The Municipality of Genoa joined the Covenant of Mayors.The first step was the preparation of the SEAP - Plan of Action for the Sustainable
Energy - which analyzes and measures the state of the art in 2005 and identifies actions that will bring the necessary corrections for environmental protection, such
as:
A commercial port that can reduce emissions and open up to the public
The improvement of freight and people transport by train
The sustainable restoration of the old town
Support for zero-impact buildings and neighbourhoods
Smart grids and local energy production
An efficient energy saving public lighting system

KEY CITY POLICIES: SAFE CITY
Education for citizenship and the rule of law, particularly in schools
Prevention through social (i.e. “streetwork education” project) and neighborhood rehabilitation (i.e. “presidi di legalità”), through the
defense of the territory (neighborhood cameras, intelligent system of video surveillance and alarm on public transport; parking sensor system for
people with disabilities; fraud management system for the elderly) and through the full and sincere cooperation with the Police
Active participation of citizens in their own safety(i.e. definition of a model, unique in Italy, which provides integration between
the different actors that overlap and coordinate the management of territorial presence, each with different skills, with different objectives, in
areas and territorial different times)

BACKGROUND OF EGOVERNMENT POLICY AND INITIATIVES
ISAAC: ISAAC is a multi-disciplinary project aiming to valorise cultural assets as tourism resources
through user-friendly and stakeholder-relevant e-services.Creation of a multimedia web platform aimed at promoting tourism in the territory.
Genova Wi-Fi and Winnovate: The service is open to residents, but it is also the first brick to do local marketing to the
extent that the "request for enhanced connectivity" is increasingly part of the habits of people who travel for business or pleasure.
City Wi-Fi system where people can connect to the Internet for free for two hours according to the rules laid down by the "Free Italia Wi-Fi " to which we adhered.
ICity:Involvement of new User-Driven Open Innovation ecosystems in supporting the widest
possible creation of public interest services available in urban areas of Smart Cities.Creation of a specific system connecting different city elements (cable networks, Wi-Fi
networks, sensors platforms existing in the city) for the automatic acquisition of the parking state in spaces reserved for vehicles equipped with certificate for people with
disabilities

THE GENOA PILOT’S CHALLENGE
The aim is to develop an environmental protection system, in terms of hydrological risk, based on the area of Fort Santa Tecla
The recent experience of the flooding showed how the traditional system of governance enabled from the city for the management of environmental
emergencies must make some adjustments
Municipality of Genoa, the first level of contact and accountability to local citizens, must adapt itself to climate change, going to redefine risk and
emergency management protocols, in order to consider, then to communicate the true meaning of the alert levels
The role of the Municipality as an activator and driving force of solidarity networks (neighbors, owners of safe buildings and facilities, ...), in order to
build an informal system of social protection ready to take action if necessary
17
THE GENOA PILOT’S CHALLENGEOur main goals are:
Increased awareness on climate change and environmental risk at formal and informal level
Increased solidarity system
Raised feelings of shared responsibility in risk management activities
Raised feelings of shared responsibility in decision making process on risk management behaviors
18
GENOA PILOT CHALLENGE LAUNCH
It is planned to partner with a permanent local TV to be entrusted with the responsibility of communication during the process of emergency
management
These sponsor will take an active role:
The Police, The Municipality of Genoa, the subsidiaries of the City (AMT AMIU, ASTER), the University of Genoa, the Professional Orders of
Architects, Geologists and Engineers, Protezione Civile, local television stations, in particular Primocanale
Human resources: citizen and business participation
Financial resources: Municipal, Regional and State funds allocated specifically for the flood. Companies willing to allocate funds and
equipment to tackle the various phases of the emergency and its effects
19
FUTURE INTERNET & SMART CITY VISION
“A Smart City, in fact, should be able to put every interaction and connection to good use in order to prove the final result, i.e.
people’s quality of life” – Marta Vincenzi, Mayor of Genoa, 2010 –
Periphèria Smart Cities Network is an opportunity to share and make connections with the experiences of our city on the Smart Cities issues
(synergy of Smart projects already undertaken and other networks, with the Association of Genoa Smart City)
Communication and information, as well as education are essential:Future Internet will boost the change and lead the path to a more
sustainable future
20
IMPACT OF PERIPHÈRIA ON SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR GENOA
Participating in the Periphèria network means City of Genoa can compare and legitimizenew forms and models of active participation of citizens
Periphèria is an opportunity for citizens to reclaim the territory through its valorisation
The Fort St. Tecla pilot, demonstrating the historical and cultural value of Genoa, is part of the larger project of recovering the city historical fortification system (whose
management is scheduled to move from the Italian State to the Municipality of Genoa).Through Periphèria, the enhancement will be implemented in a smart key which will become
a recovery model for similar areas
