Milan (1888-2000) PROVIDING AND FINANCING A MUNICIPAL INFRASTRUCTURE : A LONG RUN ANALYSIS OF WATER AND SANITATION INVESTMENTS IN MILAN (1888-2000) Olivier Crespi Reghizzi Providing and financing a municipal infrastructure : a long run analysis of water and sanitation investments in Milan (1888-2000) Olivier Crespi Reghizzi 1,2 Abstract Water and sanitation services (WSS) have been mostly provided in Italy (and in Europe) at the municipal level. WSS are highly capital intensive. How water and sanitation infrastructure has been financed by Italian municipalities? What were the financing tools implemented to cover the huge investments’ costs in the short run? Who were the final end-payers in the long run? In Italy intergovernmental financial relations between municipalities and the central state changed significantly from 1861 till now : fiscal autonomy or dependence from central state transfers, balanced budget obligation or not, degree of borrowing autonomy. Water supply and sanitation legislation was largely modified too through the 20 th century in Italy. The evolution of both intergovernmental financial relations and water supply and sanitation legislation is a useful background element to our work. The major part of our paper is focused on a detailed analysis of the rolling-up phase of Milan modern water and sanitation service (1888-1924). A variety of implemented financing schemes and institutional solutions (municipal budget - fiscal resources, municipal bond and land added value capture schemes) are identified and described. The financial equilibrium of the WSS is analysed. A basic overlapping generation model is used to explore how the infrastructure costs have been allocated between the various generations. The last part of our paper adds a long run perspective (1953-2000) to the detailed analysis undertaken in the first part of the paper. Once the rolling-up phase has gone how was the infrastructure provided, expanded and financed over the 50 years after WWII ? What was the financial equilibrium of WSS ? Was it financed by municipal budget fiscal revenues or relying only on tariff revenues ? A discussion on the long run cost allocation and on the intergenerational transfers is made.

The water industry is very capital intensive and requires huge lump sum investments particularly in the early phase of expanding the infrastructure. In a historical perspective how to finance these investments has constantly been a major concern, not always easy to solve. We make the assumption that adopting a “long run” historical perspective on water financing as we do in the present paper can be highly beneficial to give more depth to the present policy debate and enlighten present and future challenges both in developing countries and in Europe. Water and sanitation services (WSS) have been mostly provided in Italy (and in Europe) at the municipal level. WSS are highly capital intensive particularly in the networks’ expansion phase. How water and sanitation infrastructure rolling-up and provision has been undertaken and financed by Italian municipalities ? This paper is focused on the case study of Milan’s water and sanitation service from its genesis as a “modern” service in 1888 to the year 2000. A first and significant part of our paper (sections 2 to 8) is focused on a detailed analysis of the rolling-up phase of Milan modern water and sanitation service (1888-1924 3) using the municipality’s yearly financial report 4 as the main data source. Water infrastructure’s expansion took place in the context of a massive economic and demographic urban development (described in section 2). Section 3 analyses the key technical and institutional choices which were made in the rolling-up phase. Section 4 is focused instead on the water and sanitation infrastructure brought to completion and to the invested amounts. Water and sanitation investments were huge even if compared to the city’s development masterplan ones (§4.4). Water and sanitation in Milan (and in Italy) is very much a municipal story. How did the municipality manage to finance such a costly infrastructure ? To tackle such a question the Italian municipal fiscal regime is described (section 5) with a detailed focus on Milan’s 3 After 1924 the fascist regime abolished the autonomy of Italian municipalities ( ordinamento podestarile). In those years Milan municipal budget and reports are not available anymore. 4 Conto consuntivo dell’anno 4 municipality financial constraints (§5.4). Land value capture tools are given a specific attention too (§5.2 and §5.3). Rolling up an infrastructure requires vast amounts of money to be quickly available. What were the financing tools implemented to cover the huge investments’ costs in the short run? What was the borrowing regime of Italian Municipalities like (§ 6.1) ? What were the deficit financing tools implemented in Milan (§ 6.2, §6.3 and §6.4)? Who were the final end-payers in the long run? Refering to the OECD 3T’s methodology, were they the users or the tax payers ? To tackle such a question section 7 is focused on how water and sanitation service was charged to the users while Section 8 analyses in details the financial flows of the water and sanitation service using figures from the yearly municipal financial report and determines whether Tariff revenues were covering the full service cost or not. The key role played by long term debt and inflation is analysed too (§ 8.6). To discuss who were the end-payers and to estimate the intergenerational transfers a basic overlapping generation model is implemented (§ 8.7 and § 8.8) to explore how the infrastructure costs are allocated between the various generations. The last section (section 9) adds a long run perspective (1953-2000) to the detailed analysis undertaken in the first part of the paper. Once the rolling-up phase has gone how was the infrastructure provided, expanded and financed over the 50 years after WWII ? In Italy intergovernmental financial relations between municipalities and the central state changed significantly through the 20 th century (fiscal autonomy or dependence from central state transfers, balanced budget obligation or not). An overview of the evolution of intergovernmental financial relations in Italy is given in § 9.1 as a long run prosecution of what has been discussed in sections 5 and 6. The evolution of the regulation of the water and sanitation services in Italy is also described in § 9.2 The lasts paragraphs are focused instead on the financial flows of Milan’s water and sanitation service over the 1953-2000 time period. The (im)balance between Tariff revenues and OPEX is analysed in § 9.3. The investment policy is described too (§ 9.4). Finally the intergenerational cost-sharing over the whole time frame (1888-2000) is estimated using two different methods (§ 9.5). 2 Economic and administrative context 2.1 Economic context At Italy’s unification in 1861, Milan had only 196 109 inhabitants, less than Naples (447 000) and Turin (204 000). The city’s industry was underdeveloped and still mainly composed of 5 small manufactures producing goods for the local market since under the Austrian administration exportation of products from Lombardy to other parts of the Austrian empire were not incentivized at all (Boriani 1982).

