Vicenza Italy

The Municipality of Vicenza participated in SIMPLA integrated capacity building package (training and coaching), starting the training phase in June 2017 with a SEAP dating back to 2013, with the first monitoring completed in 2015 and a decision to develop a SECAP by December 2019 supported by two projects (Veneto Adapt and Epicuro - European Partnership for Innovative Cities within an Urban Resilient Outlook). On the mobility side, Vicenza had a PUM (Urban Mobility Plan) pursuant to Law 340/2000 and through the SOLEZ project funded by the Central Europe program, Vicenza aimed to further upgrade and update its mobility planning activity for the city’s Functional Urban Area. During the coaching phase a full harmonization process was conducted on the strategic energy and mobility plans, following the SIMPLA methodology. At the end of the harmonization process, the following documentation was handed over to the Municipality of Vicenza: - SEAP revised and updated; - PUM reviewed and updated; - Comparative analysis of the databases used in SEAP, PUM and SOLEZ Action Plan; - Comparative analysis of the actions contained in SEAP, PUM and SOLEZ Action Plan; - Harmonization report, complete in all its sections. The Municipality of Vicenza, following the harmonization process conducted according to the methodology promoted by the SIMPLA project and implemented by the harmonization team appointed by the Municipality with support from Area Science Park’s coaches, commits to follow up the results achieved and undertake the steps necessary to complete the approval process of its updated SEAP and PUM so that they are harmonized with each other and with the main regulatory instruments and reference plans. The internal procedures for managing the plans will ensure that they, thus aligned, continue in their implementation while maintaining the obtained alignment and harmonization.
