As part of the European Mobility Week, a meeting will be held on September 19 at Palazzo Martini, focusing on parking policy. The discussion will be led by Eleonora Frigerio, an expert in parking planning and monitoring from the Mobility Environment and Territory Agency (Amat) of the Municipality of Milan.
Who is Eleonora Frigerio
Eleonora Frigerio plays a crucial role within Amat, an agency that has supported municipal functions in various areas related to planning and territorial management since 2000. Her responsibilities include urban planning, mobility, public transport, and road safety. Amat also addresses environmental issues such as air quality and water resources, while tackling topics related to the circular economy and climate change.
Sustainable Development Goals
The Milanese agency operates according to the principles of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations, with a particular focus on Goal 11: “Sustainable Cities and Communities.” This goal aims to make urban settlements inclusive, safe, and sustainable, highlighting the importance of urban planning for sustainable development.
Parking Planning
Parking policy plays a crucial role in managing mobility demand in cities. Amat conducts mapping activities of parking availability through detailed analyses. These studies include the georeferencing of available parking spaces, which are categorized based on their type — from paid parking to spaces reserved for residents or people with disabilities.
Additionally, the agency analyzes parking demand by monitoring vehicles parked both legally and illegally. This data collection includes information on different types of vehicles (cars, trucks, motorcycles) and the manner in which parking occurs (authorized or unauthorized).
Collaboration with the Municipality of Milan
Amat actively collaborates with the Municipality of Milan in formulating and evaluating plans related to urban mobility. The agency conducts periodic checks on paid parking to ensure compliance with contractual terms and to optimize the efficiency of the services offered.
The analyses conducted by Amat serve as valuable tools for the municipal administration in addressing territorial issues related to parking.
With this meeting in Riva del Garda, the aim is to raise awareness about the management of public spaces dedicated to parking and the importance of integrated planning to ensure more sustainable and efficient mobility in urban areas.
