Excerpt from the original proposal for the development phase, March 15th
2012
Note ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES based on discussions during the site visits, is now a horizontal
theme and numbered as 10, ao all the themes in this list changed their number, from 3
onwards!
NETWORK IMPLEMENTATION METHOD:
As starting point, the project will consider a first list of “themes of analysis /“indicators
/ domains able to increase the socio-economic potentialities of middle-sized cities having
an intermodal junction of regional relevance (i.e. a HS station).
These themes have been defined considering needs and potentials of existing hubs, and
emerged from the analysis and comparison of the partners and other study cases.
These indicators will represent a “basic grid of analysis”, allowing confrontation between
cities and performance comparisons. Note that it is conceived as an “open list” for the
whole duration of the project, to be agreed and jointly modified /extended while
progressing with the project implementation: this because the exchange of experience
and the project development will surely bring new suggestions and contents to these
themes (see table below)
These
10 different themes allow comparing relevant aspects of the effectiveness and full
exploitation of all potentials stemming from the hosting of a EU/regional HUB. The
different positioning of each partner, with respect to different aspects, will allow
supporting each reality in the upgrading process and full exploitation of possible
potentials. The mapping and analysis of the existing practices and ideas according to
these 10 themes will allow each partner to conceive local planning tools output (e.g.,
tender competition for ideas, planning tools formulated and to be applied on the
extended area / catchment of reference ). These 10 themes are to be considered
possible fields to activate full potential exploitation.
