Fields of Activity: SiTI- Higher Institute on Territorial Systems for Innovation, is a no profit association set up in 2002 between the Politecnico di Torino and the Compagnia di San Paolo, to carry out research and training oriented towards innovation and socio-economic growth. Its activities are concentrated in the following sectors: Logistics and transport, Environmental heritage and urban redevelopment, Environmental protection. Since its foundation in 2002, SiTI carried out several projects and researches in the fields of transport planning oriented towards urban and land sustainable development, sustainable urban mobility and planning, land use management, territorial and economic development, environmental protection and it gained a relevant experience in working with Italian local, regional and national public administration and private stakeholders and with relevant European and international organizations. The “Logistics and Transport” Research Unit has an extensive expertise in Transport Planning, focused on urban and land Sustainable Development. Development of simulation models and system analysis are the main activities carried out by this Research Unit, to study the transport systems at different territorial levels and to provide plans, strategies and actions aimed at easing people’s mobility and rationalising freight transport, meeting society’s environmental, social and economic needs, whilst minimizing transport undesirable impacts.
