New Mobility for the Country
From 2002 to date, 60 percent of state funding has gone to investments in roads and highways. Yet 42 percent of the national population lives in urban areas, where there is the largest infrastructure gap with respect to the rest of Europe, and above all, where we find most of the demand for transport. To deal with that demand, there should be an increase in the number of trains in circulation, starting ...
What Future for Italian Ports
Given our country’s geographical structure and history, it is not surprising that the Italian port system features a wide variety in terms of infrastructure, volumes, commercial activities, efficiency, and development. However, since the 1980s the absence of a view to development of the ports, which is instrumental to the development of the country, has limited its prospects for growth, relegating ...
The Macroeconomic Context: Strengths and Weaknesses
The decision of whether or not to invest significance public resources for the development of transport infrastructure has been, and is, at the center of public debate in Italy. On the one hand are the supporters of the absolute necessity of boosting public investment, especially in the sector of large-scale works, and on the other those who consider such choices useless or even harmful. So starting ...
Italy’s Growth Runs on Rails
Italy is the first case in the world – and the only one in Europe – of competition between high-speed rail operators. By international standards, our country’s regulatory structure and pricing are particularly advanced. In the next few years, numerous factors of change will affect the mobility and the evolution of the railway system: demographic and social, environmental, economic, and technological. ...
All of the numbers of the Brebemi project
The A35 Brebemi was the first Italian highway to be built with project financing, i.e. through the exclusive use of private capital. In February 2019 an Agici study was presented on the economic, social, and environmental consequences of the new highway, which found positive repercussions for a territory encompassing 5 provinces, 114 municipalities, 640,000 inhabitants, and 250,000 workers, with a ...
The Ligurian Logistics Platform
Thanks to its geographic position in the heart of the Mediterranean, Italy represents a true "logistical platform" that offers multiple access points along its coast and in particular along the ports of the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic seas. However, it is necessary to rethink the role of ports, that must aim to acquire a different dimension that includes the entire maritime-port-logistics cluster, including ...
The Ambivalence of Industrial Relations
Trade unions in Italy are currently facing certain critical problems that derive from the exhaustion of the previous phase of industrial relations, based on policies of consultation with employers’ associations and public representatives, and the difficulty of sharing a “synthesis” of the transformations underway with the other actors in industrial relations.#In the new scenario of the gig economy, ...
The Airport System More Can Be Done
The air transport market in Italy is increasingly dependent on trends at a global level, as regards both the demand for mobility and the services offered by the carriers. Airport operators find themselves working in a more and more competitive context, and thus are called on to experiment with new organizational models, to meet an increasingly differentiated and cost-sensitive demand by carriers and ...
An Intermodal Future for Milan-Bergamo Airport
In 2018 alone, the Italian airport system saw an increase of passenger traffic of more than 5.9 percent compared to the previous year, with over 185 million people carried and 1.6 million airplane movements. In this context of growth, the Milan-Bergamo airport is in third place in Italy, with a forecast of 13.5 million passengers in 2019, representing one of the main gateways of access for eastern ...
Why We Should Go Back to Reading Marx
One of the new elements of neoliberalism is the possibility of capitalist accumulation that segments and divides the world of labor, rather than making it homogenous. Yet reunification of labor, that leads to collective awareness by workers to produce common struggles for the defense of their rights, is extremely complicated. To overcome the current crisis a new model of development is needed, that ...
