Abstract

The main aim of this paper is developing a diagnostic and viability of Transinsular Axis of Infrastructure and Transport, promoted by the Canary Islands Government, in order to lessen the territorial fragmentation of the Islands. We study the case of intermodality between sea and land transport from different points of view (time accessibility, economic...), and we show with it the current deficit that exists from the point of view of territorial cohesion. Finally we show how to make more sustainable territorial integration of the islands.
