The Province is a local intermediate public body with relevant competences (as well as delegations from the Emilia-Romagna Region) in several fields, amongst which territorial management, planning and development. In that it is responsible for the definition and implementation of the Territorial Coordination Plan, and thus it has competences of territorial steering and coordination.
