Mobility and Transport System
Genova Towards a Sustainable and Connected Future
Genova is transforming its mobility system through innovative and sustainable projects, aimed at improving accessibility, reducing environmental impact, and making urban transport more efficient and interconnected. The city focuses on green and technological solutions, promoting integrated mobility between public transport, cycling infrastructure, and digital innovations.
Among the key initiatives, the sustainable mobility plan (PUMS) guides the development of the city's transport system, fostering public transport, soft mobility, and intermodality. The 4 Assi di Forza project, with 139 new electric buses and advanced infrastructure, will revolutionize public transport, while the cycling network continues to expand with dedicated paths, bike stations, and cycle parking, improving safety and accessibility for cyclists.
The Intelligent Urban Mobility project introduces cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and IoT, creating a smarter and more sustainable traffic management system, with the Mobility Lab at Porto Antico as a hub for innovation.
New transport infrastructures further enhance mobility: the cable car to the Forts park will connect the city center to historic sites with a fast and scenic route, while the metro expansion and Skymetro project will improve connections between the city center and surrounding valleys. Finally, the Moving Walkway and Erzelli Funicular will strengthen the link between the airport, railway, and technology hub, offering modern and efficient solutions for both residents and travelers.
With these initiatives, Genova is establishing itself as a model of innovative and sustainable mobility, ensuring a more livable, accessible, and future-oriented city.
