Abstract

This book is based on the research conducted in the context of Poly5, a European project promoted under the Alpine Space programme 2011–2014. The project attempts to critically deal with current approaches to the planning of European Corridors, showing all the enormous spatial criticalities of many major transport infrastructure projects (MTIPs), and with the theoretical and practical difficulties that strategic infrastructure planning inevitably raises. At the centre of Poly5 focus, there is one corridor in particular, that is, Corridor 5, now called Mediterranean Corridor.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The shift from “multilevel governance”, as discussed by Faludi (2012), to what has been defined as “territorial governance” becomes explicit when incorporating strong territorial dimensions where also the spatial knowledge-related components are particularly evident and determinant. The shift from “multilevel governance” to “territorial governance” postulates, therefore, the understanding of territories and networks via processes of interaction that are specifically about the ways in which a territory develops: “only in this way, (relational) space as a social construct, as well as categories such as ‘place’ and ‘territory’ factors into multi-level governance” (Schmitt and Van Well 2013).
