2020
AbstractThe European crowdfunding market is growing rapidly, especially in continental Europe. At the same time, cross-border activities are still constrained. Fragmented markets, especially caused by differences in regulation, are an obstacle to growth of crowdfunding platforms.

2013
Le città italiane da qualche anno stanno attraversando un momento difficile non solo in termini economici ma anche sociali e culturali in senso ampio. Tuttavia la crisi è anche un'opportunità di sperimentare strategie alternative e nuove forme di finanziamento collettivo, come il crowdfunding. Si tratta di un meccanismo che permette di finanziare collettivamente una proposta progettuale di vario genere, che in questo caso potrebbe essere legata alla città e agli spazi della vita sociale, per rafforzare il senso di appartenenza ed identità al luogo in cui i cittadini vivono e contribuire alla realizzazione di interventi per la riqualificazione urbana.

El fuerte peso de la financiación pública d…
