Review of transport policies in italian urban areas

Here are some elements derived from a critical review of project and implemented in the main Italian cities for improving air qua

MAIN PURPOSES OF THE REVIEW Make a national inventory of the ongoing projects Evaluate how project aims and contents are presented to stakeho Assess environmental performance of analyzed projects Analyse people level of information, communication and feedback transferability of experiences in different urban contexts

ACTIVITIES: Analysis of the projects adopted in Italian cities In order to frame Italian experiences, analysis of the projects Framework Programs of the European Union

Documents from Italian local authorities (Municipal reports on Final reports of projects of the European Framework Programs Web pages of Italian Municipalities, Italian Local Environmenta Union, Information Service on Local Mobility of the European Uni
