Post-Metropolitan Territories and Urban Space is the product of a research project funded by the Italian national Ministry for Education and University. It constitutes a thorough overview of a country that is one of Europe’s most diverse in terms of regional development and performance: Italy. This book brings together case studies of a number of Italian cities and their hinterlands and looks at new forms of urbanization, exploring themes of sustainability, industrialisation, de-industrialisation, governance, city planning and quality of life.
Processes of multi-scalar regional urbanization are occurring worldwide. Such processes are clearly distinguishable from those of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries due to the shifting concepts of both the city and the metropolis. International literature highlights how what we have historically associated with the idea of cities has long been subjected to consistent reconfiguration, which involves stressing some of the typical features of the idea of "cityness".
