About the Author: Isabella M. Lami, Ph.D, is Assistant Professor of Planning Evaluation and Project Appraisal at the Politecnico of Turin and a research collaborator at SiTI (Higher Institute on Territorial Systems for Innovation). She has expertise in multicriteria analysis methods and spatial decision processes within the context of territorial transformations, particularly in connection with large transport infrastructure. She was coordinator of the transnational network Urban Planning Systems in Europe - Urbax2, involving 15 partners from universities and public administrations in 9 different European countries, within the Leonardo da Vinci programme. She was one of the coordinator of the activities regarding the collaborative assessment process and decision making on the Corridor 24 development, within the European Project "Code24" - this project was funded under the Strategic Initiatives Framework of the INTERREG IVB NWE programme (www.code-24.eu).
Dr. Lami has published books and papers on both national and international scientific journals, and received several awards for her work. In 2009, the paper (with Bottero) Sustainable mobility and urban planning: the application of the Analytic Network Process for the assessment of different transport scenarios was awarded the Best Paper prize at the 2nd International Conference on Whole Life Urban Sustainability and its Assessment held in Loughborough. In 2007, her edited book Genova: il porto oltre l'Appennino. Ipotesi di sviluppo del nodo portuale, Celid, Torino, won the 7th edition of the prize Trasporti & Cultura, section A, "Works that derive from specialized research, also by Universities". In 2005, the Urbax2 project she coordinated was chosen as one of Europe's 50 Best Practices during 2000-2005, and was featured in the European Commission publication, 50 success stories - Leonardo da Vinci innovation projects contributing to the Copenhagen process - Linking policy to practice (four projects were selected in Italy).
