Ten years of crisis have aggravated Italy’s "deterritorialization", a process that has been going on for decades. The perspective, to remain "competitive" in global markets, of a undifferentiated "cosmopolis" has proved, to say the least, inadequate. The question is whether it is possible a different narrative of the territory (which we call "ecopolis") which, in relaunching the qualities and potentialities of the various local oikoi, also improves the quality of the global environment overall.

Keywords: Deterritorialization; cosmopolis; ecopolis; territorial capital.
