The first SUCCESS project presentation took place in Valencia on the 23rd of June 2016.

The event was divided into two parts; the first one was focused on the challenges that the cities are currently facing. Ángel Navarro, from Fundación InnDEA Valencia, explained that the cities are not designed for large vehicles and in general there is a lack of space for loading and unloading operations. Nearly all European cities have trouble conciliating construction and the citizens’ life. The pollution is rising every day and for this reason new measure affecting mobility a

Salvador Furió, from Fundación Valenciaport, presented the SUCCESS project: partners, objectives, the pilot sites, brief description of Construction Consolidation Centres (CCC) and the possible solutions with simulated scenarios.
