Cagliari is the second most "competitive" city in the South, second only to Naples, but it still has to deal with a huge gap both with respect to the cities of central-northern Italy and those of the rest of Europe.
This is what emerges from the new report drawn up by the Centro Studi of Cna Sardegna , which has also elaborated the ranking of the various Italian cities with regard to the levels of socio-economic competitiveness. A ranking, as mentioned, dominated by the central-northern cities, with the exception of Naples (in 26th place) and, precisely, for the Sardinian capital (34th).
Things in the other provinces are much worse: according to the Cna dossier, in fact, the provinces of Nuoro, Oristano and Southern Sardinia are the rear of the country and are placed in the last places even compared to the more problematic realities of southern Italy.
Nuoro is placed only in 101st place (it was last in the previous ranking), Oristano in 103rd, with South Sardinia immediately after.
As for Sassari, the province is in 74th place, behind the provinces of the centre-north but better than 75% of the southern provinces.
"If Sardinia's objective is to support the economy of the whole territory, and to do so by aiming at a balanced and sustainable socio-economic development capable of putting a stop to the process of depopulation and structural aging which risks irreparably condemning some of its territories, the very strong imbalance that emerges from the provincial classifications must be taken very seriously», commented Luigi Tomasi and Francesco Porcu , respectively president and secretary of Cna Sardegna.
«It is therefore the task of local institutions and administrations - they add - to promote local development in order to reverse a trend that appears to be consolidated ; if a large part of the regional, human and economic resources have no alternative but to flow towards Cagliari and its hinterland and all the economic policy choices reinforce these trends by improving the competitiveness of the capital, but accelerating the decline of the internal areas and less accessible, Sardinia is condemned to a sort of unequal development and accelerated impoverishment for the less fortunate areas».
