Fondazione Unipolis (the Unipolis Foundation) is the corporate foundation of Italian ICMIF member the Unipol Gruppo.
The Foundation’s most recent project, promoted in conjunction with Cittadinanzattiva, an organisation founded in 1978, which promotes citizen activism for the protection of rights, is the fruit of the work of 2,000 students from 57 Italian schools which imagines and sketches out the possible ways in which mobility and the communities of the future will work. The proposals include apps that reward people who use eco-friendly means of transport; sustainable, integrated areas in towns where cars and bikes can be recharged; benches with solar panels; smog-eating buses; and sensors that can reveal whether drivers have taken alcohol or drugs. Ten groups representing ten secondary schools from across Italy presented and delivered the first sustainable mobility Manifesto by Italian schools to Enrico Giovannini, Minister of Sustainable Infrastructures and Mobility, in Rome last week.
