Messages to remember from this presentation
• The mobility system developed in Perugia is innovative and is producing real changes in mobility behaviour, positive attitudes to sustainable mobility and significant latent change – European best practice.
• The transport system is designed and operates for the full social inclusion of its citizens and visitors, in harmony with the strategic plan for the city region and the SUMP. A small voluntary sector addresses some special mobility needs.
• The pricing system on public transport is heavily subsidised and is designed to favour a modal shift to public transport, with further mobility benefits to the young and old. There will be future pressure here.
• The mobility stakeholders have been reorganised to meet the challenges but there is less integration with social policy departments
• More needs to be done to understand the mobility issues faced by marginalised groups and the impacts that low mobility is having on their life style

5. Who are the Perugini?
Perugia has a social composition and trends similar to many European cities:
• Balanced population
• High young adult population due to 2 universities
• A mixed working population serving a regional capital with some mixed light industry
• Increasing unemployment, particularly among younger persons
• Rapidly increasing minority of immigrants from Eastern Europe, North Africa and South America), many of whom comprise a growing under-class (not ghettoised) – and Western European pensioners in the provincial area
• A transient tourist population

- Excluded young people as a result of unemployment
- An under-class of unofficial migrants
- Rising crime rates associated with poverty (CBD)
- Insecurity
