SUMP in the cross-border region of Nova Gorica – Gorizia

Luka Mladenovič, Urban Planning Institute of the Republic of Slovenia

Seminar 'Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans‚ Koprivnica, 11th of June 2015

BACKGROUND


• European Comissions work on SUMP• Slovenian local administrations specifics• SUMP methodology tested in 3 scales:

• Cities• Small municipalities• Regions

BACKGROUNDNational: in Slovenia no tradition of strategic transport planning, large number of small municipalities, few regional centres.

Regional – Nova Gorica previously large municipality that was divided into 6 new, smaller ones; 4 regional development agencies covering the area.

Cross-border – Two cities growing side by side next to each other, border removed in 2007.

Functional region with high motorization rate and trend of integration of functions.


TRANSPORT PLANNING

SUMP Nova Gorica from 2007 and Transport plan of Gorizia from 2006 both expired.

Small municipalities without transport strategies and with lack of capacities to prepare one.

Missing experience in key elements of SUMP planning:• Integration between sectors• Decision making transparency• Stakeholder and citizen engagement• Monitoring and evaluation


PUMAS PILOT ACTIONPilot action developed a sustainable urban mobility plan for the functional and cross-border region.

Innovative aspect of the action is a SUMP for a whole functional area that spans over national borders between Italy and Slovenia.

Outcomes are transferable to other Slovenian regions and many regions in the Alpine space, that are facing similar challenges.
