Gallaratese is a district ("quartiere") of Milan, Italy, part of the Zone 8 administrative division of the city.
It borders on the comune of Pero to the north and on the districts of Trenno to the west and Lampugnano to the south; to the east, its ideal border is the eponymous street, which in turn is named after Gallarate, the town it leads to.
The project for the Gallaraterse district was first laid down by architect Piero Bottoni in the mid 20th century.
The objective was to create a low-income housing district with green areas, effective traffic connection to the city, and functional public services.
[1] The original plan by Bottoni was then refined and developed by over 60 architects, led by Gianluigi Reggio.
