Tren d’alta velocitat i desenvolupament local urbà. Aportacions a una nova base teòrica

One of the main purposes of High-Speed Train is to provide local development in those cities and territories where a station is built. For this reason, theoretical reflections that help agents and institutions to plan correctly the arrival of the new great infraestructure of transport are needed, especially in some aspects as capacity of organization of territorial actors. Reticular theory can be a useful theoretical base to prevent determinist conceptions of the relationship between infraestructure and territory, to explain how process of local development takes place and to prove the importance of territorial agents in this process.
