The Chair for Spatial Development and the corridor Rotterdam - Genoa The corridor Rotterdam- Genoa as a spatial lab: Local planning procedures and pilot projects (Test Planning, experimental procedures) Extensive knowledge through the Raum+ initiatives International exchanges ETH Zurich, Chair for Spatial development, IT, 2013
The Swiss Perspective Core of the corridor: Lötschberg and Gotthard as fast transit through the Alps Alptransit 2010
Contrasting interests on alpine transit corridors EU Free circulation of people, freight, capitals, services and jobs EU Directive: precedence to freight traffic along the corridor States Projects of national interest (e.g. Swiss Confederation's policy of transferring freight from road to rail) Fast and efficient connection between the main centers and metropolitan regions Development of regional development policies Regions Promoting sustainable inner development: concentration of new development on the accesses to public transport BAV: Freight traffic through the alps; 1980-2008
