Regambling - Reducing gambling through regulation: the revolt of local authorities

Part of the URBES dataset collection, this initiative maps, monitors, and evaluates local administrative gambling regulations and preventative public policies across Italian municipalities. The project focuses on how local frameworks can effectively combat the socio-economic impacts of pathological gambling addiction on vulnerable family structures.

Methodology: Web-search keyword mapping, comparative policy analysis, and the development of open-access longitudinal datasets tracking municipal gambling ordinances.

The project produced the following dataset and articles:
2020 Dataset on local gambling regulations in Italy
