Abstract

Urban centers and their agglomerations (Inhabitants). The development of the centres and agglomerations is very important both for trans- and intra-Alpine transport.
The centres and the agglomerations (see box on Periurbanisation) constitute a living space for a large number of people with specific mobility requirements. The larger centres within the Alpine arc are located mainly in the river basins and large intra-Alpine valleys (Etsch, Rhône, Inn, Aosta, Isère).
Thus external and internal accessibility play a significant role. Moreover, all big intra-Alpine cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants are very easily accessible from the outer-alpine area by highways, railways etc. (Torricelli 1996).
