- Milan wants to avoid going back to its polluted ways when the COVID-19 lockdown is lifted.
- The city is planning to build 35km of new cycle routes and to give pedestrians more space by widening pavements.
- Even the metro will get new measures to allow passengers to practise social distancing.
- Work on this ambitious transformation could start as early as May.

Politicians are fond of talking about the new normal in a world changed by coronavirus. But Milan is actively looking beyond the end of lockdown with plans for a much cleaner city.
