the City or Sell It Off - U10

About this episode

This episode explores the impact of the Salva Milano law on urban planning in Milan, highlighting issues of transparency and equity in city development.

Can a law reshape a city? Salva Milano was introduced to unlock construction across Milan, but quickly became a symbol of something deeper: how urban planning isbeing redefined by private interests, legal loopholes, and political urgency. This episode unpacks what happens when development accelerates at the cost of transparency, equity, and long-term vision. Between satire, protest, andsuspended construction sites, we follow the ripple effects of a city built for speed—and ask: Who is this regeneration really for?
