Fig. 3 The SDGs related to the mobility and transport initiatives at Politecnico di Torino
Based on these premises, monitoring the mobility of PoliTO users is the first step
to understand what to do for:
– the promotion of quality, safety, efficiency and awareness inside and outside of the
campus;
– regulating cycle paths and car parking areas;
– improving relations between all poles of the campus and the City of Turin.
All these actions can be mapped along the SDGs 7, 9, 10 and 11, as illustrated in
Fig. 3.
6 Urban Outreach
This actions field includes two fundamental focuses: a first one, towards the city and
the society, and a second one, directed to PoliTO’s internal community.
With regard to the first one, a strategic point of the urban outreach strategy of
PoliTO is the preservation of existing facilities and buildings as well as to increase
the recognition of urban places used by university users (buildings, paths, bars, study
rooms etc.) and to strengthen of the sense of belonging in the city of Turin. PoliTO’
sites are located all over the metropolitan area, offering a widespread and multi-polar
system of services, which are highly interconnected and permeable with the local
resources, including public and private companies and institutions of all levels. The
dialogue between university and local authorities is encouraged by PoliTO’s board
of directors in order to support the development of common strategies to feed local
service companies and services to the city users, especially the students enrolling
every year from many different countries.
In relation to the aspects outlined in the “campus settings” section, the reuse of
historical building like the Valentino Castle, as well as the refurbishment of former industrial sites, like Mirafiori and Lingotto campuses, outline the importance
of PoliTO in the urban valorisation of green, brownfields or restricted areas, now
available to the citizens, including students, employees and local residents.
The action field directed to PoliTO’s internal community is a second important
focus of Urban outreach strategy. In line with recent trends in the sustainability
science, great attention is paid to quality of life and environmental responsibility of PoliTO’s campus operations. For the PoliTO’s community, being sustainable
