Abstract
Law n°56 of 2014 (also called Delrio Law) established, in the Italian context, a new level of territorial government such as the metropolitan city, which includes within its boundaries several municipalities, with the aim of pursuing a more efficient management of the urban space and of the challenges faced by cities in terms of right to the city, economic development, social equity and respect for and protection of the environment. This new administrative tier, which includes 36% of the Italian population and produces 41% of the national added value, aims at promoting the strategic development of the city, managing its services, infrastructures and communication networks, which have a decisive impact on the quality of life of its citizens. According to Law n°56/2014, each metropolitan city must write a strategic plan containing its objectives in terms of territorial development and their social, economic and environmental sustainability. Thus, this article proposes a computational analysis of the lexical dimension of the strategic plan of the Metropolitan City of Cagliari Verso un futuro condiviso: Piano strategico metropolitano agenda strategica operativa, to identify its key themes besides official political statements.I metadati presenti in IRIS UNICA sono rilasciati con licenza Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal, mentre i file delle pubblicazioni sono protetti da diritto d'autore, salvo diversa indicazione.
