Abstract
To offer a reading key to current changes in the field of major transport infrastructure projects, this chapter analyses the development of the Mediterranean Corridor from its conceptual origins to its latest configuration. In doing so, a few criticalities will be highlighted and some local experiences presented as case studies to attempt a theoretical inference. These experiences were collected through the Poly5 project within the Alpine Space Programme and will be more thoroughly reported by the interested territorial partners in the second part of this book.
