flag Milan's 2026 Olympic Village is nearly done but missing key facilities, over budget, and faces criticism over student housing affordability.

flag Four months before the 2026 Winter Olympics, Milan’s Olympic Village—built on a redeveloped rail yard—is mostly complete but lacks essential services like gyms, canteens, and medical centers despite a 140 million euro cost, 40 million over budget. flag The eight residential blocks will house 1,700 athletes and later convert into student housing with 450 discounted beds at 592 euros monthly, though this remains below market rates amid a 30,000-bed student housing shortfall. flag Political criticism has emerged over affordability and developer negotiations, while the site, once a crime-ridden area, now features green spaces and cultural landmarks.
