Infrastructural Networks for Evolved Tourism

Abstract

The work starts from the redevelopment of a large abandoned architecture in a resort of the Cesena Apennines to handle a wider issue: that of the smaller towns in Italy. It is part of a Relevant National Interest Project that deals with the Detection of innovative instruments for the protection and development of settlement systems. Their crisis is mainly due to abandonment, however they still constitute a precious cultural and economic heritage. There are some indications about the fields of investigation (first of all that the tourist phenomena) and the guidelines to give these systems a role in contemporary society, recognizing the importance of creating networks, both hard and soft, between various centers, to develop synergies and complementarities.
