Abstract

Local Economic Development (LED) is of considerable significance within the cultural context in which it operates and is currently becoming an increasingly important part in international cooperation. The possibility to enable scenarios of bottom-up economic and social development, led by local actors, is gaining ground in the last decade. In this context of steady change, the national and local governments, like businesses and other organizations must rethink development strategies in order to lead the change to widespread prosperity of the people and the ecosystem. To centre these goals the implementation of an approach that goes beyond a specific and punctual solutions is needed, so it tends to create connections between local material, energetic and informational resources, generating multiple and complex solutions. In particular, energy is a common good, considered as need fundamental and shared by the society, but also it is an individual right to increase our own capability. The socio-economical growth is strictly connected with the access to a secure and affordable supply of energy, because with a permanent availability of energy in its various forms, especially electricity, people can learn, produce, share and increase their activities in wide meaning. But the emissions associated with energy generation and consumption is also central to number of key environmental issues. Therefore, the aim is to define sustainable models using a holistic theory that take into account not only the economical and environmental aspects, but also the social ones. In Systemic Design (SD) theory, the economic, social and environmental benefits are required through the flows and the efficiency in the use of resources.
