LEADING THE WAY IN URBAN INCLUSIVITY

Milan and Rome both scores as Rapid Raisers, halfway along the Inclusion path, but are showing an acceleration and are actively implementing strategic initiatives aimed at diminishing the disparity with more advanced cities. Their commitment to inclusivity through various policies and initiatives is promoting diversity and equality, setting high standards for urban development.

Milan: Crafting a Future of Inclusive Spaces and Sustainable Environments

Recognized as a significant financial hub in Italy and Europe, Milan has distinguished itself in recent years in the fields of innovation, research, and development, thereby enhancing economic inclusivity. With positive demographic indicators for the future and high health standards, the city is growing towards greater social inclusion with initiatives aimed at improving the well-being of its residents. Recent advancements in infrastructure, coupled with competitive transportation costs, make Milan more attractive and position it among cities committed to promoting spatial inclusion. Although still lagging behind Northern European cities, Milan is striving to transform into a more dynamic, inclusive, and sustainable environment. With a 2030 plan targeting growth that reduces social and economic disparities, fosters environmental sustainability, and supports the energy transition, all while valuing social dialogue and active community participation. Through a collective commitment to developing affordable housing and creating green spaces, Milan can enhance the quality of life for its citizens and narrow the gap with Northern European countries.

Rome: Embracing Diversity and Fostering Inclusivity in the Eternal City

The evolving dynamics of Rome's population reflect a resilient city with balanced demographic growth and projections for sustainable residential density in the future. Positive indicators for health and well-being measures suggest a healthy lifestyle among its citizens, which, coupled with a robust healthcare system and effective disease prevention measures, contributes to making the city more socially inclusive for the well-being of its inhabitants. Rome is striving to enhance its position in Europe in terms of inclusivity. Despite governance challenges, there are various initiatives underway, albeit still in a very nascent stage: improving physical accessibility and promoting inclusive design, fostering dialogue among religious communities, revitalizing the suburbs to reduce social inequalities, and encouraging greater economic inclusivity.
