Bari urban regeneration and economic initiatives

Overview

The city of Bari has initiated several programs focused on urban revitalization and economic development. The administration submitted a candidacy for the ‘European Capital of Small Retail 2027’ under the ‘Visionary city’ category, emphasizing sustainability, digitalization, and entrepreneurship. This bid includes the ‘d_Bari’ program, which has allocated 12 million euros to support over 300 commercial activities.

Building on these economic goals, Bari hosted the second edition of the ‘inCittà’ national summit. The event addressed the protection of local commerce and the revitalization of historic centers. Discussions highlighted the ‘Diplomacy of Feelings’ model, an administrative approach led by Mayor Vito Leccese that prioritizes institutional listening and preventive care to address social issues such as youth unrest and economic hardship.