  • The Lambro River Valley Greenways System Alessandro Toccolini∗, Natalia Fumagalli, Giulio Senes
    Landscape and Urban Planning 76 (2006) 98–111 Greenways planning in Italy: the Lambro River Valley Greenways System Alessandro Toccolini∗, Natalia Fumagalli, Giulio Senes Institute of Agricultural Engineering, University of Milan, Via Celoria 2, 20133 Milano, Italy Available online 11 November 2004 Abstract The greenways movement in Europe developed differently to its counterpart in the USA, influenced by geographical, economic and cultural differences as well as differences in social and urban development. Europe has seen a discontinuous and fragmented process, diversified in the various countries. The explosion of the greenway concept in Europe is a very recent phenomenon: the European Greenways Association and the Italian Greenways Association both date back only as far as 1998. Clearly, before this date the European countries did see a degree of activity both cultural and operational, but it is equally clear that there was a lack of commonality. Specifically, greenway planning in Italy while on the one hand work has been underway on green trails for many years, on the other there is a clear lack of methodology that allows for the planning of a broader network. This paper has two objectives; firstly to define a methodology useful for greenways planning in Italy at regional level, and secondly, to demonstrate the application of this methodology to a case study. The methodology adopted derives from an approach to planning inspired principally by the work of Ian McHarg and Julius Fabos and already applied by the authors to protected areas in Italy. The methodology is structured in four phases: analysis of the landscape resources, the existing green trail and historical route networks; assessment of each element; composite assessment; and definition of the Greenways Plan.

  • LE MEMORIE DI TRENNO. (Raccolte Da Silvano Acquani)
    LE MEMORIE DI TRENNO. (raccolte da Silvano Acquani). In epoca romana era consuetudine dare agli agglomerati urbani, che si insediavano lungo le grandi arterie, che congiungevano tra loro centri di importanza strategica, commerciale e/o militare, una denominazione corrispondente alla loro distanza, misurata in miglia, dal “municipium” romano, nel nostro caso Mediolanum – Milano. La distanza incisa su cippi in sasso ( le pietre miliari ) è, quindi, testimonianza, sia della presenza dei romani, che di centri abitati. Nella cintura milanese questo fatto è testimoniato da un gran numero di “miliaria”. La grande arteria consolare, che da Mediolanum conduceva ad “Augusta Taurinorum” (Torino) e che oggi corrisponde grosso modo alla via Novara, rappresentava per i traffici romani una importante via di comunicazione. Su questa strada si trovavano Trenno (Trebennius = 3° miglio); Quarto (quarta lapide = 4° miglio); Quinto romano e Settimo milanese, che forse inizialmente erano solo insediamenti militari, stazioni di posta per il cambio di cavalli. Segmento della Tabula Peutingeriana con Mediolanum. CARTE E PERGAMENE TARDOMEDIOEVALI CHE MENZIONANO TRENNO. La prima memoria storica di Trenno porta la data del 17 marzo 877 e risulta in un rogito fra Leone e Sigifrido, preti officiali della chiesa di S. Ambrogio di Milano per un possesso “ in vico et fundo Triennum” nel villaggio e territorio di Trenno. Nel marzo 1017 i decumani, ufficiali e custodi della Basilica di S. Ambrogio, cedono ad Arivaldo di Baggio un campo nel luogo e fondo di Figino, di proprietà della Basilica, ricevendo in cambio un campo nel luogo e fondo di Trenno.

