Mobility is a necessary condition to take part in society. Ensuring the right to mobility means to implement capabilities of individuals. An ineffective mobility system jeopardizes accessibility levels, contributing to the process of fragilization of a territory. Fragile territories of mobility in Italy are inner areas but also urban centers inaccessible to more fragile groups. To reduce their fragility it is necessary to increase basic accessibility rather than only infrastructure endowment.
