The Golden Banana
The Golden Banana is an area of higher population density lying between Valencia in the west and Genoa in the east along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, defined by the "Europe 2000" report from the European Commission in 1995 similarly to the Blue Banana.[1][2] The golden banana has development axes extending into the Trieste area. This also relates to the trade flows of the maritime Silk Road or the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative and its developments to Central Europe.[3][4][5][6]
