Innovation in the way supra municipal organizations interact and put solutions in play represents great opportunity for institutional redesign, the redefinition of the roles and missions of public bodies, the transfromation of bureaucratic practices, the commitment of people in institutions. What is happening In the enlarged Hadrian community shows that the redesign of public action, the redrafting of roles and narratives, the opening of processes and policies can generate a change in the way institutions and organizations work together.
