In its drive to improve the Milanese area, Milano Metropoli has always worked alongside the local authorities to promote a more robust infrastructure network and better overall mobility.
The projects and initiatives in which our Agency has been involved to this end, focus especially on how the interventions are integrated and on their environmental sustainability. We also propose innovative models of governance and of technical knowledge-sharing among infrastructure experts and public decision makers/engineers. Such projects and initiatives include:

• Environmental compensation for the Pedemontana Lombarda motorway (2008-2009). A feasibility study on how best to remedy the loss of environmental resources resulting from the new motorway, financed by Autostrada Pedemonta Lombarda. Within the context of this study, Milano Metropoli investigated the possibility of using the compensation budget to activate and co-fund further resources that would enable environmental interventions in the area affected by the motorway to be developed and improved. We also proposed models for managing the cycle paths and green spaces created within the context of environmental compensation plan.
  
  
• Traffic information governance model in the Milanese Urban Region (2009). A project launched in partnership with Milano Serravalle to reconstruct the scenario of the traffic information processes already existing and currently being set up in the Milanese Urban Region. The project involved an initial stage focusing on state-of-the-art traffic information systems and best practices, and a second stage focusing on mapping the main mobility management players operating in the Milan area as well as the stakeholders and institutions interested in the subject.
  
  

• Seminara: "Innovation and new motorway infrastructure: comparison between international best practices" (2008-2009). A cycle of meetings organized by Milano Metropoli in order to start building shared technical knowledge, even if at different levels, between motorway infrastructure experts and public decision-makers/engineers. In the first cycle of seminars, held in 2008, subjects included: road safety, traffic information systems, the environmental impact of major roadworks, safeguarding the landscape and the most effective toll systems. The second cycle, organized in 2009, focused on the relationship between infrastructure and local development, on the link between infrastructure and major events and on the link between the transport system, ports and logistics.  

In 2003 and 2005, Milano Metropoli Development Agency also coordinated two feasibility studies on Sustainable Mobility for North Milan. To view or download the relevant texts, visit the Studi e Pubblicazioni section of this website.
