description The topic of this article is the attempt of an industrial city to convert its model of development through a political strategy, in an age of post-Fordist restructuring and economic globalization. The city is Turin, wherein between 1993 and 2011, in a long cycle of government, a ruling elite acted to avoid the social and economic decline of the city by promoting an ambitious agenda. The category of ‘urban regime’ is the interpretive framework of the analysis. To contribute to the understanding of urban change dynamics and to highlight some still ambiguous questions in urban regime theory, the present study aims at reconstructing: a) which circumstances contributed to the development and then to the establishment of the urban regime; b) which factors have probably undermined its robustness and limited its success.
