Abstract: Advanced Cultural Districts explores the organisational design issues within the cultural heritage sector, with particular focus on the advanced forms of cultural districts for local socio-economic development. Covering eight Italian case studies, most of the literature concentrates on urban clusters, cities of art and cities of culture, intended for local socio-economic development. The book aims to extend the knowledge and understanding of cultural heritage under a managerial and, in particular, organizational perspective. Our arguments intend to support a more conscious and sustainable way of cultural districtualisation as a form to support the local socio-economic development.
