The document provides an overview of mobility in Genoa, Italy. It details the city's population density, road network, vehicle fleet, and key challenges related to its hilly terrain and limited space. Public transportation accounts for 43% of trips, consisting of buses, a metro line, ferries, and trains. The city's Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan, approved in 2010, aims to improve pollution, safety, travel times through investments in public transit, cycling infrastructure, parking policies, and restricted traffic zones through 2024. The mobility department also leads innovation projects to promote sustainable transportation.
