Following a relational perspective, this research examines models of socio-economic regeneration of small municipalities by observing their flows, connections, and reflexivity on the limits of sustainability. The ‘flow’ articulates the relationship between people and resources that generate traffic in the territories. By ‘connection’ we mean any mode that articulates the relationship between distance and proximity (physical or psychological) consolidating or weakening social ties and inspiring project communities. By ‘limit’ we mean the reflexivity on the sustainability of flows and connections that articulates the circular relationships between the following factors: speed and slowness, large and small, central and peripheral, public and private. Flow, connection, and limit are categories that we could define as meta-semantic and inspire local development practices. Among the 50 cases reviewed, 14 Municipalities were selected and classified into 10 categories. By examining these cases, we will try to understand how flow, connection, and limit have been considered.

Abstract
Following a relational perspective, this research examines models of socio-economic regeneration of small municipalities by observing their flows, connections, and reflexivity on the limits of sustainability. The ‘flow’ articulates the relationship between people and resources that generate traffic in the territories. By ‘connection’ we mean any mode that articulates the relationship between distance and proximity (physical or psychological) consolidating or weakening social ties and inspiring project communities. By ‘limit’ we mean the reflexivity on the sustainability of flows and connections that articulates the circular relationships between the following factors: speed and slowness, large and small, central and peripheral, public and private. Flow, connection, and limit are categories that we could define as meta-semantic and inspire local development practices. Among the 50 cases reviewed, 14 Municipalities were selected and classified into 10 categories. By examining these cases, we will try to understand how flow, connection, and limit have been considered.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
