Abstract

The following study focuses on the relationship between the coast and the inland within the context of the Liguria region with the aim of formulating a representation based on integrated physical-spatial models capable of providing possible answers to the territory's urban-social and ecosystem problems. The research identifies two regional contexts of analysis - one in the east and one in the west - that are representative of the critical and fragile phenomena of the entire region, of which it analyses and restores at a spatial level the ecosystem qualities and the degree of innovation that the territory is capable of producing, in order to understand to what extent strategic planning and the investments that recent governance policies generate, reflect on the territorial ecosystem in terms of environmental quality, economic-productive development, socio-cultural dimension and political-technological innovation.
