Le sfide della mobilità sostenibile in una montagna diversa

While an approach far sustainable development get more diffused in policies as well as in planning interventions, deep changes have interested Alpine mountain regions. lf some valleys and highlands stili remain little accessible and affected by a not very developed and modernised economy, a large part of the Alpine arch recorded a really significant progress due to new infrastructures, technological innovation and tourism development. Above all, tourism has been such a trigger of new economie activities, occupation increasing and visitors attraction. Winter sport or summertime leisure actvities, supported by modem (mostly vehicular) mobility and high-impacting infrastructures cause enrichment but also congestion, new forms of soil consumptions and progressive environmental and landscape deterioration. The unavoidable challenge far the future is then the promotion of new form of mobility, which could favour the highest modal integration and a conditioned and limited accessibility, which will help to preserve precious environmental resources although supporting development.
