AMAT (Agenzia Mobilità Ambiente Territorio) is the City of Milan's technical agency for mobility, environment, and urban planning, providing evidence-based analysis and strategic support for the municipality's sustainable development policies. Established as a public entity under the city administration, AMAT plays a central role in translating Milan's urban policy ambitions into technically grounded plans and monitoring frameworks.
The agency's work spans three interconnected domains. In mobility, AMAT develops Milan's sustainable urban mobility plan (PUMS), monitors traffic flows and public transport performance, and designs interventions to promote cycling, walking, and shared mobility. In environment, the agency manages Milan's air quality monitoring network, develops climate action strategies, and supports the implementation of the city's ambitious Area B and Area C low-emission zones. In urban planning, AMAT provides spatial data analysis, land use modelling, and technical assessments that inform the city's territorial governance plan.
AMAT's strength lies in its data-driven approach to urban management, maintaining comprehensive databases on transport patterns, environmental conditions, and land use that enable evidence-based policymaking. The agency operates Milan's urban data platform, integrating information from IoT sensors, traffic monitoring systems, and environmental measurement stations into a coherent analytical framework.
The agency collaborates extensively with European research networks and partner cities, contributing to projects on urban air quality, sustainable mobility, and smart city data infrastructure. AMAT's technical expertise positions it as a key enabler of Milan's smart city strategy, bridging the gap between political vision and technical implementation in one of Southern Europe's most dynamic urban centres.
