Piano Mobilità casa-scuola: Sicura, Sostenible, Autonoma. Mobility Plan Home-School: Safe, sustainable and autonomous (Reggio Emilia)
- Italty Reggio Emilia
Summary
The Mobilità Casa‑Scuola plan of Reggio Emilia is a comprehensive city strategy, grounded in long‑term analysis of school mobility patterns that promotes safe, sustainable, and autonomous school travel through an integrated approach combining infrastructure, education, and mobility management.
The strategy is structured around multiple dimensions: a collaborative framework that aligns stakeholders through shared commitments—supported by mobility managers acting as key intermediaries between schools and the municipality; an educational and playful approach that engages schools, families, and communities; and a spatial dimension that combines school streets, traffic calming, and temporary interventions with everyday mobility practices. These actions are embedded within broader urban planning and funding strategies, ensuring long‑term implementation, while communication and place‑branding efforts reinforce local identity and promote behavioural change. Together, these elements position school mobility as a driver of urban transformation and quality of life, linking everyday practices with wider sustainability goals.
