Tech/Engineering - Geography / town planning | | Italian term or phrase: asse attrezzato | | This occurs in a book on town planning, written by an Italian in English. (I am an editor, not a translator.) He has rendered it as "equipped axis", which is clearly wrong. It refers to a type of urban development based along a main road. |

The following definition indicates that it is a specific type of planned ribbon or strip development, rather than a type of road, after all.

Asse attrezzato
Disposizione di attività, soprattutto terziarie, lungo un sistema viario, per rendere più efficiente il sistema urbano garantendo migliore accessibilità ad alcune funzioni. E’ una alternativa all’eccessiva congestione e all’elevato pendolarismo delle città monocentriche.
Russell Jones: 3:52pm Jan 9, 2005: Glad you've found that - and thanks for posting the information. It obviously isn't the only way the term is used though. -

| Note from asker to answererHaving looked again at the text, the implication of urban development as well as just a type of road is probably wrong. So, I think "dual carriageway", "high-speed link road" or "urban motorway" are the best translations in this case.

| ribbon development
Explanation:
Hello and welcome.
I'd describe the sort of development you refer to in your question as a "ribbon development"
Looking at "asse attrezzato" by itself, I hadn't come across this term before, but judging by the way it's used on lots of websites, it can simply mean a link road, without necessarily having to have retail or other developments alongside it.
Hope that helps.
