This review explores the volume Cultural Heritage as a Trigger for Civic Wealth Creation and Sustainable Urban Development, edited by Aureli, Del Baldo, Demartini, and Piber. As part of the Corporate Governance and Business Sector Scenarios series, the book examines how cultural heritage can become a strategic resource for civic wealth and local sustainable development. Structured around three themes—governance, stakeholder engagement, and impact reporting—it presents qualitative case studies of cultural entrepreneurial initiatives: La Paranza cooperative in Naples, the Container Garden in Turin, and the Terre degli Uffizi initiative in Tuscany. The final section focuses on tailored methodologies for evaluating cultural impacts. Emphasizing inclusive governance, local alliances, and so-cial value, the volume offers timely insights for researchers and practitioners interested in cultural management, and community-based development.
