Cultural Development Dimension.

What is the role played by territorial intelligence in sustainable development? What are the indicators that should be selected as main drivers of territorial sustainable development? Who will enhance what resources? Shall we focus on endogenous or exogenous factors in order to foster sustainable development? These questions are just a sample of those we try to address. In line with well-established sociological theories of sustainable territorial development, we wish to validate those hypotheses that, although centered on the economy as the system in which concrete growth opportunities can be observed, focus mainly on the cultural system and citizenship rights awareness as the essential correlates for a type of development that promotes socio-economic cohesion in a given territory. Many times, especially in the South of Italy, policies mainly designed to give priority to economic resources have failed: economic interventions alone, if not supported by clever investment planning aimed at overall development, arouse conflicts and unrest, often fostering deviant interest groups.
