Sustainable and resilient regeneration of the historic settlement

The activities of the International Workshops, started from 2014 Erasmus Program, have taken advantage of a series of studies, research and design experiments elaborated by the Department of Architecture of University of Naples Federico II in support of the implementation of the UNESCO Great Project. The Project has been promoted by the Municipality of Naples to identify suitable redevelopment strategies for the renovation of the ancient centre of the city, aimed at integrating the recovery and enhancement of monumental buildings with the revitalization of socio-economic tissue and cultural activities. Such background has provided an essential knowledge base to effectively read and understand the urban, architectural, cultural and environmental complexity of the ancient centre, as well as a series of best practices of intervention aimed at embedding the topics of sustainable and resilient regeneration in the common practice of local administrations.
