Poste Italiane: Polis project
ACTIONS
The Polis project provides for two lines of action:
- Structuring a Hub for Public Administration services and access to them from a single point of contact. Many services (judicial certificates, passports, health certificates, registry, cadastral, loss reports), currently usable in different parts of the national territory, will all be available at the post office. Post offices will also renovate their physical infrastructures with new places for communities. Photovoltaic, smart building systems, charging stations, kiosks for self-service operations, lockers and ATMs will be installed and renovated outdoor areas implemented.
- Structuring the largest Italian co-working network, destined for 250 sites, home to abandoned historic buildings of Poste Italiane, of which around 80 medium-small centres under 15,000 inhabitants and 130 large cities or provincial capitals. Access will be offered at affordable prices for all and spaces will be interconnected.
RESULTS and IMPACT
The main impact will be in terms of innovation and sustainability. It aims to overcome the digital divide, interconnect and enhance small centres, with an important reduction in pollution and travel times, confirming at the same time the social and institutional role of Poste Italiane.
