Genoa Action Plan 2050

- Innovation in territorial use and public space
- Optimisation and modernisation of infrastructures
- Urban regeneration
- Development of multifunctional connections
- Investment in knowledge, education and cross-disciplinary skills
- Improvement of urban governance

The plan is based on three major transitions representing the main challenges and opportunities of the coming years:
- Climate change — Adapting to environmental changes and mitigating natural risks.
- Demographic change — Inclusion, cohesion and intergenerational balance.
- Digital and technological transition — Integrating new technologies into urban systems.
