North-Western Platform: ‘Sit-Ins’ as tool for territorial governance

The north-western platform is one of the macroregional contexts surveyed by the Itater 2020 research. This was conducted by the Italian society of urban planners on mandate of the Italian Ministry of Infrastructures in the framework of the EU cohesion policy programming for period 2007-2013. Sit-Ins (Interdependent territorial systems) are proposed as strategic spatial units for a perspective scenario of the aforementioned context, fostering polycentric development and multi-level governance in the cohesion policy process.
