Abstract
The new attention to places arising from the globalisation crisis has two opposite senses – one pointing at extracting from places the last remains of value they contain, the other at restarting the production of value crushed by the machine civilisation – and two spatial forms: concentration versus polycentrism, megacities versus urban biore- gions. Once analysed the social/territorial models behind this opposition, the paper embraces the second as the true way for a return of territories; describes the necessary steps articulating this process in a territorialist vision; finally, sees its emerging signs in social/ institutional instruments, policies and practices for a new, bottom-up globalisation.
