A certain urban dimension in development policies is present in Italy, albeit in an implicit manner and frequently entrusted to local initiatives. The article focuses on this theme, tracing three different urban policies: for urban regeneration, technological development and ‘festivalisation’ (the new economy of the city of tourism and cultural innovation).

This article appears in issue 130 of Urbanistica (pag. 12).
