The Large-Area Plan (PAV, from its Italian initials) introduced by this Study, assumes prima facie the features of a regional plan which regulates an intervention for circulation infrastructure, organising in that context the spatial distribution of the productive settlements along the determined axes. The result, and this is the distinguishing trait, is an economic development plan for the area in question in which a close interrelationship between infrastructures and territory is established. The leading areas are represented by a series of poles where activities are located which complete the industrial operative structure on a large scale and/or some new entrepreneurial ideas capable of making the most of the economic features of the area in question, covering the gaps identified in the productive chain. It consists, in other words, in service settlements in support to industrial activities (logistics) or in service of the territory and its vocations (activities connected to tourism or to agro-industrial production). The choice of the typology of the “leading idea” and of its location, take into consideration the features of the area in question and the needs which emerge from the data on the settlement-productive state, and on the features of the local entrepreneurship, and from the analysis of the settlement, tourism-related and environmental systems of the territory of the provinces included in the PAV. The leading areas occupy an extension equal to approximately 300 Ha, half of which are buildable in accordance with current urban regulations. The tables presented below illustrate the composition of the leading areas identified and of the possible alternative areas to be included whose financial contribution has not been quantified for the purposes of data capturing.
