Territory as a resource

Abstract

I would have liked to start this consideration with a satisfactory summary of the state of play that would have helped us to identify clear lines of research integrated on a solid conceptual frame and a good intervention catalogue and on-going institutional practices. It would have been reassuring to be able to point at a starting point mature enough and discuss possible future roads with some guarantees, but only a central discussion is emphasized, one obsessed with the reorganization of the economic space at a worldwide scale and whose main task consists on elaborating a new international distribution of work that guarantees the conservation of the productivity numbers, something that has generated a harsh struggle between mature cities that want to see themselves as developers of their own destiny when in reality they are the ones walking towards an inevitable proletarianization.
