The role of meta-organization in the private real estate management. Inter-organizational dynamics in the historic centre of Naples

This study presents some preliminary insights of an ongoing research on smart communities with an emphasis on historic centers of cities. Our analysis is part of the Italian research project SNECS – “Social Networks delle Entità dei Centri Storici”. The main goal is to analyse models of meta-organization able to enhance and to manage the private real estate of the historic center of Naples (Campania Region, Italy), with a focus on the so-called "lower city", which includes the Market Square area and the “Borgo Orefici” area.
