 Free Download The Enhancement of the Italian Territory: Alternative Financial Strategies for Small Municipalities by Antonio Invernale , Marzia Morena , Tommaso Truppi English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 93 Pages | ISBN : 3031540557 | 12.9 MB This book presents some alternative models and financial instruments for the enhancement of public properties and urban regeneration operations. Set against the backdrop of the current scenario of competition between cities to attract investments (but also of cooperation in front of challenges posed by sustainable development issues), the book describes the role played by Public Administrations through the measurement and comparison of their efficiency in the bureaucratic procedures in the field of real estate and their knowledge and use of some alternative financial tools, particularly civic crowdfunding. Following a brief overview of public-private partnership, the book highlights the potentialities of civic crowdfunding for the enhancement of public real estate assets in the Italian territory, related to small municipalities, also including some case studies. These good practices prove civic crowdfunding a useful tool not only to finance and implement public interest initiatives, but also to transparently and directly involve citizens.
