In the framework of the 4th edition of the International Symposium “New Metropolitan Perspectives”, organized by the Università Mediterranea of Reggio Calabria, Italy, in partnership with the Rhegion United Nations 2020-2030 and the EU RISE project TREnD, the Session Ts-04-T2. “Re-Balancing Territorial Inequalities: How Marginalized Areas Can Be Catalysts of Local Development” is chaired by the CNR IRISS researcher Gabriella Esposito De Vita, with Elena Marchigiani (University of Trieste) and Camilla Perrone(University of Florence).

The session aims to address the engines of the abandonment, ageing and depopulation of large areas in European regions, according to EU cohesion policies, targeting the complexity of territorial imbalances through the regeneration of marginalized areas.

The discussion will focus on contexts at the “outskirts” of mainstream urban, social and economic trends, in order to highlight issues generating their depletion and downsizing, as well as to discuss how to improve a more sustainable development in the so-called marginalized areas.
