Common values for common goods: a circular regeneration model for active citizenship

Regenerating cultural heritage implies adopting a systemic and multi-scalar approach capable of considering the characteristics and flows of relations between the different components of the system. The regeneration project can represent a circular strategy to reconnect people and places, generating and regenerating material and immaterial values of cultural heritage as a 'common good'. The research proposes a circular and participatory regeneration model, validated through an evaluative framework, to support decision-making and to assess the multidimensional impacts of reuse, redevelopment, maintenance and management practices of the commons, at all stages of the recovery project, and with respect to emerging instances and criteria adopted in existing policies.
