This chapter describes the first phase of the research Centrality of Territories, aiming to promote a territorial regeneration based on the networking of resources and territories.

The aim is to enlarge the network in a multilevel perspective, with the university as coordinator, thanks to its dual role of organism for reflection, able to find theories and methods, and technological innovation, creating ommunicative and operational tools based on the use of smart technologies.
