The essay discusses the architectural and territorial value of heritage in a comprehensive process of urban regeneration. The focus is on the Italian North-West, and the responses to the processes of deindustrialization in the region. The chapter offers a selection of best and worst practices in the North-West, which has experienced heritage approaches ranging from complete conservation to complete abandonment. The author suggests a stronger integration between heritage redevelopment and urban regeneration to use the full potential of heritage in regional culture. This should be linked to the collective imagery in the region, which would allow for more rooted and effective transformations of neighborhoods, cities and the postindustrial environment.
