Resilience thinking per la rigenerazione del Paesaggio Storico Urbano

At a time when the fragility of the mechanisms that govern our life on Earth is emerged, with the evident inadequacy of our settlement systems and ways of life, the issue of Urban Resilience has become crucial. UNESCO’s Recommendation on the HUL, arising from an awareness of the rapidity of the evolution of development processes on a global scale and their consequences, recognize the role of a complex, systemic, dynamic vision of cultural heritage and landscape conservation/ regeneration for urban resilience and sustainability. In this scenario, a resilience thinking-based approach can provide an effective toolbox to manage and improve innovation starting from the evolutionary and regenerative capacity recognized in the Historic Urban Landscape, contributing to drive it towards scenarios of resilience and sustainability. Methods and tools experienced in the present research combine the HUL approach with resilience thinking in particularly vulnerable and at-risk contexts such as the Buffer zone of Pompeii. The research identifies in the relationships between the concepts of Circularity, Productivity and Resilience an effective interpretative key of the phenomena that occur in the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL), in order to achieve the Agenda 2030 goals of inclusiveness, security, resilience, sustainability. Based on this theoretical model, the research proposes new methods and tools to describe the systemic and complex nature of the HUL and for a systemic productivity and process circularity, entrusting value to the complex system of resources generated by the landscape.
