Milan City Council has asked the city administration to halt the current environmental assessment procedure for the construction of the new stadium. The objective: to make approval conditional on a prior Health Impact Assessment (HIA), which would analyse in advance and in depth the potential risks associated with demolitions, dust, waste disposal and remediation works.
The city administration will not be obliged to follow the council's bipartisan request, but the motion approved yesterday (22 in favour, 6 against and 22 absent) is causing a political shake-up, writes the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport in this morning's print edition.
