The Employment Agreement of the City of Milan: a Participatory Governance tool for a more sustainable and inclusive City model

Abstract

At the end of 2019, the Milan metropolitan area presented itself with a recovering economy, having absorbed the employment and economic damage caused by a number of international crises between 2008 and the following years in almost all sectors. After the important experience of Expo, the area positioned itself as a point of reference not only on a national but also on a European level: great attention was paid to economic development and innovation, diversification of activities and the productive apparatus, but always in coherence with social inclusion and environmental transition. An economy that generates quality of life, attentive to safety and well-being.
