The Quaderno 52 presents the results of the monitoring of the projects carried out by the Beneficiary Cities in favour of children and adolescents using the funds allocated through Law no. 285; the Quaderno, edited by Lorenzo Campioni, Adriana Ciampa and Antonella Schena, is divided into two parts.

The first part focuses on the activities of the Coordination Table between the Ministry and the Beneficiary Cities; it also reports the results of the analysis of projects concerning four thematic areas chosen by the Table: projects, measures and services for children with special needs, for children of foreign parents, for their families and for adolescents.

The second part begins with a general overview of the state of planning in the fifteen Beneficiary Cities; the text continues with an analysis of the projects carried out in each City and with a description of the support provided by the National Centre for the implementation of Law no. 285.

Attached to the Quaderno is a CD-ROM which, beside the publications of the National Centre, contains the text of the Report to Parliament on the state of implementation of Law no. 285 of 28 August 1997.
