MARTINEZ, José Mª. Serrano. From the arc to the mediterranean axis in Spain, towards the consolidation of a transportation corridor. Finisterra [online]. 2012, n.93, pp.85-107. ISSN 0430-5027.

This fact has led to raised demographic values, a boost in urbanization and to the growth and diversification of its productive activity, which in turn have contributed to an increase in traffic. The highway is the main transportation way and it channels the heaviest traffic flows. However, there are plans in place to diversify these transportation networks through ambitious investment projects in railways, which would consolidate the role of Corridor played by this region in laying down the foundations for the future organization of an Axis of development. This would take advantage of the geoestrategic location of this territory, in the context of Mediterranean Europe, to target other dynamic spaces

Keywords : Transport; Mediterranean area; infrastructures; development; organization of the territory.
