TheZone 5 of Milan,since 2016 officiallyMunicipality 5 of Milan,(inItalian:Zona 5 di Milano,Municipio 5 di Milano) is one of the 9administrative divisionsofMilan,Italy.[1]
It was officially created as an administrative subdivision during the 1980s. On 14 April 2016, in order to promote a reform on the municipal administrative decentralization, the City Council of Milan established the newMunicipality 5,a new administrative body responsible for running most local services, such as schools, social services, waste collection, roads, parks, libraries and local commerce.[2]
Subdivision
[edit]The borough includes the following districts:
- Basmetto;
- Cantalupa;
- Case Nuove;
- Chiaravalle,located in the periphery south of the city centre, within theParco Agricolo Sud Milanonature reserve. Despite being annexed to Milan in 1923, Chiaravalle has maintained the character of an autonomous town. The park that embraces the district also separates it from theurban agglomerationof the city. This isolation is reinforced by the scarceness of public transportation to the centre, which mostly consists of a single bus line connecting Chiaravalle toPorta Romana.As this bus line has a stop at theMilan Metrostation ofCorvetto,this is the subway station that serves Chiaravalle, despite that ofRogoredobeing closer. The main landmark of the Chiaravalle district iseponymous abbey,aGothic-Romanesque12th century monastic complex;
- Chiesa Rossa,a social residential district realized between 1960 and 1966;
- Conca Fallata;
- Fatima;
- Gratosoglio,located at southernmost end of the city, bordering on thecomuneofRozzano,and it is traversed by theLambroriver. The district has an area of about 400,000 m2.Having started as acommuter townin the 1960s, with large prefabricated apartment blocks destined to house immigrant workers coming from theSouth of Italy,the district is usually listed among those most degraded (e.g., having the highest crime rates) in the surroundings of Milan;
- Le Terrazze;
- Macconago,autonomouscomuneuntil 1923;
- Missaglia;
- Morivione;
- Porta Lodovica,named after the city gate of theSpanish walls.This area is in first place in the ranking of the neighborhoods that offer the best liveability in Milan;
- Porta Vigentina,named after one of the city gates in theSpanish walls;
