ABSTRACT
Many cities across the world are implementing plans to reduce the private road mobility, encouraging the modal shift to public transport. Many authors make reference to the well-established American practice of Transit Oriented Development (T.O.D.), where the strategy for the government of urban transformation is developed within the areas of influence of the stations. Value capture, is the tool by which is possible to finance part of the costs of the infrastructure by intercepting the added value of real estate that are located at a certain distance from the railway station.
This paper focuses on the project of a railway system, served by tram-train, in Pontina Bioregion. The project, thought like a new infrastructural corridor in this territory, introduces also actions directed to the revaluation of the whole area, through the requalification of the hill old towns, the transition to low carbon mobility and the safeguard of the natural environment.
