Abstract (EN):
(...) During the last years, the COVID-19 pandemic and, more recently, the war in Ukraine, following the decision of Russia to invade it, impacted deeply world economy and citizens daily life, particularly in some territories more exposed to the tourism industry or relying more on non-renewable energies and other production factors which the war turned scarcer or more expensive. No one knows yet when this international conflict can have an end. Besides, the international trade chain goes on suffering from the impacts of the pandemic, a phenomenon that is still without enough control in China. The need to enhancing the fight against global warming and climate change, as well as the continuous evolution of digital technologies, are also bringing some uncertainty to the markets, and it is hard to predict whose territories will be the winning and looser ones.
In this context, adopting more sustainable development strategies, social inclusive policies, more environmental friendly transport modes, commit more on innovation and entrepreneurship at regional and local levels, and adopting new governance models at the territories, aiming deepen democracy and give efficacy to the decision making process on the main issues affecting territories development, looks to be required.
The overall aim of this conference is to bring ideas, theoretical approaches and examples of potential solutions to territorial bottlenecks and social and development difficulties.
