Strategic space 3: Intermodal Station Mobility has a very relevant role in the strengthening of the local community, particularly when, like in Vimodrone, the commuting phenomenon is relevant. The final goal is to transform this area, that at the moment is a surface parking lot, characterized by a poor quality and lack of functionality in a place where it is possible to find a variety of transport modalities as well as services, coworking areas, shops and restaurants and the open-air market. Since the creation of an underground parking is a quite expensive action, it will require the economic collaboration of different actors, both public and private, that can get in return a pay-back in terms of positive reputation (nowadays, the issue of sustainability and environmental protection is very popular), as well as in economic terms, thanks to the creation of new commercial areas.
The creation of the Intermodal Station does not end with physical intervention of the square, but also comprises the relocation of the open-air market (that is currently in a very poor quality space) that can bring new users to the area, and the creation of information campaigns to involve citizens in the project and built a new, positive image for the area. In the next pages, it will be shown the physical project for the area, as well as the actions needed to get to the results, the involved actors and their role and the times and costs of implementation.
