Territorial Plan of the Province of Piacenza
Technical support in the drafting of the Territorial Plan of the Province of Piacenza (Piano Territoriale di Area Vasta) TRT has been commissioned by the Province of Piacenza to provide technical support in the drafting of the Territorial Plan of the Province (PTAV) in line with the new Regional Planning Law No. 24/2017. Project activities included the definition and evaluation of alternative mobility and transport scenarios within the time frame of the Territorial Plan of Piacenza Province. In this context, the main tasks concerned: the update of the knowledge framework of the mobility and transport system in the Province of Piacenza; the development of a reference scenario and two alternative evolving scenarios. The first, tendential, includes interventions planned and not implemented by the current Territorial Plan (PTCP). The second scenario is based on a selection of interventions and measures that respond to the ASI (Avoid, Shift, Improve) strategy, including measures to manage mobility demand and in favour of alternative modes to motorized private vehicles; the evaluation of alternative scenarios, both from a transport and environmental perspective, was also carried out with the support of the traffic simulation model at the 2032 horizon; the provision of technical support to the Public Administration in the interaction with the stakeholders; the providing of technical contribution in the drafting of intermediate and final reports. The final document includes four preliminary modelling tests to identify the best route alternative for the so-called “median road“ of the province.. A further test concerned the complex interconnection system between motorways A21, A1 and State Road SS9. The intervention includes: a new connection between the Rottofreno tollgate on the A21 and the Basso Lodigiano tollgate on the A1, the downgrading of the Piacenza section of the A21, a new bridge over the Po river as a variant to the SS9.

City of Tirana, Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan
The first Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan for the capital city of Tirana, Albania The study is part of a larger initiative called SUMSEEC II (Energy-efficient Urban Mobility in South-eastern European Countries), funded by the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and implemented by GIZ. TRT supported the Municipality of Tirana in the development of their first SUMP, according to the latest European guidelines. The process started in October 2019, and was finalized in July 2020. The planning process pursued a strong collaboration with the different city departments and local stakeholders. Four large workshop were organized at relevant milestones, to guarantee the participatory approach that characterize a SUMP. The first part of the process was aimed at building a comprehensive analysis of the current city status based on previous studies, evidences collected on the field, discussions and feedbacks gathered from the stakeholders in dedicated workshop and surveys held until January 2020. The second part, focused on the drafting of the planning document itself, was accompanied by series of online focus groups and questionnaires that guaranteed and facilitated the participative process despite the lockdown in Tirana during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak in Spring 2020. The proposed planning scenario is the result of the assessment of three alternative options by means of a Multi-Criteria Analysis. It includes a set of coordinated measures structured in six key strategies identified as founding policy pillars that respond to Tirana’s mobility challenges.
