Up2030 - Urban Planning and design ready for 2030
Project
The UP2030 - Urban Planning and Design ready for 2030 project aims to help the socio-technical transitions necessary for cities to achieve their objectives of climate neutrality and resilience to extreme climate events. More specifically, also contribute to the following cross-cutting priorities: zero pollution, sustainable digitalisation and sustainable ICT, interoperability and shared standards and accessibility and social inclusion, paying due attention to solutions that address the accessibility of housing and families in vulnerable situations.

Aims
The overall objective of UP2030 is to leverage integrated urban planning and design solutions to drive the socio-technical transitions required by our cities to achieve the objectives of the Climate Neutral Cities Mission by 2030;
The concept of Attitudes - Facilitators - Infrastructure (AFI) is adopted in the project, which will allow the identification of those components that pilot cities must integrate to guide the socio-technical transitions mentioned above. The AFI framework presents three conditions necessary to move the system towards sustainability:
• Recognition of the attitudes of all interested parties (i.e. values and knowledge);
• The identification of facilitators to translate attitudes into action (incentives and conditions);
• The creation of a sustainable infrastructure (the supply systems and the physical infrastructure).
Actions
The role of the Municipality of Milan will mainly be expressed in the following actions:
• Construction of a pilot case (identified in the Scalo di Porta Romana area);
• Study and implementation of the solutions proposed by the project;
• Communication and dissemination of the results obtained and the strategy adopted;
• Involvement of citizens and local stakeholders thanks to the communication of the results obtained and the future possibilities obtained thanks to the project.
Expected results
• Romana Park will be the natural heart of the project, a natural meadow free of architectural barriers that will make the former railway site usable within the surrounding urban fabric, creating a new public good rich in biodiversity. The Masterplan envisages, within the redevelopment project, the creation of the Olympic Village for Milan-Cortina 2026, which will become a student village at the end of the Olympic Games adventure;
• The Municipality of Milan would like to take advantage of the transformations that will affect the Scalo di Porta Romana area in the coming years to develop an adaptation and resilience strategy for the entire neighborhood;
• Qualitative and quantitative analysis will be at the center of the transition process that the area is facing;
• The resilience framework driven by an innovative transformation process will help the city to apply a multidimensional approach, taking into consideration potential shocks and stresses that the area is facing and could face after the regeneration process.
