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.

Abstract
Urban regeneration rests on an integrated and comprehensive vision aimed at solving urban problems and promoting the development of the concerned communities. A reinvention of the way space is perceived, building on culture to breathe new life into historic centres, is a rising civic need and a key challenge for policymakers and city managers. This could be achieved by resting on Cultural Heritage, local knowledge and capabilities to generate new opportunities and civic wealth. At present, Cultural Heritage is too often valued mainly for tourism purposes. A fact that also causes multiple problems: overcrowding, gentrification, conflicts between tourist and civic interests, urban traffic, generation of low-income jobs, to name but the most obvious. It follows that a deep understanding of civic and democratic participation in the access, preservation and exploitation of our Cultural Heritage is fertile ground for debate among scholars from various disciplines. The contributions in this book seek to fuel this debate from the perspective of management scholars.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
