Abstract

Dealing with problems in a macro level spatial context, such as the transnational corridor from Rotterdam to Genoa, requires a careful and thorough approach. Sheer size and an international composition means that the project cannot be grasped in its entirety all at once, that many different actors are involved, that most of the available information has to be translated, and since different countries often treat material fields differently, some form of consolidation will have to be arranged for the whole to operate. In such situations, it is important to be aware of an overall paradigm that can help with recognising and deciphering a series of possible difficulties (traps), which are often hidden or emerge only upon investigation. The paradigm includes a collection of helpful guidelines (maxims) for dealing with such large-scale and, at the same time, fragmented difficulties. Some of these traps and maxims will be explained and illustrated in this contribution.