    Malpensa Airport North Railway Link: impact of expected traffic onto the existing network Faculty of Civil and Industrial Engineering Department of Civil Constructional and Environmental Engineering Master Degree in Transport Systems Engineering Candidate: Filippo Zanzarin - 1746819 Supervisor Co-supervisor Prof. Stefano Ricci Ing. Emmanuele Vaghi A.A. 2017-2018 ABSTRACT This work presents an analysis about the performances of the lines and the nodes involved in the upgrade process of Malpensa International Airport accessibility. This study is developed throughout a new complete analysis model consisting of the rational integration of existing methods. The methodology proposed and applied for the evaluation of the railway infrastructural upgrade solutions for the development of the connections between Milan and its airport is conveniently developed and improved according to the study requirements. The evaluation of line and node capacity is carried out considering the actual and future layouts of the railway network at a regional level and the actual and planned services offered by the railway supplier. The results obtained recommend infrastructural upgrades in order to make available the matching network capacity. The analysis of the lines and the nodes involved in this process, as well as the effectiveness of the proposed infrastructural improvements, is strengthened by a scheduling analysis and the application of a simulation method. i TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ..............................................................................................................................................

  • Lo Spazio Urbano Della Piazza D'armi Di Milano: Relazione Storica
    Lo spazio urbano della Piazza d’Armi di Milano: relazione storica Dott. Giorgio Uberti1 Lo spazio urbano oggi occupato dalla Piazza d’Armi, dalla Caserma Santa Barbara e dall’Ospedale Militare di Milano si estende su una superficie che confina a nord con Via Novara e che comprende Via delle Forze Armate. Queste due strade, la cui esistenza è testimoniata da secoli, avvalorano la rilevanza storica dell’area in oggetto. 1. STORIA ANTICA Via Novara, sebbene disposta lungo un tracciato leggermente diverso da quello attuale, era ed è una delle più importanti strade di collegamento da e per la città, già utilizzata nell’età tardo-imperiale (III - IV secolo dopo Cristo) quando Milano, allora Mediolanum, era una delle due capitali dell’Impero Romano d’Occidente2. Si trattava della via Mediolanum – Novaria – Vercellae, grazie alla quale era possibile raggiungere Aosta, il passo del gran San Bernardo e la Gallia Transalpina3. Nella toponomastica di alcune vicine località milanesi è ancora possibile riconoscere il sistema miliare di questa strada: Quarto Cagnino, Quinto Romano e Settimo Milanese4. Via Forze Armate era una delle strade minori, dettagliatamente descritte all’interno degli Statuti delle strade e delle acque del contado di Milano5 del 1346. Anticamente era chiamata Strada de Bagio, dal nome di un villaggio distante circa sette chilometri dalle mura di Milano, già presente nel X secolo dopo Cristo6. Questa strada si distaccava dall’antica via per Novara presso l’attuale piazza De Angeli, località nella quale, ancora nella prima metà del XX secolo, era presente un ponte sul fiume Olona. È possibile ipotizzare che questa strada fosse già utilizzata in epoca tardo-imperiale per collegare Mediolanum con la località di Cesano Boscone, qui infatti sono stati effettuati svariati rinvenimenti archeologici in grado di dimostrare la presenza di un insediamento pagano del IV secolo dopo Cristo.

