Geographic accessibility analysis and evaluation of potential changes to the public transportation system. Master degree thesis, 30 credits in Master in Geographical Information Sciences Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystems Science, Lund University ii Geographic accessibility analysis and evaluation of potential changes to the public transportation system Alessandro De Martino Master thesis, 30 credits, in Geographical Information Sciences Supervisor: Lars Harrie Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Sciences Lund University iii iv Abstract In a society which aims to make a major step in the direction of sustainability, it appears necessary to promote efficient alternative modes of travel able to contrast the automobile-dominated urban travel markets. In this study, potential changes to the surface public transportation system in the City of Milan are evaluated. Surface public transportation system can be considered unattractive because of its lack of efficiency. One of the possible reasons that the service is not efficient is the stop spacing. Stop spacing is a significant part of the public transport service design as it affects passengers’ walking time and the operating speed of a route, which affects both transit time and operating costs. A densely spaced public transport station obviously improves the geographic coverage and the accessibility, but also increases in-vehicle time and supply costs. On the other side, eliminating service stops speeds up the system and reduces the operating costs. In the study new stop spacing models are evaluated with the purpose to get the service more efficient increasing the distance between the stops. Working on a broad scale, the model has been created for three different scenarios, with a target distance between the stops set to 400, 500 and 600 meters. Results indicate that eliminating some surface public transport stops (an average of 1.7, 2.5 and 3.4 stops per route for the three model scenarios) could reduce the travel time by, respectively, 3.0%, 4.4% and 5.7%. Results also indicate that the travel time could decrease more in an optimal situation, with traffic light priority and public transport fast tracks for public transport vehicles. The operating costs analyses show that the three different scenarios could reduce the annual cost per km till about 2%. In the study, the analyses made on the mobility demand and on the accessibility were used to evaluate the effects of potential changes to the surface public transport stop spacing system. In particular, the model has positive results on the accessibility, since the accessibility level is lowered just by 1.0%, 1.5% and 1.9% of the cells. The model also has positive results on the mobility. In particular, the analysis made on the mobility demand shows that the travel time averagely decreases for the three scenarios by 1.6%, 1.9% and 2.2%. The transportation time decreases by 2.0%, 3.7% and 5.0% and the pedestrian time changes by - 0.4%, +2.8% and +5.2%. The pedestrian time is balanced by a more efficient surface public transport system. v Acknowledgements First of all I would like to thank my supervisor Lars Harrie for all the helpful comments, guidance and time he gave towards the thesis.

  • Sensitivity of Photooxidant Production in the Milan Basin
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 107, NO. D22, 8188 doi:10.1029/2001JD001263, 2002 Sensitivity of photooxidant production in the Milan Basin: An overview of results from a EUROTRAC-2 Limitation of Oxidant Production field experiment Albrecht Neftel,1 Christoph Spirig,1 Andre´S.H.Pre´voˆt,2 Markus Furger,2 Jochen Stutz,3 Bernhard Vogel,4 and Jens Hjorth5 Received 30 August 2001; revised 12 November 2001; accepted 12 November 2001; published 7 November 2002. [1] The international field experiment Pianura Padana Produzione di Ozono (PIPAPO) studying the volatile organic compounds (VOC)/NOx ozone production sensitivity took place in May and June 1998 downwind of the metropolitan area of Milan. The project was embedded in the framework of the EUROTRAC-2 Limitation of Oxidant Production (LOOP) subproject. Several ground stations between the city of Milan and the Alps north of Milan combined with airborne measurements delivered a comprehensive data set suitable for observation-based analysis and validation of chemical transport models. The special section devoted to the PIPAPO project contains 10 contributions on the characterization of secondary aerosol formation, and radical precursors, and the characterization of ozone production sensitivity based on field measurements and numerical model simulations. In this paper the scientific background and the major objectives of PIPAPO are described. An overview of the field measurement program, the study site, and the meteorological conditions prevailing during the experiment are given. A general conclusion of the combined results is that under typical summer conditions in the Milan area with clear skies, low wind speeds and high temperatures, the transition from VOC- to NOx-sensitive ozone production occurs a few tens of kilometers downwind of the strongest emission sources in the city of Milan.

