Abstract
One of the crucial issues of the contemporary city is the enormous heritage of unused buildings and areas. Their reuse can contribute to new social and economic profits, to create new values within society and to avoid the considerable waste generated by their demolition and reconstruction. To tackle this issue an approach of adaptive reuse is proposed, i.e. the practice of inserting a new content into a new container (building, site, area), maximizing the conservation of the object of transformation, with a specific focus on culture as valuable driver to reactivate abandoned sites, areas and buildings, renewing their image and contributing to increase the level of well-being and social inclusion. In this context, we analyse six Italian cases of cultural urban regeneration characterized by different models of governance, a low intensity of financial capital and a high intensity of cultural and human capital, through a performance indicator framework in order to try to highlight which factors allowed or hindered the success of some projects.
