Rivoluzioni interne : il ruolo della ricerca nella rigenerazione delle aree interne d'Abruzzo

The vision of the lever of culture as growth, linked only to the beauty of the historical centres of the inland areas, forgets the social value. Active cultural participation is necessary for effective growth that also involves those who live there and not who "consume" the places. In this framework, the role of the University becomes central for the triggers that can accompany the dynamics of regeneration. An interesting experience with potential for replication regards Community cooperatives of Abruzzo, in which some researchers from the Departments of Architecture and Economics of the “G.d'Annunzio” University are experimenting with approaches to enhance processes already implemented in a multidisciplinary approach. The experience, under the dissemination work of Confcooperative, concerns the presence of economic cooperation activities accompanied by growth and stabilization processes.
