3. Projects and Initiatives – Natural Shopping Centres (CCN)
Mentore has direct access to SMEs' data in the fields of retail, tourism, services through its in
Confcommercio network, as well as indirect data concerning industries.
In these last 14 years, Mentore has been following the development and monitoring the evolution of
some small business (SMEs) clusters, generally operating in the retail and service sectors, that
“naturally” develop in town and city centres to oppose to the growth of suburban retail and
entertainment structures.
These clusters are called “Natural Shopping Centres” (CCN) and usually have a specific juridical
and organisational structure (in the form of an association or a consortium). Today, there are
over 150 Natural Shopping Centres in Tuscany, involving a total of 15,000 SME members.
The Natural Shopping Centre is part of the town centre; for this reason, supported by the retailers’
associations, it often takes part in the local administration’s decision making processes.
CCNs often also become important advocates for capital improvement projects, urban safety and
city marketing plans and contribute effectively to town centre management.
