The proposed event represents the second Living Lab out of a total of four planned within the SEW Line Project, under the 2022 PRIN (Projects of National Relevance) and PNRR initiatives. It will take place in the city of Romano di Lombardia, focusing on the case study of environmental compensation impacts stemming from the A35 Brebemi highway project, with special attention to the Serio Regional Park and the eastern quadrant of the Bergamo province.The goal of a Living Lab extends beyond a simple seminar-style presentation; it is instead aimed at the collective construction of knowledge. This is therefore an occasion for interaction among the research team and local stakeholders, administrators, public officials, experts, and planners. The purpose is to foster moments of exchange and discussion on topics such as the impacts of linear infrastructure, the challenges related to designing mitigation and compensation measures, the spatial distribution of functions that over time settle along the corridors created, and local initiatives aimed at integrating these elements harmoniously with the landscape and the lives of the communities that inhabit it.
Through dialogue on new multi-stakeholder governance models for environmental mitigation in large infrastructure projects, the specific objectives of the seminar include: gathering and exchanging inputs among local stakeholders, building networks on this topic, and identifying insights for a shared manifesto for environmental planning in major infrastructure projects. To achieve this, the Living Lab is structured over two days: the first day, titled Research LAB, is dedicated to the research team; the second day is further divided into workshops with local stakeholders and roundtable seminars.
