Abstract
The experimentation in applying typical business techniques and methodologies to
territory and its articulation is a topic that is gaining more and more importance in cultural and
academic debates (Bencardino, Napolitano, 2003), but also in actual governmental action in
territory, in view of the increasing weight that territorial development policies have assumed
in economic and social growth processes at all administrative levels: from communal to
provincial, regional to national.
This experimentation was conceived with the goal of identifying, in a synthetic manner,
the coherence between tools regarded as useful and to correctly apply those that have always
been strictly business methodologies to the “product” territory.
The experimentation in progress, not new in the international context but certainly in the
national one, finds its justification partly from the increase in competition and partly from the
raised awareness of the importance of satisfaction of various actors/clients of territory.
Competition between territories and geographic areas into which they have been divided and
managed (INU, 2003) is the triggering cause of an experimentation that sees in the dialogue
and multidisciplinarity an unavoidable need for defining new territorial planning models that
give value to geographic areas at varying degrees.
