Since the first proposals for a route were made in the Milan inter-municipal plan in the 1960s, the Lombard Pedemontana project has been considered as key to thinking on the transformation of the relationship between infrastructural and territorial frameworks, with particular attention to Lombardy. Economic and demographic processes are ‘restructuring’ relationships between towns and cities: the growth in the 1950s which enhanced the role of Milan at the centre of a conurbation has now changed to become a new dispersed urban form in which towns and cities are bound together by an inextricable set of hierarchical and reticular relationships. Infrastructure planning has tended to accompany the transformation of areas and has acquired new values, which can be summarised in the change from an infrastructure as a ‘tunnel work’ to an infrastructure as a ‘territorial work’.
