In the next few years, new and important motorways are scheduled to be built in the region of Lombardy. Considering that the area of Lombardy is highly congested, these facilities will have to be carefully planned so as to respect the environment, the landscape, quality, and safety.
Keeping this in mind, Milano Metropoli - Agenzia di Sviluppo decided to organise a series of meetings aimed at enhancing technical and design know-how, that will allow those in charge of planning the infrastructures to openly share their ideas with the officials of the government agencies. International best practices will be at the heart of those conferences.
