An eco-design itinerary is proposed this year for the eighteenth edition of GREEN ISLAND, during the Milano Design Week (17/22 April 2018). An urban itinerary that promises to turn the area between the Garibaldi Station and the Isola District into an urban garden. The project will create a street circuit marked by 'green indications' drawn on the sidewalk, and a special project dedicated to designers of Sarajevo, supported by images of Cinzia Castagna.

The artistic project proposed by Claudia Zanfi -the real ‘green soul’ behind the Milano Design Week at the Isola District, who states: “ever since its pioneering launch in 2001, the GREEN ISLAND project has set out to bring the citizen back to a dimension of greater harmony between architectural and natural spaces; it aims to provide a moment of reflection and planning on urgent themes such as sustainability, urban green spaces and landscapes.” GREEN ISLAND was the first project to bring design to the streets of the Isola Neighbourhood, creating a network of over 100 local partners for the valorisation of art&crafts and of the territory.

The project is in collaboration with public and private institutions, such as: Comune di Milano; Polidesign University; Urban Wood; Atelier del Paesaggio; Isola Design District. With relevant media partners such as: Artribune, Zero, Gardenia, 24oreNEWS.

GREEN ISLAND is a Pet&Bike friendly project.
