Cultural Heritage as a Trigger for Civic Wealth Creation and Sustainable Urban Development
La rigenerazione urbana si basa su una visione integrata volta a risolvere i problemi urbani e a promuovere lo sviluppo delle comunità interessate. Reiventare lo spazio, valorizzare la cultura per dare nuova vita ai centri storici, è un’esigenza civica crescente e una sfida per i politici e i manager delle città. Questo obiettivo potrebbe essere raggiunto valorizzando il Patrimonio Culturale e i saperi locali per generare nuove opportunità e benessere per i cittadini. Al momento, troppo spesso il Patrimonio Culturale viene apprezzato principalmente a fini turistici. Un fatto che causa anche molteplici problemi: sovraffollamento, gentrificazione, conflitti tra interessi turistici e civici, traffico urbano, generazione di posti di lavoro a basso reddito, per citare solo i più evidenti. Ne deriva che una profonda comprensione della partecipazione civica e democratica nell'accesso, nella conservazione e nello sfruttamento del nostro Patrimonio Culturale è un terreno fertile per il dibattito tra studiosi di varie discipline. I contributi di questo libro cercano di alimentare tale dibattito dal punto di vista degli studiosi di management. DOI: 10.13134/979-12-5977-201-5
