“…Attention is paid to social complexity of the environment where these projects are undertaken, concerning the particular roles (Flyvbjerg, 2007) and duties (Short & Kopp, 2005) of public bodies. These peculiarities, however, fit large infrastructure projects (Van Wee, 2007) rather than mega-events where the complexity comes from the organizational dimension rather than the technical dimension (such as in a nuclear power plant or a long bridge).…”

among the mega-events is the necessity of delivering a large number of projects from different sectors (e.g., buildings, communication plans, ICT, infrastructure, etc.) The preparation of mega-events like Olympic Games, music festivals, or world expositions requires the successful and timely delivering of many correlated projects: buildings, ICT infrastructure, marketing projects, etc. The international market is increasingly characterized by large and mega-events. The size of these events escalates the complexity of management, often causing budget overruns and scope reduction. As a consequence it is fundamental to effectively monitor the progress of the entire program to react in case the progress does not follow the expected baseline. Project-controlling methodologies are well analyzed in the literature with respect to individual projects. For that which concerns the overall delivery of correlated projects (i.e., a program) the literature provides strategic and operational guidelines; however, far too little attention has been paid to developing quantitative methodology to control their execution phase. The purpose of this article is to review recent research into event planning and program management to propose a quantitative approach, based on the Petri nets and dynamic systems, to obtain the project envelope, a fundamental tool to assess and manage the progress of a program. The methodology is implemented on a real case study: EXPO 2015.

“…Transport infrastructures are a vital social and economic resource, as they structure space and determine mobility (Short & Kopp, 2005), providing access to current economic and social opportunities (Richardson, 2005). Investment in the construction and maintenance of transport infrastructures is of considerable importance and has repercussions which affect society as a whole (Hildén et al, 2004;Short & Kopp, 2005).…”

“…Investment in the construction and maintenance of transport infrastructures is of considerable importance and has repercussions which affect society as a whole (Hildén et al, 2004;Short & Kopp, 2005). It is therefore essential that the planning of transport systems should be correctly carried out (Hildén et al, 2004).…”
