The Zone 8 of Milan, since 2016 officially Municipality 8 of Milan, (in Italian: Zona 8 di Milano, Municipio 8 di Milano) is one of the 9 administrative divisions of Milan, Italy. [1]
It was officially created as an administrative subdivision during the 1980s. On 14 April 2016, in order to promote a reform on the municipal administrative decentralization, the City Council of Milan established the new Municipality 8, a new administrative body responsible for running most local services, such as schools, social services, waste collection, roads, parks, libraries and local commerce. [2]
The zone lies on the north-western part of the city.
The zone includes the following districts:
The area has its own local authority called Consiglio di Municipio (Municipal Council), composed by the President and 30 members directly elected by citizens every five years. The Council is responsible for most local services, such as schools, social services, waste collection, roads, parks, libraries and local commerce in the area, and manages funds (if any) provided by the city government for specific purposes, such as those intended to guarantee the right to education for poorer families.
The President is Giulia Pelucchi (PD), elected on 3–4 October 2021.
