Over the last three decades, the metropolisation process of the contemporary city produced a number of new figures in the European territory. This paper focuses on superplaces: well-connected spaces - often located out of the consolidated city - where several central functions co-exist. Studying the case of Orio al Serio Airport (Italy) the authors describe the key features of superplaces and their territorial role.

Il processo di metropolizzazione che ha investito la città contemporanea europea negli ultimi trent’anni ha originato nuove figure territoriali. Questo articolo si concentra sui "superluoghi", localizzati in aree estremamente accessibili - spesso fuori dai nuclei urbani consolidati - dove coesistono funzioni diverse. Lo studio del caso dell’aeroporto di Orio al Serio (BG) permette di descriverne i caratteri principali e il ruolo nel territorio.

Keywords: Superplaces; regional scale; metropolisation; poles; new centralities
