Municipalities in Italy are implementing new urban development and infrastructure modernization plans. In Lissone, the administration is advancing a General Urban Traffic Plan (PGTU) to manage mobility and reduce transit traffic. 

In Piacenza, the local government has introduced a new General Urban Plan (PUG) titled ‘Prospettiva Piacenza’, which focuses on ecology, innovation, and urban regeneration. This has evolved into a specific partnership with Edison Next to finance smart city upgrades. This project includes modernizing public lighting to reduce energy consumption by an estimated 58%, installing video surveillance for security, and implementing smart parking and electric vehicle charging stations.
