Europolis 2006
Now in its eighth year, the Bologna event confirms itself to be a major occasion for encounter and reflection on topics concerning the territory and its development. Seven theme shows dedicated to SITE AMENITIES AND TERRITORIAL QUALITY; TRAFFIC, MOBILITY AND INFRASTRUCTURES; SPORTS AND RECREATIONAL FACILITIES, SWIMMING POOLS AND FITNESS; B-VERDE - URBAN FORESTATION & EQUIPPED GREEN SPACES; ENVIRONMENT; PUBLIC UTILITIES and TERRITORIAL MARKETING offer a comprehensive overview of the most innovative products and solutions for urban regeneration.
In 2004 521 exhibitors took part in the Exhibitions of Technologies for a Liveable City, covering over 55,000 square metres of display area, with 43,055 trade professionals in attendance and over 60 conventions organised during the event.
At Europolis 2006, all the very latest products and technologies for exploiting to the full the opportunities deriving from new community regulations on the topic of territorial development.
The Exhibitions of Technologies for a Liveable City present local authorities and professionals interested in the development of urban areas with the tools required to operate in the area along the lines set out by community policies and to reap ensuing benefits. The development of infrastructures considered as aids to mobility (roads, railways, public works, etc.) and to the activities of individuals, users and companies (computer networks, optic-fibre cabling, etc.) is one of the major topics of new EU regulations and therefore also of Europolis 2006.
The biennial urban design show "International Exhibition of Architecture and Design for the City" is the special event animating the Exhibition of Site Amenities and Territorial Quality. The initiative enhances the decisive contribution of URBAN DESIGN to a virtuous use of architecture and the valorisation of culture and the economy of a town, and the links which the architectural object is able to establish once properly collocated in the urban environment. The products on show, selected according to the contribution given to urban design, are presented in adjacent sections that enhance their history and potential and the interpretations of famous international artists and designers. The aim of the exhibition is to develop a major sector of the design and liveability of the city to provide Italian public architecture with a present worthy of its glorious past and of made in Italy. In four packed exhibition days, the local authorities and urban works users will be able to meet major site amenity companies to develop a constructive dialogue able to foster numerous and significant architectural enhancement measures.
The traffic, mobility and infrastructure exhibition of Europolis 2006 brings together in a single exhibition venue the overall system of mobility, transport of people and goods, infrastructures, services and equipment for territorial management. A number of major events are currently being planned: presentation of a road safety plan for the province of Bologna, the first ever at national level, and an area safety network, a body that brings together institutions, associations and corporate bodies on the topic of road safety. Public transport and sustainable mobility. What kind of cooperation between regions and the big cities is the title of a large national conference on public transport and sustainable mobility.
The major national associations in the world of transport and the entire system of agencies are involved in a deep reflection on public transport (rail and road).
Sport as a tool for enhancing and promoting the territory is one of the urban activities which the Finance Act 2004 intends promoting most. The increase in major sports events and the monitoring of existing facilities through condition surveys and the conformity of facilities with legal requirements are felt to be priorities by sports departments. The Exhibitions of Sports and Recreational Facilities, Swimming Pools and Fitness of Europolis provide a broad and qualified overview of the sector and represent a fundamental point of reference and verification. In-depth technical-scientific discussion on the world of water is assured by the packed calendar of meetings organised as part of Swimming pool Days, which involves major associations (CONI-Italian National Olympic Committee, Eurowellness, Assopiscine, etc).
The Bverde and Environment exhibitions, besides a qualified show of products for urban forestation and equipped green spaces (Playing fields and “FITNESS” trails; Fertilisers, soils, seeds, weed killers
Fountains, tanks, vases, ponds; Botanical and zoological gardens; Greenery building and maintenance companies; Irrigation; Pergolas, gazebos, plant protection; Equipment and facilities for green area lighting) offer a packed calendar of meetings involving major companies and the most authoritative industry associations. Among the topics to be discussed will be multi-functionality in agriculture: seminars will be organised at Europolis whose purpose is to illustrate to local authorities the environmental, social and economic advantages offered to farmers. This way, local authorities that intend concretely availing themselves of such services can become immediately operative for the maintenance of public green areas, parks, woodland, forests and wetland areas, the management of biomasses, sound-dampening barriers, the most complex building of sports facilities, hanging gardens, cleaning ditches and snow removal.
The Public Utilities Exhibition dedicates a large meeting to the single management of public utilities. After transition from municipally-owned enterprises to joint-stock companies, public utilities are today undergoing yet another profound revolution which sees them as managers of the protection of city services and urban furnishings.
Territorial enhancement necessarily passes through an adequate territorial marketing policy. An important technical meeting on social housing will enhance the exhibition proposals of Europolis 2006. Management of the metropolitan real-estate heritage has undergone strong changes and private companies and builders are finding this new market highly attractive. The appointment has the triple purpose of: putting large building companies into contact with national territory projects, triggering Project Financing plans, and prompting the need to adopt standardised models of procedure which still do not exist in Italy.
Between 1 – 4 February 2006, with the eighth Exhibition of Technologies for a Liveable City, major urban development actors will be meeting in the Bologna Exhibition Centre to upgrade public wellness and quality.
