The Relaunch of the Calabro-Lucana Railway as Territorial and Metropolitan Infrastructure

摘要

The modernization of a railway line is always an important project but it assumes a strategic role if it is developed in a complex territory such as the northern district of Calabria. The technological upgrade of the Cosenza-Catanzaro line is the framework of a new process that aims to create an urban polycentric structure. This infrastructure in fact is the symbol of a collective rebirth able to activate metropolitan flows into the whole area. The hinterland and the head-cities are strengthen by the inclusion in an implicit metropolitan area capable of preserving their traditions and their cultures.
