Abstract

Questo paper analizza le disparit? di produttivit? e competitivit? tra le regioni europee. Oltre alla storica dorsale dell?Europa centro-occidentale, la ?Banana Blu?, lo studio qui presentato si propone di esaminare le nuove integrazioni urbane in Europa Centro-Orientale, e nei territori Mediterranei dell?UE, evidenziandone le trasformazioni economiche. Assumendo la suddivisione regionale Nuts 2 e i dati provenienti dall?ultimo Regional Competitiveness Index (Rci) dell?UE, lo studio analizza la concentrazione spaziale e demografica dell?Unione. Utilizzando il Modello gravitazionale e le Teorie di Stewart sull?Energia Demografica e il Potenziale di Popolazione, insieme ad analisi di correlazione spaziale, si indaga se la ?Banana Blu? mantenga il proprio primato spaziale. I risultati confermano la centralit? della dorsale, nonostante l?emergere di nuovi poli competitivi, sottolineando il ruolo chiave delle strategie regionali per ridurre le disuguaglianze e promuovere l?innovazione oltre l?epicentro tradizionale
