Tania Molteni

Tania Molteni serves as Research Fellow at GREEN and researcher at SUR Lab, Bocconi University, with continuous affiliation since 2008. Her work bridges academic research and urban policy implementation through dedicated think tanks and European flagship projects.

Her educational foundation includes:

• MA in Environmental Social Sciences (Geography) from Milan State University

Her research pioneers integrated assessment of urban sustainability transitions, specializing in policy evaluation frameworks for smart cities, circular economy implementation, and low-carbon urban governance. She examines multi-level policy coordination mechanisms while developing practical tools for measuring regeneration impacts across economic, environmental and social dimensions.

Dr. Molteni actively leads Bocconi's Smart City Observatory—a strategic think tank analyzing enabling conditions for urban innovation—and contributes to the Horizon 2020 MAtchUP project demonstrating integrated smart city solutions. Her grant portfolio demonstrates sustained success in securing competitive European research funding for urban sustainability initiatives.

She operates at the SUR Lab research hub while managing the Smart City Observatory, recently co-organizing the October 2025 'Future of Cities' workshop that convened academia, public institutions and private sector leaders to advance research-driven urban regeneration strategies.
