  • More about Linear Planning to Reduce Regional Inequality: A Theoretical Review and the Case of the Way of St. James


This book explores the advantages of a linear model of planning in reducing regional inequalities, particularly in neglected rural and mountainous areas. It proposes implementing the concept of linear planning in these contexts to enlarge the perspective of traditional policies and contrast regional inequalities. The Way of St. James in Spain is one of the most famous cases of a walking path.

This book delves into the compelling advantages of adopting a linear model of planning in mitigating regional disparities. Traditionally perceived as a technique for urban development, linear planning is reimagined here as a design approach inspired by projects shaped by linear routes, such as cycle or walking paths. This innovative concept is applied to the pressing issue of territorial marginality, which has historically neglected rural and mountainous areas and is now addressed by European and national policies. Through an in-depth analysis of these policies, this book underscores the need for alternative strategies that can effectively address both the internal and external factors that contribute to the critical conditions in these fragile environments. By integrating the concept of linear planning into these contexts, this book aims to broaden the perspective of traditional policies, contrasting the regional inequalities that often dictate the design of projects solely within the boundaries of marginal areas.

Cycle and walking paths serve as experimental examples of linear planning, as they have not been influenced or shaped by political boundaries, allowing them to equally engage both the central and marginal zones. This book provides a comprehensive review of current issues related to regional inequalities, with a particular focus on their associated policies. Additionally, it delves into an analysis of linear planning through the study of one of the most renowned walking paths: the Way of St. James in Spain.
