This essay re-proposes a paper delivered on the occasion of a public seminaron «Strategic choices and operational priorities for the development of Naplesand the big urban areas in the South of Italy», held on April 16, 2007 by theSVIMEZ and the Association of Industrialists of Naples. It proves that six yearsago, when the economic crisis was looming, the SVIMEZ had re-launched thecentrality of the urban question for the South of Italy and its role within convergencepolicies.After having remembered that in the EU Framework for 2007-2013 a sectionon Cities has been introduced, which had been almost totally forgottenin the previous period, the author believes that the aim of convergence can beachieved taking into account the role of the big city and the importance it canoffer, with flexibility, all the conditions useful to catch all the possible evolutionsof the local and external demand as well as new opportunities for the improvementof the productivity of existing activities.If in the previous years, in the South of Italy, high fixed investments had notled to an equally high growth in production and productivity, it would be necessaryto prioritize investments in urban areas where they can allow improvementsin efficiency and trigger important multiplier effects, as well as recover blight.
