Abstract

Morphological, historical and technical factors explain Italy's polycentric character. The territorial backbone is formed by the system of medium-sized cities, which is well established in the northern and central regions, but less in the weak-performing southern regions; the so-called Mezzogiorno. Against this background and one of institutional reform towards a more federal government structure the concept of polycentricity is present both implicitly and explicitly in national and regional policies.
