Italy is investing billions to modernize its century-old railway network in one of Europe’s largest infrastructure projects. The plan includes renovating some 600 stations and building dozens more along new rail corridors. It’s more than an infrastructure upgrade; it’s a bold strategy to reconnect communities and fuel nationwide economic growth.
How will railway leaders deliver on such an ambitious investment? By reimagining cities and their stations through data-rich maps. Planners at Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI), the public company that manages Italy’s railway network, are using mapping and analytics to sharpen their understanding of local populations and transit patterns.
