"Shrinking Italy? I sistemi urbani italiani ai tempi della crisi"
No full textDepuis la fin du « miracle économique italien » il y a une quarantaine d'années, la péninsule connaît un phénomène de
contraction des populations urbaines, en particulier dans les grandes métropoles du Nord. Cependant, à l'échelle des systèmes locaux, c'est
l'intérieur du Sud et les îles qui sont le plus frappés par le déclin démographique, alors que les régions du Nord attirent la population. La
décroissance urbaine italienne peut être rattachée à la notion de « shrinking city », qui implique un étalement urbain et une consommation
d'espace malgré une diminution de la population
Italy and European spatial policies: polycentrism, urban networks and local innovation practices
No full textThis article presents the changes that are emerging in the Italian urban and territorial policies mainly through the
discussion of the relationship between the principles of polycentricity and networking affirmed by the European Spatial
Development Perspective (ESDP) and, in general, by the European official documents on spatial planning, and the role
of polycentrism and networking in Italian praxis. The article is organized as follow. The first section presents the general
framework of the concept of polycentrism and its relevance for the European Union (EU) policies. The second, third and
fourth sections briefly describe Italian territorial organization and spatial policies, and illustrate some operational
examples of the application of the network model. The fifth section presents the empirical and political relevance of the
concepts of network and polycentrism. Finally, in the conclusion, the use of the network proposed by the European
official documents on spatial planning and the difference between different meanings of this concept are discussed (from
field of interurban relations to local mechanisms of collective action)
Territories in action, territories for action: the territorial dimension of Italian local development policies
No full textCurrent changes in territorial organization are interpreted by focusing on two main aspects that are different yet closely
interrelated. The first aspect concerns relationships between unfolding processes of territorial redefinition and changes
imposed by globalization processes and by European integration, and by the loss of centrality and of part of the power of
nation-state government. The second aspect concerns the change in forms and procedures of collective action in urban
and territorial policies, recognizing, in particular, the consolidation - including in practices - of forms of partnership, interinstitutional
cooperation, strategic planning and governance. Within this general context, this article aims to present and
discuss changes, both ongoing and recent, by (1) presenting the changes that are emerging in the framework of Italian
urban and territorial policies; and (2) discussing critically, with reference to the Italian case, the relationship between
change in the idea of local territories and change in urban and territorial policies. Our aim is to verify whether, within what
limits and from what point of view, the innovations introduced in the Italian context may be interpreted as changes that
are moving towards more place-focused forms of urban and territorial governance
