From culture to creativity and the creative economy: A new agenda for cultural economics

Circular Economy and the Role of Universities in Urban Regeneration: The Case of Ortigia, Syracuse

“…This would involve three main dimensions: (1) the institutional one, promoting policies and regulations; (2) the entrepreneurial one for resources mobilization;(3) educational one, involving training and communication institutions that can contribute to the process by providing experts in the professional and scientific fields and attracting talents whilst promoting civil culture.
