Partner is responsible of WP 5 - case of project 1 - Economical development.
Within this WP the study of two local cases of Lombardy jurisdiction.
(The WP must have internal rules? Which ones? How do you see the role of the WP responsible? How do you think exchange of experiences within the WP should be promoted? What could be the ways to structure the WP: distinct meetings, news by email? Others?).
Proposal of internal rules:
WP Responsible role:
Exchange WP experiences:
(What are the administrative levels within the region for different policy, planning, and project purposes? What are the different competences within these areas? What is the relationship between these levels and the small towns? The mountains?).
Administrative levels are Provinces and Municipalities.
Provinces have the role of territorial wide area planning. Through Territorial Plans of Provincial Coordination (PTCP) they defines the infrastructural frame, ways for environmental protection, standards for identifying sections in which is possible the localization of great distribution stores.
Municipalities are responsible Urban planning Bodies. A particular care of urban planning is the Commerce Urban Planning: Municipalities identify, based on specific economical and territorial analysis, areas destined to Great and Medium distribution stores.
Municipalities release of trading licenses activity permissions for neighbourhood concerns and for Medium distribution stores.
(Examples: what part is covered by mountains, what are the types of mountain (high, medium, low), which is the quota of the population living in mountain areas, what is the role of the mountain areas in the regional economy, etc.).
Mountain areas cover the 40% of Regional surface.
At the North of the Region there is a Mountain zone, then a Sub-mountain zone sloping down to the Great Padana Plain end a hill zone in the south. (Pavia Province).
(Examples: size, hierarchy, demographic and economic changes, main social and economic problems).
Multi-centric Urban System both in inner Milan city area and in the Lombardy Region.
In the Plain belt and in the Sub mountain belt crossing the region from east to west there is the higher concentration of population and productive activities, with peaks in Milan area and along the ways connecting the regional chief town to Varese, Como, Lecco and Bergamo.
In the low Padana Plain there is a substantial persistence of agricultural activity. Along the lake shores and in middle and great mountain centres a strong tourist activity is reported.

Ancient Urban cores characterized by demographic decay phenomenon, lack of infrastructural and services system, percentage of population over 64 y.o. above 20%.
Rural Mountain Economy. Presence of handicraft functions with historical value. (i.e. "Pietra Ollare" processing in Valtellina). Areas have always been at the edge of historical commercial roads.
They now show shortage in commercial distribution and neighbour services system.
(Examples: symbolic values attached to the mountains, level of attractiveness for residential and/or leisure time activities, level of repulsiveness, differences among community and social groups. Please comment your replies!)
High landscape value of sites. Few tourist attraction, lack of infrastructural and hosting system.
Placement in a particular landscape and environmental regional areas - regional Parks (Parco Regionale dell'Alto Garda Bresciano)

Particular aspects of Lombardy Region Laws:
A recent law about little Mountain municipalities identifies a precise supporting framework for Municipalities with less than 2.000 inhabitants population (45% of the Whole Lombardy Municipalities) in which exist social-economical and infrastructural Marginalization situations, taken every 5 years based on demography, on wealth level, on services equipment and the tourist guidance.
Facilities are foreseen for:
The Triennial Programme about Commercial field development 2003-05 and related applicated conditions, forseeing specific development objects for mountain areas paying attention at the neighbour services maintenance, Financial Initiative as l.r. 13/2000 supporting multi-service shops and other experimental forms, particular attentions to impacts generated by the allocation of Great selling stores).
