Prometeon
Urban redevelopment through a technological rooftop garden that promotes biodiversity in the heart of Milan.
Project overview
Urban green spaces play a key role in biodiversity conservation, and measuring their environmental impact requires innovative solutions. In this context, in 2024, Prometeon launched an environmental monitoring project on the rooftop of Superlab Bicocca, installing 29 wild pollinator refuges and a Polly X for air quality monitoring, with the goal of enhancing biodiversity on the rooftop.

Main phases of the project
In the early months of 2024, Prometeon conducted a biodiversity assessment of Superlab Bicocca and the surrounding area, with the intention of introducing native plant species on the rooftop. These plants were selected to enrich local biodiversity and provide refuges for wild pollinators such as butterflies, ladybugs, and solitary bees. Satellite imagery was used to provide an overview of the biodiversity potential of the Milan site.
