  The role of underground transportation inside Milano’s Smart City perspective

  Making a Smart City out of a city is a complex process involving deep-rooted innovation with regard to: tangible and intangible infrastructures, the lifestyles of citizens; the regeneration and design of public spaces, strategies and tools to develop the economy and the handling of complexities. Public administration on its own cannot transform a city into a smart city, but it does have the task of creating a favourable environment where the best and blue chip players within its area work successfully towards common and shared goals. Milano Smart City is committed to a systemic and coordinated management of urban mobility, which means reorganizing the transport demand effectively, improving the use of public transport services and providing better short-term and long-term parking systems.The city wants to enhance liveability by promoting all forms of sustainable mobility where getting around the city becomes a pleasure, a moment of conscious choice with no waste nor waiting and with a reduced environmental impact. Mobility is smart if it leads to a better quality of life through effective, accessible and intelligent tools aimed at the optimization of resources for all citizens, tourists and city users.The paper briefly recalls the key theme related to Smart City, with a focus on Smart Mobility, then after a historical digression on Milan, describes the Transport Integrate System which connects Metro System, Railway System and Airports. The experience of Metro line 5 closes the paper, underlining the rule of underground transportation inside a Smart City Perspective.Key Words: Smart City, Underground Transportation, Infrastructures, Integrate System.
