San Giuseppe Vesuviano, Striano e Terzigno • 53.000 inhabitants •High quality agricolture products •Tertiary industry productions •Vesuvio National Park 2020 Objectives •CO2 emissions reduction beyond 20% (between 26% and 29%) •Increased energy savings and efficiency •Increased renewable energy production •Increase sustainable mobility beyond 20% •Add adaptation measures in the Seap 8 PRE in San Giuseppe Vesuviano (IT) - 29th July 2015 Seap plan for Paes Vesuviano Tertiary industry: •Phasing out use of oil and electricity for heating •PV, wind and cogeneration to produce electricity •Shift to LED technologies for lighting •Improve energy management •Introduce highjly efficient system to preserve food Mobility with cold chain and also for cool air •Resilient Sump Residential: • Improve efficiency of any system: heating incl. Biomass, household appliances and Public buildings: lighting, vehicles and buildings •Improve efficiency of heating system, vehicles and • Exploit PV and solar termal buildings • Provide incentives to: •Shift to LED technology for public lighting a. Create green area and green roof •Buy only certified green energy b. To install rainwater recovery systems 9 PRE in San Giuseppe Vesuviano (IT) - 29th July 2015 Who is joining us to make an area resilient SUMP?

The concept includes different areas of intervention • Disaster defences and preparedness for facing extreme events • Social cohesion and local economy • Global challenges: climate change, environmental sustainability • Adaptive and proactive capacity of local institutions 11 PRE in San Giuseppe Vesuviano (IT) - 29th July 2015 How to include Resilience in Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning? The EU SUMP concept incorporates resilience? Partly Yes! • It deals with sustainability, social inclusion, participatory approach, horizontal and vertical integration, assessment and monitoring of the Plan But Resilience can further characterise the SUMP • An adaptive SUMP increase flexibility • Depending on the focus, it can be used as a guiding criteria for prioritising mobility policies and thus targeting resources • It can foster integration with other strategies and staff (e.g. emergency plan) • It can be used for preserving and/or reclaiming natural and infrastructural assets 12 PRE in San Giuseppe Vesuviano (IT) - 29th July 2015 How to include Resilience in Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning? How we need to be flexible/adaptive? • Some cities might have dedicated infrastructures, staff, vehicles as well as supplementary resources to face emergencies and problems • Some other might not have this secured and supplementary units and resources • This means that the ordinary mobility system has to be enough flexible to switch to the “emergency mode”, Plan B or to be easily rebuilt/replaced or managed in a “lowcost mode” in case of lack of resources for a temporary or permanent crisis • Do not forget that citizens themselves have to be adaptive for properly responding not only to crisis but also to unexpected or temporary changes • Being flexible and prepared/aware of the need to use different means of transport and mobility solutions is a value 13 PRE in San Giuseppe Vesuviano (IT) - 29th July 2015 Examples of temporary or unexpected changes in the mobility system 14 PRE in San Giuseppe Vesuviano (IT) - 29th July 2015 The mobility system as a tool for urban resilience: emergency situations • Traffic control systems • Real-time information on road panels and public transport • Use of public transport for evacuation plans • Use of PT and cycle lanes for emergency corridors • Use of city logistics schemes and facilities for coordinating operations 15 PRE in San Giuseppe Vesuviano (IT) - 29th July 2015 Resilience in the SUMP starting phase Extend the commitment to Resilience from the beginning Include international initiatives Include risk assessment Build the resilience team Consider unexpected events Conduct “stress tests” of the different scenarios and always prepare to be flexible 16 PRE in San Giuseppe Vesuviano (IT) - 29th July 2015 Thanks for your attention!
