12. Let’s conclude... …with some questions!
13. 1. Is systemic thinking useful to understand the intersection between territorial networks and networks of practice? What theoretical concepts can we add to our work? 2. What can systemic thinking offer practitioners who are not familiar with its concepts in terms of approaching territorial development? 3. How can we measure how glocal digital networks enable new possibilities in territories in transition like Modena’s Artisan Village? Contact us!
