“Stromboli is an extreme island, characterized by extraordinary beauty but also by the fragility of the natural context and the difficulty of intervention. Here the challenges of sustainability are amplified at all levels.
The search for innovative solutions for mobility and sustainable transport in Stromboli will be a stimulus to explore new frontiers of innovation and creative excellence” explains the head of the research project of the Polytechnic of Milan Pierluigi Coppolafull professor of Transport Planning – Department of Mechanics.