A vast water basin, the legendary and mysterious Lake Cycling between Lodi and Milan TGerundo, extended in the past from Truc- 10 CYCLING ROUTES FROM PUNTO PARCO CASA DELL’ACQUA IN PAULLO cazzano southwards, flooding most of that land that today is called the “Lodigiano” north from Lodi. Floods of the rivers Adda and Serio formed an area of morasses and marshes, and it is from the Latin word for marsh, “palus” (in Ital- ian “palude”) that the name Paullo is derived. The existence of Lake Gerundo is men- tioned in chronicles and documents until year 1000. Later on, the work of land recla- mation performed throughout Milanese and Lodigiano drained the lake away. Today the remains of this lake can be seen in Mignete (see Routes 1, 4 and 9) hamlet of Zelo Buon Persico, where a vast grove of reeds and wetlands (the famous “Mortone”) can be observed from the morphological terrace near the cycling route towards Lodi, along the Provincial Street SP16. Here it is common to see grey herons, pheasants and other rare birds that have found their ideal View of the Muzza towpath habitat in this environment. 1 Today the names of the places bring back to wetlands was reduced, merging the waters 1965 to make room for an ugly building in memory the legend of Lake Gerundo, with into the «Mutia» (ancient name of the Muzza reinforced concrete.

  • Breve Storia Di Una Comunità Dalle Radici Profonde. Quarto Oggiaro È
    Quarto Oggiaro: Breve storia di una Comunità dalle radici profonde. Quarto Oggiaro è un quartiere di Milano che porta con se ancora una cattiva nomea dagli anni ’80, dovuta al degrado e alle fragilità socio-economiche che hanno contraddistinto non solo la storia del dopoguerra del nostro quartiere ma l’intera narrazione delle periferie italiane. Molti conoscono la storia di Quarto come di un quartiere popolare sorto, a partire dal 1956, per accogliere la migrazione interna proveniente dal sud, impiantando palazzi di edilizia popolare su terreni che componevano la cintura agricola della città di Milano. Di fatto questa è la genesi del quartiere, come la conoscono tutti, pochi conoscono invece la fortissima identità storica di questo luogo e la sua strategica connessione con la città di Milano. In questo articolo proverò a tracciare il filo d’Arianna che unisce la storia del nostro quartiere con quella di Milano, della Lombardia e della penisola Italiana. Quarto Oggiaro è un toponimo abbastanza chiaro, con Quarto si indica le miglia romane dal centro città mentre si è poco discusso sul termine Oggiaro/Uglè/Uglerio così come è riportato dalle fonti storiche. Un analisi dei toponomi vicini a Quarto e della sua composizione ambientale ci proietta direttamente nel VI secolo A.C, quando secondo il cronista Romano Tito Livio, il principe celtico Belloveso a capo di una coalizione di popoli varca le Alpi, sconfigge gli Etruschi nella pianura Padana e fonda la sua città, su una collina che si ergeva su una vasta terra di paludi e acquitrini: la chiamerà Medh-lan , cioè “la terra sopra le acque” , che con il tempo prenderà il nome di Mesiolanum, Mediolanum e infine Milano.

  • Il Futuro Della Valle Dei Monaci Allegato
    Osservatorio per lo studio e la valorizzazione dei territori attraversati dai percorsi lenti Il futuro della Valle dei Monaci Proposte per l’Amministrazione Comunale di Milano e la Città Metropolitana milanese da parte delle Associazioni della Rete Valle dei Monaci Allegato “A” Relazione estesa Milano, luglio 2018 1 Il futuro della Valle dei Monaci: Proposte per l’Amministrazione comunale di Milano e la Città metropolitana milanese da parte delle Associazioni della Rete Valle dei Monaci. Premessa Questo documento vuole fornire alle Amministrazioni competenti e a tutti gli attori del territorio della Valle dei Monaci un supporto di analisi e di proposte per un possibile “Piano d’Area” orientato agli obiettivi di integrazione urbana, territoriale, sociale ed economica. Tali obiettivi sono già perseguiti nell’azione quotidiana degli attuali soggetti costituenti la Rete Valle dei Monaci, i quali ritengono che la loro quotidiana azione necessiti, a questo punto, anche di un impegno pubblico più deciso per questo territorio che, dopo lunghi decenni di indeterminazione e di degrado, ha cominciato a muoversi verso nuove e promettenti direzioni di sviluppo. Prima di dettagliare i temi ritenuti importanti per il Piano d’Area è però necessario trattare due punti prioritari: 1) spiegare che cos’è la Valle dei Monaci; 2) riportare, spiegandoli brevemente, i progetti pubblici e privati che già interessano il territorio del sud-Milano; ovverosia quelli che già intervengono direttamente sul destino della Valle dei Monaci e quelli di contesto urbano più ampio che sono destinati a influire sulle dinamiche locali. Il presente documento non ha pretese di essere esaustivo e può essere integrato in qualsiasi momento, sia da parte dei proponenti che da parte delle Amministrazioni, se queste lo riterranno una base utile per il loro lavoro.
