Sakan Project. Strategie e governance per uno sviluppo urbano cultural based nella Città dei Morti

The Sakan Project. Strategic instruments and governance processes for a culture-based urban development of the City of the Dead - In a world in which the classification of cities, disguised under the word development, hides the slavish acquisition of heterotopic models, it is important to defend uniqueness and differences and to explain to local and national governments that a framework of development policies based on cultural resources and identity is the only path to follow for real and sustainable development. In this respect there are many and varied references in the theoretical literature to the direct and indirect ways in which the presence of cultural institutions and the enhancement of cultural heritage can bring widespread benefits, by strengthening the image of a city and above all by defining new development scenarios which combine economic, social and cultural dimensions and local resources with governance and community involvement processes. This is the approach that is taken in an attempt to define a new ‘Vision for the City of the Dead’.;
