The contribution of the regional economy to Next Generation Europe

Abstract

The contribution analyses “The contribution of the regional economy to Next Generation Europe”, with attention to the context, reading instruments and policy implications. As time passed, however, monoculture, the contextual transmission of knowledge -typical of the district world - was less strategic, sometimes representing a brake on the same ability to innovate, a bond to that change that should always accompany the path of development of each system. The social space imposed by Covid has profoundly depotentiated, until it cancels them, those economies of agglomeration that were considered the strength of the cities, although it can be assumed that over this moment the ancient habits return. The three strategic lines of the Next Generation Europe (NGEu)– the Green Deal; the strengthening of the single market by adapting it to the digital age; the fair and inclusive recovery for all – also have a territorial dimension and, in fact, impose revisiting the role and importance of the places. Istat on the basis of these criteria identified 610 SLLs by qualifying them on the basis of production specializations and distinguishing them further between districts and not districts.
