The study, part of a broader research on user cooperatives in local public services, focuses on case studies conducted through open interviews integrated with chamber data and information on cooperative budgets.

These case studies complement the analysis of user cooperatives in local public services in Italy, examining the lessons learned from various realities and focusing on four main themes: history, cooperative structure, relations with members, and critical aspects and issues.

The case studies, selected for various activities and contexts, offer a comprehensive view of user cooperatives in sectors such as energy, water services, and telecommunications.
