The project of infrastructures for sustainable mobility as a driver to join urban public areas, the production landscape and areas of high environmentaln and artistic value

Background A virtuous process has been started in many European cities to construct sustainable cycling-pedestrian mobility networks, in order to establish a reciprocal contamination of uses and functions between public urban spaces, the production landscape and the many diffuse excellences of the territory (nature reserves, historical-architectural buildings and monuments, diffuse tourist facilities). Hypothesis The new light infrastructural frames may constitute a territorial reinforcement, around which projects may be created to regenerate urban peripheral areas, agricultural production areas for social use, new urban services and new social-economic drivers through programmes for tourist-cultural improvement, activating contamination and unprecedented territorial relations between the production landscape and territorial excellences Objective of the paper This paper will define the methodological and project guidelines to plan light cycling-pedestrian infrastructures for the city and territory by describing one project currently underway in Marche Region.
