Expo 2015 is of great importance because it allows us to perceive intervention to modernise the mobility systems of Milan and Lombardy as national objectives. The event requires the capacity to create a network that is effective at both local and international level for an integrated and polycentric urban system with more than seven million inhabitants. The challenge is to facilitate the implementation of a metropolitan transport network and to strengthen Milan mainline rail junctions (Rho- Milan Trade Fair station, the Lombard section of the High-Speed network, the Malpensa-Central Station) with the motorway network already scheduled (Brescia-Milan, the ‘Pedemontano’ system, the External Eastern Orbital motorway) and to exploit regional airports, containing settlement dispersion, preserving broad swathes of agricultural countryside and making automobile use marginal.

Keywords: Mainline rail network; motorway; airport system
