Edited by Patricia Canto-Farachala and Miren Estensoro García, this book is a third volume developing Action Reseach for Territorial Development (ARTD), a dynamic and participatory environment dedicated to fostering transformative research. Building on previous works, this volume brings together an intergenerational and multicultural group of contributors, reflecting ARTD’s growth into a more inclusive and diverse community. This growth and development of the environment is mirrored in its two parts. The first features reflections from experienced researchers, including theoretical advancements and practical frameworks for facilitating action research processes. The second part highlights contributions from a new generation of action researchers, initiated through the training processes at Orkestra-Basque Institute of Competitiveness. The book also features contributions by action researchers who have been working with ARTD in Praxis, Argentina but had not published their work in previous volumes.These emerging voices bring fresh perspectives to ARTD, addressing global contexts and exploring themes such as systemic facilitation in urban policy, the role of young facilitators in decision-making, the challenges of navigating cultural diversity in participatory processes, and the transformation of organizational structures in local governments. One of the central contents in the book is on the analysis of the action research environment itself. Through collaborative processes like Zubigintza—a monthly workshop space for knowledge sharing—the contributors refined their ideas, fostering dialogue and collective learning. The content is the result of a co-generative learning process, where experienced action researchers and the new generation of researchers worked together to integrate diverse perspectives and advance the ARTD environment. This volume celebrates the evolution of ARTD as a space for participatory, democratic, and transformative research. It serves as both a reflection on the environment’s progress and a vision for its future, emphasizing its limitless potential for continuous growth driven by inclusivity, collective ownership, and innovative, boundary-crossing collaboration.

Territorial Development and Action Research examines the role of action research within fields such as territorial development and innovation. Most researchers analyse these fields from the outside, developing a theoretical understanding of what should be done, but not of how to do it. Based on their own experience of territorial development processes from the inside out, James Karlsen and Miren Larrea argue that filling the gap regarding social relations in the innovation process makes it possible for researchers to engage in the processes taking place in the territory, thereby revealing how to make things work. This book will help researchers face the pressure to engage and play a useful role in the development of their host regions. It will help policy makers to continuously learn and redefine policy approaches and bring about collaboration through networks, programs and projects where researchers and practitioners in regional, local and urban development work together to construct territorial development. Readers will acquire a better understanding of micro-territorial development processes and the roles played by individuals and coalitions in endogenous development processes.

No es solo el contenido académico lo que hace especial a este libro. Es la propia concepción de la investigación y su comunicación lo que le convierte en una obra que va mucho más allá de su especialidad: la investigación acción para el desarrollo territorial. Esta obra colectiva, coordinada por la investigadora Miren Larrea, hace una apuesta decidida por modificar los patrones clásicos de la comunicación científica en absoluta consonancia con la naturaleza de la investigación que proponen sus autores. El libro incorpora distintos tipos de textos para recoger un diálogo entre investigadores y agentes implicados y favorecer así una escucha mutua. Pero además recurre al multilingüismo para que los autores comuniquen mejor lo que quieren comunicar y a quienes deben comunicárselo. Ambas opciones —diversidad de textos y multilingüismo— conectan mundos que deben estar ligados: investigadores y actores en lo territorial, lo local y lo internacional, el idioma con la investigación apegada al territorio y lo teórico con lo aplicado. De este modo, los autores velan porque la investigación permee y llegue a su destino natural, pero también porque crezca gracias al intercambio de conocimientos y experiencias que propician. A través de las formas de comunicación elegidas, se pone de manifiesto la necesidad de que la investigación social suceda no solo en el ámbito de lo académico y no solo en inglés. Por eso tiene un valor singular, incluso para los no especialistas en este tema, que hay que agradecer a su editora, al conjunto de coautores y a la editorial.

The past is an increasingly unreliable guide to the future. European workplaces and the regions in which they are located face unprecedented pressures and challenges. Whereas in recent decades incremental adaptation has largely been sufficient to cope with external change, it is no longer clear that this remains the case. Globalisation, technological development and dissemination, political volatility, patterns of consumption, and employee expectations are occurring at a rate which is hard to measure. The rate of change in these spheres is far outstripping the rate of organisational innovation in both European enterprises and public governance, leading to a serious mismatch between the challenges of the 21st Century and the organisational competence available to deal with them. In this context, there is no clear roadmap. The contributors to this volume address these issues and demonstrate that building the knowledge base required by actors in this volatile environment requires continuous dialogue and learning a context in which social partners, regional policy makers and other participants share diverse knowledge and reflect on experience rather than seeking and imitating any notion of 'best practice'. Action Research has a crucial role to play, embedding shared learning within the process of innovation.

