The book presents the results of two research projects financed by the Autonomous Province of Trento and developed by the Interuniversity Department of Regional and Urban Studies and Planning of Politecnico di Torino, under the scientific coordination of Grazia Brunetta: The application of Territorial integrated evaluation methodology for designing retail territorial scenarios in Trentino (20112012), and The Territorial integrated evaluation criteria for planning in the Trentino Valley Communities (20132014).
A special thanks to Alessandro Olivi, Vice President of the Autonomous Province of Trento and Provincial Minister of the Department of Economic Development and Work, Paolo Nicoletti, General Manager of the Autonomous Province of Trento, and Luciano Fruet from the Retail Office of the Department of Economic Development and Work. They all shared in the basic concept of TIE and supported the research activity, implementing its experimentation in the provincial planning practices.
During the research I have had the opportunity to discuss the experimentation described in the book with several colleagues. In particular, I would like to thank Alessandro Balducci, Angela Barbanente, Cristina Bianchetti, Laura Fregolent, Manuela Ricci, Gabriele Paolinelli, Franco Prizzon, Marco Trisciuoglio and Bruno Zanon for their contributions to the discussion of the first research results. I would like to thank Alex Fubini and Antonio Leone for reading and commenting on the first draft of the book.
A special thanks goes out to my colleagues on the Research Team, with whom I have shared ideas and the work processes presented here. They have supported me with passion in every phases of the research: Ombretta Caldarice, Silvia Giordano, Patrizia Lombardi, Roberto Monaco, Lorenzo Piacentino, Attilia Peano, Emma Salizzoni, and Antonio Cittadino and Francesco Fiermonte from the Laboratory of Territorial and Urban Research.
