Martedì 21 Maggio 2019
Cities have deployed innovative policies to reduce urban pollution and incentivize green transportation. At the same time, cities face unprecedented environmental and pollution challenges. It is time to take stock of experiences, evaluate their effectiveness and see how to improve and expand them. This workshop will discuss the environmental impacts of urban policies for two major cities with important road pricing policies and severe environmental problems: Milano and London.
