It is beyond doubt that mobility and, more generally, transport are crucial elements in development and quality of life. This work tries to clear up the true meaning of the concepts of mobility and development. Moreover, starting from the remark that an upper limit for transport is needed to guarantee its sustainability, transport patterns are looked for to be promoted for furthering the development. An initial bibliographical research and some simple qualitative considerations seem to suggest that the transport has to be promoted at least 1) fostering economic development, quality of life and opportunities simultaneously on the one hand, and 2) in the countries with middle/low levels of welfare on the other.

Abstract
It is beyond doubt that mobility and, more generally, transport are crucial elements in development and quality of life. This work tries to clear up the true meaning of the concepts of mobility and development. Moreover, starting from the remark that an upper limit for transport is needed to guarantee its sustainability, transport patterns are looked for to be promoted for furthering the development. An initial bibliographical research and some simple qualitative considerations seem to suggest that the transport has to be promoted at least 1) fostering economic development, quality of life and opportunities simultaneously on the one hand, and 2) in the countries with middle/low levels of welfare on the other.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
