Challenges and opportunities.This book discusses local area planning in the Lombardy region of Italy. The book provides valuable insights about the development of local welfare systems and the territorial organization of social services through the analysis of the evolution of the Local Area Plan, which lies at the intersection of sub regional governance and of social services delivery models. Using Lombardy as a case study, this brief analyzes the structural conditions influencing the establishment of Local Area Plans, their effect on inter-municipal cooperation, and the need for possible reforms. The book is organized as follows: the first chapter presents a reconstruction of the national and regional framework, analyzing the structure of ties and opportunities within which Local Area Plans are called to act. The second chapter provides a review of the extant literature on Local Area Plans and introduces the theoretical framework used by the volume. The third chapter details legislation introducedin Lombardy to reform the governance structure of Local Area Plans by supporting a process of reorganization and aggregation. The fourth chapter presents some cases of Local Area Plan aggregation. The final chapter presents the conclusion and some brief considerations about the future of social planning. Providing an empirical analysis of local service delivery, this book will be useful to scholars and practitioners interested in public administration, welfare, local government, non-profit and public organizations, and management.Economics and Finance SeriesPublic administrationEconomic policySocial policyFinance, PublicPublic AdministrationSocio-Economic PolicyPublic FinancePublic ManagementPublic administration.Economic policy.Social policy.Finance, Public.Public Administration.Socio-Economic Policy.Public Finance.Public Management.261.8088282Previtali Pietro554916Salvati EugenioMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483316503321Local welfare and the organization of social services1903159UNINA