This book shows, first of all, that leadership plays a crucial role in reinventing regions and branching out from an old path to something new in order to create more balanced and sustainable regional development. Second, it maintains that leadership is not a solo but a multi-agent and -level activity and that it needs to be discussed and studied as such. Third, as the book argues, leadership is shaped differently in various institutional and cultural contexts and on different scales. This book explores the ways leadership plays our in regional development context contributing to economically, socially and ecologically balanced sustainable future.

Social innovation (SI) has, in the last decade or so, become an important idea and concept in policy, practice and scholarship surrounding human development. It is often seen as an antidote to narrowly defined technological and market-oriented modes of innovation. Its historical significance and development, tied to centuries of struggles for social change, remain under-appreciated and unacknowledged. This Advanced Introduction explores the historical and contemporary meanings of social innovation and its relationship with political and social movements. It develops an understanding of SI as a form of ethical practice for meeting needs, transforming social relations, and collectively empowering communities to shape the future. Additionally, it proposes that ethical research should aim to be socially innovative in this sense and provides concrete suggestions of how this concern can be embodied in action-research and community development methodologies.

This book aims to address the issue of the effects that the contemporary environmental, technological, social and economic global challenges produce on settlement systems, communities, institutions and enterprises. It presents a multi-disciplinary scientific debate on the new frontiers of strategic and spatial planning, decision support tools and ecological design, within the urban-rural areas networks and the metropolitan cities of the Mediterranean basin. The book focuses on five topics: Cultural Heritage as driver of development for territories and tourism destinations; Ecosystems, people-nature cohesion and urban-rural relationships; Decision Support Systems for urban regeneration; Policies and practices of cohesion and social innovation for inclusive cities; Green buildings and sustainable solutions for ecological transition. In addition, the book hosts the papers of a special session intercluster promoted by Italian Society of Architectural Technology (SITdA). The book benefits all researchers, practitioners and policymakers interested in the issue applied to metropolitan cities and marginal areas.

Democratic societies are being challenged to look for new ways of doing politics that involve different stakeholders, particularly citizens. This book looks at public authorities' attempts to put society at the core of public policies in the form of collaborative governance. It provides a full account of a major case from the provincial council of Gipuzkoa (Basque Country, Spain): 150 projects, more than 900 organisations, and 50.000 participants and beneficiaries. ‘Pracademic’ lessons learned derive from the interaction among 50 practitioners engaged in the day-to-day practice of the case and scholars from different countries. Topics included relate to major challenges that collaborative governance reforms are facing across the world: structures, institutionalisation, relationships, leadership, accountability, innovation, experimentation, communication, intangible resources, trust, and assessment of outcomes (particularly in terms of Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs). Ultimately, issues of democracy arise from a case covering a comprehensive list of policies: health, employment, elderly care, energy, cybersecurity, electromobility, artificial intelligence, immigration, education, social equity, and culture. This book is intended for students, professionals and scholars interested in fostering the study and practice of democracy.

This volume collects the results from the Politecnico di Milan’s award-winning “Boa_Ma_Nhã, Maputo!” research-by-design project, which studied various transdisciplinary approaches to development in the context of the Global South. The challenges of urbanization are well known, but that only goes so far in aiding implementation. From local considerations like water access and housing rights to global issues like climate change, territorial development demands solutions that address the needs of the specific population while keeping such goals as sustainability and inclusion in mind. By focusing on a number of towns within the Maputo Province of Mozambique, and thus addressing many of the issues endemic to Sub-Saharan Africa, the research, structurally presented so as to aid those who may require introduction to the issue, makes a clear case in favor of always keeping the Water-Energy-Food (WEF) Nexus in mind when formulating development strategies for improving people’s lives, as well as the wisdom of marrying academic findings with the insights accrued by local NGOs and institutions, thereby expanding the potential idea bank beyond the Eurocentric status quo that has tended to dominate the field.
