A new trend arose following the reconstruction of the city due to damages incurred during World War II: the city is now able to combine modernity with its existing context through the works of BBPR, Luigi Caccia Dominioni, Ignazio Gardella & Franco Albini. These architects introduced the renowned design which is nowadays identified with Milan.

Owing to its ambitious projects, Milan has transformed from an industrial city to a global capital of culture, fashion & leisure.