  • Challenges Regarding Refugees on Labour Market
    31st August 2018 FAB project Municipality of Milan research report - challenges regarding refugees on labour market Matteo Matteini Each city has its own culture and traditions, and that of Milan is one of solidarity and strong work ethic, encapsulated in the “Ambrosian model”: practical assistance in critical moments, concrete social intervention and ethical credibility. Each diverse and unique background can only add to this. Cristina Tajani Municipality of Milan Labor Policies, Business Commerce and Human Resources FAB project Report August 2018 Municipality of Milan research report - challenges regarding refugees on labour market 3 (30) Summary Milan’s economy is solid and dynamic. By 2016, the improvement in Milanese job demand was positive and 110,000 new jobs were created. At the same time, the Milanese labour market exceeded the quota reached in 2008 for the first time since the economic crisis. Some factors are to be considered exogenous, such as the EXPO effect that led to an increase in temporary contracts in 2015 and the Jobs Act, the new labour market reform that came into force in March 2015 and this year should show the effects of its three-years’ defiscalization programme. In general we can consider the city of Milan a supportive ecosystem for diverse facet of social fragility, capable of tackling complex issues with its resourceful network of businesses, institutions, non for profit organizations and grass rooted civic initiatives. Reacting to the recent inflow of refugees, Milan is still readjusting from an emergency phase to a strategic plan. In fact, the huge number of people, first transiting and then establishing, put the City under pressure and demanded quick responses, draining most of the resources and capacity.

  • Agglomeration Economies and Urban Productivity: the Case of the High-Tech Industry in the Milan Metropolitan Area
    AGGLOMERATION ECONOMIES AND URBAN PRODUCTIVITY: THE CASE OF THE HIGH-TECH INDUSTRY IN THE MILAN METROPOLITAN AREA Roberta Capello University of Molise Department of Economics and Politecnico di Milano Dipartimento di Economia e Produzione Piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32 20133 Milano Italy 1. Introduction A large consensus exists among urban and regional economists on the importance of agglomeration economies in defining urban productivity and growth. Uneven urban growth is interpreted as the result of different factor productivity levels which, on their turn, are mostly influenced by city size, i.e. by the size of the market. Born within the original contributions of Marshall (1919) and Weber (1929), who were the first to signal the existence of location economies and external advantages in spatially clustered production, the theoretical debate has expanded around the reasons for the existence of production agglomerations, directly and indirectly embedded in the works of geographers like Christaller (1933), economists like Lösch (1954), Hotelling (1929), Isard (1956) Myrdal (1957), Kaldor (1970) and more recently Mills (1970 and 1993), Henderson (1985), just to quote some of them. However, the emerging limits in the explanation of production agglomeration in these theories have moved the debate towards the concept of urbanisation economies, mentioned for the first time in the work of Hoover (1937). Adam Smith proposed for the first time the idea that productivity increases with the scale of production because increased scale allows firms and workers to specialise in specific tasks, and specialisation and division of labour increases productivity. The ability to exploit these economies of scale depends on the size of the market.

Symposium / Rescaling Immigration Paths: Emerging Settlement Patterns beyond Gateway Cities, edited by Eduardo Barberis and Emmanuele Pavolini Local Immigrant Incorporation Pathways in Small-Scale Cities Pakistani Immigrants in a Province of Northern Italy by Paola Bonizzoni and Roberta Marzorati doi: 10.2383/81430 1. Introduction In this paper we will explore the local incorporation processes of Pakistani im- migrants in Central Brianza (a highly industrialized area in Northern Italy), in the light of some key characteristics of the small-sized towns in which they have rooted their lively networks. Following Çağlar [2007] and Glick Schiller, Çağlar and Guld- brandsen [2006], we investigate the social fields established by immigrants in terms of forms of social relations conveying crucial resources for their local incorporation process. Incorporation pathways can take, as we shall see, ethnic or non-ethnic forms, depending on the degree to which they build on social relationships with claims to common culture, descent or history, articulated within more formally organized con- texts, but also woven into everyday spaces of proximity.
