The present WP offers a contribution to the open debate on local development challenges regarding “wide areas” where urban fabric is mostly based on SMSTs. The document is structured along the following lines: firstly, it will briefly discuss the competitiveness issue in a post-industrial society, specifying the differences and complementarities between the two “false friends” concepts of competitiveness and attractiveness of places (section 3); secondly it devotes some space to a “demand-side & supply-side” approach of place development (section 4); and finally it looks at the ongoing experiment of the Italian wide area approach to local development at a sub-regional level, with specific attention to the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region and its UTI “experiment” (section 5), taken as a case study. The conclusion of the WP in section 6 is by no way an evaluation of this specific experience (not even a preliminary one) but rather it presents a set of recommendations and some methodological suggestions and policy recommendations to properly promote this new territorial layer (“wide area”) within a multi-governance framework which can be quite difficult to interpret. These recommendations stem directly from the Friuli Venezia Giulia specific case but can be considered of general scope.

Abstract

The present WP offers a contribution to the open debate on local development challenges regarding “wide areas” where urban fabric is mostly based on SMSTs. The document is structured along the following lines: firstly, it will briefly discuss the competitiveness issue in a post-industrial society, specifying the differences and complementarities between the two “false friends” concepts of competitiveness and attractiveness of places (section 3); secondly it devotes some space to a “demand-side & supply-side” approach of place development (section 4); and finally it looks at the ongoing experiment of the Italian wide area approach to local development at a sub-regional level, with specific attention to the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region and its UTI “experiment” (section 5), taken as a case study. The conclusion of the WP in section 6 is by no way an evaluation of this specific experience (not even a preliminary one) but rather it presents a set of recommendations and some methodological suggestions and policy recommendations to properly promote this new territorial layer (“wide area”) within a multi-governance framework which can be quite difficult to interpret. These recommendations stem directly from the Friuli Venezia Giulia specific case but can be considered of general scope.
