What is the Italian concept of Industrial District?
”Omogeneous productive contexts, featured by a high
concentration of companies, particularly small and mediumsized, and by a peculiar internal organisation are defined
local productive systems The above mentioned local
productive system, characterised by a high concentration of
industrial companies and by a productive specialisation of
the system of companies, is defined industrial district.”
(Article 6 of the Act No.140/1999
on “Local production systems, industrial districts and
industrial development consortia”)
The urban and logistics upgrading of Sassuolo 1
Sassuolo: the “Tiles industrial district” in Italy
A territorial system of 11 municipalities
Two different provinces: Modena and Reggio Emilia
Settled in the Region Emilia Romagna
A surface of 485 square kms
A population of 170.000 inhabitants
(+ 6,3% in the years 1991/1998)
A development process
moving from agricultural to industrial dominant economy
The urban and logistics upgrading of Sassuolo 2
Leader economy sector: the ceramic tiles industry
District yearly turnover € 1.400 millions
521 tiles factories - Over 23.000 employees
Annual output 590 million square meters of tiles
80% of the Italian production - Export rate 48%
25% of world production
499 local units manufacturing related mechanics employ 4.389 people.
50 local units glazing and varnishing tiles employ 1.161 people.
National Association of Tile Manufacturers HQ settled in Sassuolo.
The urban and logistics upgrading of Sassuolo 3
Infrastructure in the area:
 ordinary roads system serving both resident people and ware transport
 railway network connected to Milan-Bologna backbone
 dramatic air and water pollution
 transport slow-down and increased productive and social costs
The main objectives:
 to recover sustainable development
 to improve productive competitiveness
The urban and logistics upgrading of Sassuolo 4
The tool:
“Urban upgrading and sustainable development
programme” - P.R.U.S.S.T
PRUSST tests an innovative methodology for territorial programming
in a highly industrialised area as the tiles district is.
Main co-financing partners in the programme are:
Emilia Romagna Region
Modena and Reggio Emilia Provinces
11 Municipalities
Local Entrepreneurial Associations
Civic NGOs
The urban and logistic upgrading of Sassuolo 5
PRUSST main activities:
1. Urban and environmental upgrading for the qualification of human
dwelling;
2. Improvement of life quality through the rehabilitation of local rivers;
3. Planning and utilities provision to new areas for industrial settlement;
4. Planning and building of an innovative logistic network based on 4 intermodal stores and delivery centres funded by private and public
investments;
5. Decreasing of pollution by transport of final product of the tiles district;
6. Rationalisation of internal and external mobility of the district
for the efficient transport of people and goods.
The urban and logistics upgrading of Sassuolo 6
The PRUSST in the tiles district aims the creation of a “sustainable town”.
The model is the EU document on “The European Sustainable Towns”
elaborated by European Commission expert team on urban environment.
By promoting initiatives of moving productive activities
and urban qualifying,
PRUSST encourages transversal development in different sectors,
having as a common basis the territory
and improving its attractiveness.

The methodology of PRUSST
 consensus building on strategic development based on awareness
rising of the real needs of social players and citizens
 participation of all local actors to the decisional process of the
development plan
 joining the public and private sides on shared, common targets and
choices.
PRUSST represents a success story of “concerted or negotiated
programming”: the Italian innovative legal framework of policy making
for territorial integrated development connecting public and private
investments.
Promoting partnership based project generation:
the Region Friuli Venezia Giulia for industrial districts development
The industrial districts according to regional act No. 27/99 are:
 economic - occupational development frameworks
 seats for promotion and co-ordination of local industrial
policy initiatives
 areas for wrapping up institutional, economic and social
subjects
 tools to strengthen of the productive system
competitiveness and to pursue a more effective use of the
existing industrial policy tools
 stakeholders for starting new initiatives and to promote the
implementation of trans-regional projects.
