C.U.L.T.UR.E
DESCRIPTION:
C.U.L.T.UR.E project (Cités Unesco Laboratoires de Territoires URbains Équilibrés) aims at questioning the role of "culture" in its broadest meaning, as a matrix of historic towns and as the engine of EU economic development. The project started in May 2009 when Region Campania, the Province of Ferrara, the Municipality of Pisa, the Province of Cordoba, Region Murcia, the Municipality of Tarragona, the Municipalities of Corfu and Rhodes met in Naples to lay the basis for a transnational multilevel governance strategy aimed at preserving them and increasing their appeal and competitiveness thus giving back to historical and cultural heritage its leading role in European development.
ACTIVITIES:
The project proposes a transnational cooperation action which derives different project areas from the basic theme of culture as a factor for urban renovation.
-a common transnational action plan to be constructed expecting of new model of transnational governance and commons innovating project' actions. The aim is to identify clear actions to adopt as instruments to implement the financial resources of the ERDF funds
-common methods will be designed to protect the heritage and to improve the management of the historical urban centres and of the historical
-cultural landscape which are at risk because of land use, by accepting the new project needs linked to the sustainability of the urban environment with the aim of finding a solution to apply bio-building techniques also to historical buildings.
-the best, replicable and innovative management and investment model is sought, of both the public/private and public/public type
–a model that takes into account the need for a shift from the culture of passive protection to active protection of a highly complex heritage (that cannot be compared to a single architectural building or a natural site) involving a great number of public and private actors in the filed of cultural heritage in its management and use.
-implementing innovative cultural services to increase territorial economic attractiveness also through the contribution of identity factors and the cultural roots of the places to the revitalisation of an economic texture, its relationship with the production,promotion and management of artistic and cultural activities for which historical centres may provide the ideal setting.
The project also stresses the need to spread among the young the culture of active citizenship and of “participating democracy” as the tools necessary to guarantee the quality of city government policies with respect to their needs in terms of liveability,where to experiment dialogue and to make active proposals.Other innovative instruments will be used to sensitise and involve the local community,that will be called to talk about itself in a documentary bearing witness to the identity and cultural heritage of historical centres or taking the challenge of proposing “solutions” for the quality of urban life through a call for ideas.
