Protests Emerge Against Planned Demolition of MTM Water Tower in Rho
The Collettivo Rhosso di Sera has requested the preservation of the piezometric tower at the former MTM site on Via Moscova in Rho, scheduled for demolition on January 17 via controlled explosives. The group argues for protecting the tower as an industrial archaeology monument, emphasizing the importance of maintaining historical structures to honor the memory of past workers.
Concerns have been raised regarding the demolition process, including a potential conflict with an appeal process that allows for objections within sixty days, while the demolition is set to occur in thirty. The property is owned by a company seemingly established solely for this purpose, linked to the multinational real estate group Goodman. The area is designated for residential and logistics development, potentially including a new Data Center, amid ambiguous discussions in the local council regarding future urban planning.
