Il difficile equilibrio tra sviluppo competitivo e tutela dei beni comuni: il caso dell’aeroporto di Malpensa e del Parco del Ticino

[Machine translation] In the light of the references provided by the literature on the topic of common goods, the contribution intends to analyze the problem of the interaction between the protected natural environment and a large infrastructure (airport), using a dynamic geographical approach that considers the temporal evolutions that have distinguished them., From a methodological point of view, the topic of common goods is addressed, highlighting how protected areas should be considered as a new form of common goods., In addition, the contribution highlights how, in the case of airports located in protected natural areas, a scenario is configured in which two types of new communes coexist that, however, pursue different purposes and are therefore characterized by an obvious conflictual relationship., The case of Malpensa seems emblematic of the difficult balance between the competitive development of the territory served and the protection of the common goods represented by protected natural areas.
