The construction and management of a motorway network cannot take place without the direct involvement and ongoing dialogue with the institutions, communities and territories. The activities have a clear strategic significance and also constantly take place in non-institutionalised phases. Aspi is certainly considered a best practice by Italian companies. Among the institutionalised initiatives carried out over the years, the following have become particularly relevant:

• The public debate for the design of the "Gronda di Genova"
• Socio-environmental observatories established during the construction of the "Variante di Valico"
• The public debate on the planning of the "Passante di Bologna" (http://www.passantedibologna.it)
