- Project Details:
Mobility, efficiency, environmental protection and much more for a Sustainable Poggibonsi. A community that intends to make its contribution to the fight against climate change through a set of multi-year actions that develop and will develop starting from commitments made first in the city government program 2019-2024. The Municipality of Poggibonsi has launched a central planning phase for the future of the area. A path that will see, over the next two years, the construction of four urban instruments: the new Structural Plan, the Urban Plan for Sustainable Mobility (SUMP), the Action Plan for Sustainable Energy and the Climate (SECAP) and the reorganization plan of the municipal solid waste management and collection service. Alongside the planning process, the Municipality has activated a process of information and participation “Poggibonsi For Future”, to accompany, in a shared and participatory way, the drafting of the four urban planning instruments, throughout their entire process. It is a single and integrated path on the themes of mobility, energy saving and efficiency, waste collection and territorial governance.
