“…Building on the theoretical categories of the above mentioned studies, the paper assesses the quality of the urban space of the city of Almaty in its diverse territorial expressions. Given the different approaches for assessing the characteristics of an urban environment, we have chosen to focus first of all on the analysis of administrative districts, as they build broadly homogeneous areas, and present a historically grounded evolution [32,33,34]. For overcoming possible differences in available data, we have opted for addressing to a wide range of different sources, as the Department of Statistics of Almaty, the Committee on Legal Statistics, and Special Accounts of the General Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Department of Emergency Situations of Almaty, 2GIS, RSE Kazhydromet, the hydrometeorological company operating in Almaty.…”

The article's aim is to assess the factors determining the quality of urban spaces as districts, quarters, neighborhoods. Methodologically the paper juxtaposes the analysis of selected scientific literature, with that of the transformations of the city of Almaty (Kazakhstan) from the mid 20th century. The case study has been selected for its significance within the Eurasian context, the relevance of the transformations that, in the last century, molded the city's present, and its inner differentiation, single districts having showed quite different development path, deeply contributing in determining actual quality of life of their inhabitants. After having discussed selected scientific literature on the topic, the paper analyses the different districts of the city, verifying, through empirical reconstruction of their origins and transformations, how, in the course of history, they assumed diverse, and sometimes diverging characters directly influencing the quality of their urban space. Quality of life in single districts has been assessed using a set of quantitative indicators as safety, comfort of living, environment, diversification and modernity of structures and services, business environment, social development, and human capital. Indicators, therefore, reflect features used as proxies for evaluating the city's standards. Indicators have been constructed exploiting open sources data produced by the Department of Statistics of Almaty, the Committee on Legal Statistics and Special Records of the General Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Department of Emergency Situations of Almaty, 2GIS, RSE Kazhydromet. The results of the research demonstrate that the city of Almaty is still characterized by high inner differences in terms of level of development; that these diversities have historical roots; and that development projects, far from reducing them, have in fact contributed to enhance distances between "high quality" and "poor quality" areas. This last point is of the utmost importance. As conclusion, in fact, the paper suggests that future urban policies should try to reduce difference before implementing further development plans especially in terms of special expansion, in order to avoid the risk of ever greater unbalances

“…Successful companies were able to develop new products, and innovative commercial strategies, they renovated themselves in terms skills and capabilities, they moved into high quality niches at global level often introducing up to date information technology to overcome at competitive costs space and time boundaries (Celetti, 2019;Corò, 2018), or to exploit scarce resources, as, for example, energy (Goodman et al, 2016;De Chiara, 2017;Gabaldón-Estevan and Ybarra, 2017;Simeoni et al, 2018). Firms effectively used the fast-growing demand for high quality, semi-luxury, and luxury goods, that, paradoxically enough, emerged as a major trend namely during the crisis, building on their artisanal background (Gilmore, 2007;Bocconcelli et al, 2015;Lombardi, 2016;Sergi, 2019a;Berezin, 2016a;Carli and Morrison, 2018;Turgel and Ulyanova, 2019;Turgel, 2019). Quality, in particular, is ever more interpreted as a juxtaposition of material and immaterial values, like history, culture, landscape, that, in turn are tightly linked with territorially identified productions (Corò and Grandinetti, 2010;Busato and Corò, 2011;Anastasia and Corò, 2011;Volpe et al, 2012;Corò and Gurisatti, 2016;Palazzo, 2017;Altamura and Pisani, 2019;Perrino, 2020;Festa, 2020).…”

The paper discusses relations between early modern rural structures, and industrialisation paths taking a selected territory of the Veneto region as a case study. It questions, in particular, the influence of the system of mixed farming (coltura promiscua) performed by independent peasant family (famiglia appoderata) on the so-called 'diffused industrialisation processes' occurred in Italy from the 1960s onwards. It verifies if mixed farming can explain through its social, economic, and territorial structures the specific modernisation path that stays at the origins of current economic configuration. The article contributes to the analysis of the incidence of rural contexts on local development and, in particular, on the emergence of an industrial structure widely based on little and medium firms. Methodological approach unites critical analysis of selected scientific publications statistical reconstruction of relevant economic trends, and empirical study of a territory at municipality level.

“…Regarding the effects of SCC, existing studies have primarily focused on the economic and environmental effects of SCC (Song et al, 2022). In terms of economic effects, SCC exerts positive effects on economic equity (Lara et al, 2016), production efficiency (Peng et al, 2017), innovation (Caragliu and Del Bo, 2019), and economic growth (Visvizi et al, 2018;Sergi et al, 2019). It also drives regional employment, lowers production costs, and enhances urban development (Luo et (Shen et al, 2023), and NO2 (Chen, 2023).…”
