In Lambrate, Milan, a new cloud data center is set to be established at Via Rubattino 84, accompanied by a paid parking facility. This initiative, led by Mayor Sala, will convert 200 free parking spots into 240-250 paid spaces, primarily for non-residents.

The decision has sparked controversy over urban planning responsibilities and the ethical considerations of spending €12 million plus VAT on a concrete structure instead of community-focused projects like schools or parks. The project has faced opposition regarding both its legality and its impact on local residents, who are losing free parking access.
