As part of the overall reorganization of the Garibaldi Repubblica area, Alpina has drawn up the technical part of the area urban transformation project. In this framework, the main urban road network (roads, sewers, water supply, public lighting, electrical and data transmission, gas) was engineered and built as were the structures of multilevel flat-top building – the Podio (Podium) – interconnecting the buildings of the Porta Nuova project.

This low flat-top structure interfaces with the large park provided for in the integrated intervention plan and contains the access to the new MM5 Garibaldi Station, and also provides access to the commercial buildings designed by Cesar Pelli.
