The European project SPINE - Smart Public transport Initiative for climate Neutral cities in Europe, of which the Foundation is an affiliated entity of the Municipality of Bologna along with 38 other beneficiaries, including 11 European cities including Bologna, aims to accelerate progress towards climate neutrality by improving the overall offer of public transport, in order to make it more accessible, inclusive, attractive, and in line with users' economic needs and expectations. The project fits into the EU Mission 100 Climate Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030.

The project, which has a duration of 48 months, involves the implementation of Living Labs in 4 pilot cities: Bologna, Antwerp, Tallinn, and Las Palmas, where co-creation activities take place involving a wide range of stakeholders to promote public transport intermodality based on users' needs and requirements.

The Foundation is involved in mapping the stakeholder, as well as in the design, organization, and implementation of participatory co-design workshops with citizens and other relevant actors in 3 multimodal mobility hubs in Bologna, located in Mazzini, Corticella, and Casteldebole.
