The Development and Promotion of the Inland Areas of the Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria through the Enhancement and Restoration of the Calabro-lucane Railway Line – The Greenway Project, Train-hotel and Valorization of Former Railway Stations

摘要

The idea of recovery of a railroad section of the Calabro-Lucane railways is based on trying to reuse neglected and now useless structure, with the intent to promote a railroad which is the identity of the local communities. The main objective is the re-appropriation by the community of its cultural heritage in order to support sustainable processes of endogenous growth and improve the quality of life in rural areas. The paper, using a multidisciplinary approach, hypothesizes the possibility of the railway enhancement. Choosing among alternatives by proceeding lexicographically through a sequence of criteria is a common description of practical decision-making.
