Mobiliy in Italy during COVID
TRASPOL Lab of DAStU, http://www.traspol.polimi.it/en/, with the data provided by Facebook – Data for Good’s program, analyzed some key mobility trends during and after COVID-19’s lockdown in Italy, from February to July 2020.
We wanted to analyze mainly: how many people stayed home during lockdown; what happened between the announcement and the actual implementation of restriction measures (focusing on the discussed “exodus” of people from North to South, very stressed by media, if it happened and to what extent); and how population changed during lockdown, checking if people left cities and moved to marginal areas or urban belts.
