Planning and Designing Transport Infrastructures for Sustainability: the Great Project NAPLEST

Abstract

In this paper transport infrastructures are presented highlighting their role  in promoting sustainable mobility, i.e. reducing congestion and therefore improving the quality of the environment within which they are conceived. The implementation of the Great Project Naplest in the city of Naples in the south of Italy is here reported as case study. The latter is made up of an integrated set of actions with the objective of overcoming the problems of traffic saturation and therefore of reducing pollutants’ emissions in the existing road network with the subsequent renewal of the eastern part of the city itself.
