Urban planning and infrastructure in Amalfi Coast and Salern

Urban management and infrastructure planning are subjects of debate across the Amalfi Coast and Salerno regions. In Amalfi, administrative efforts have focused on sustainability and land use. The civic group ‘Amalfi Casa Comune’ submitted a dossier regarding the Maximum Public Land Occupation Plan to balance business needs with pedestrian access in high-traffic areas. Additionally, the municipality acquired an electric forklift to reduce noise and emissions during goods loading in the historic center.

In the broader region, discussions have shifted toward large-scale infrastructure and construction policies. In Salerno, critics have challenged a proposed halt to new cement construction, citing the need to address previous private expansion and depopulation. Concerns also persist regarding the environmental impact of proposed road tunnels between Amalfi, Maiori, and Minori. Meanwhile, local officials in Salerno are managing traffic disruptions caused by the upcoming closure of the Belvedere tunnel, with requests made to temporarily suspend certain traffic restrictions to accommodate the start of the school year.
