Speaking of the Italian Po valle metropolitan system, along the Mediterranean Corridor, we must refer to a nontraditional settlement system concerning the development of various settlements along kinematical axes, based on communication and transportation infiastructures that sometimes evolve rapidly, while other times takes a long time. The “coalescence” of many urban suburbs and the formation of large conurbations, especially those stretched along supporting cinematic axes among different regions, suggested the need for new urban and regional planning of settlements on a vast scale. However, as we have seen since the end of the last century, this vision was too optimistic. On the basis of these premises and on the basis of more recent studies, the existence, in the Po Valley, of a “Linear Metropolitan System” running from Turin to Venice, and down to Trieste for more than 500 km in the Southern side of the Alps, has been hypothesized.
