Corridor Policies and Territorial Development

Main Infrastructure and Urban Nodes within Corridor V

Il frutto di una ricerca che ha affrontato i temi del rapporto fra grandi opere e sviluppo territoriale nell’ambito di una concezione estensiva di Corridoio, che non si limiti a guardare alla sola infrastruttura, ma che consideri la più estesa e articolata offerta che i territori già oggi sono in grado di produrre e che non sempre sono in grado di fare interagire con le politiche infrastrutturali e gli investimenti di settore.

The book focuses on the relationship between territorial policies and infrastructural investments in the main Corridor V urban nodes. The nature of the relationship and the influence of Corridor-related investments on local planning policies were considered. Nodes were analysed and the conclusions are presented in this book.
Financing and investments in both urban transformation and infrastructure were considered in main node infrastructure and urban renovation policies for each segment of the Corridor in Italy detailing the five relevant urban areas in the North of the country. Investments stand at about 7 billion Euros, 4 for infrastructure and 3 for urban development: the sums involved illustrate the degree of reorganisation and renovation urban nodes are undergoing, although each one at its own pace and Corridor weight in its policies.
