In recent years, the issue of inner areas has gained increasing prominence in debates on territorial development, public policy, and the practices of social and economic actors. In Lombardy too, one of Italy’s most highly urbanised regions, policies and projects have been promoted to counter what has been described as an exodus from marginal areas. In this volume, an interdisciplinary research group from the Department of Architecture and Urban Studies (DAStU) at Politecnico di Milano offers nine thematic perspectives on the fourteen territories designated as inner areas by the Lombardy Region. From the historically industrialised pre-Alpine valleys, now facing a challenging transition, to the lowland plains transformed by changes in agriculture and the expansion of logistics, and the lake districts caught between overtourism and a renewed appreciation of local assets, 'Altre Lombardie' takes the reader on a journey through the changing forms of settlement, the organisation of everyday life, and the human and natural heritage of an extraordinarily diverse territorial landscape. It is a journey that ultimately invites us to rethink our understanding of inner areas.
In anni recenti, il tema delle aree interne ha assunto crescente importanza nel dibatti sul territorio, nelle politiche pubbliche come nelle pratiche degli attori sociali ed economici. Anche in Lombardia, una delle regioni più urbanizzate della penisola, sono state promosse politiche e progetti volti a fermare quello che è stato definito come l’esodo dalle aree marginali. In questo volume, un gruppo di ricerca interdisciplinare del Dipartimento di Architettura e Studi Urbani (DAStU) del Politecnico di Milano offre nove prospettive tematiche sui quattordici territori che la Regione ha definito quali aree interne.Dalle valli prealpine di antica industrializzazione oggi alle prese con una difficile transizione alle basse pianure trasformate dai cambiamenti dell’agricoltura e dell’avanzare della logistica passando per territori dei laghi sospesi fra overtourism e riscoperta dei beni territoriali, Altre Lombardie ci conduce in un viaggio attraverso le evoluzioni delle forme insediative, dell’organizzazione della vita quotidiana, dei patrimoni umani e naturali di un palinsesto straordinariamente variegato di territori. Un viaggio da cui si torna con un’idea diversa delle aree interne.

Abstract
In recent years, the issue of inner areas has gained increasing prominence in debates on territorial development, public policy, and the practices of social and economic actors. In Lombardy too, one of Italy’s most highly urbanised regions, policies and projects have been promoted to counter what has been described as an exodus from marginal areas. In this volume, an interdisciplinary research group from the Department of Architecture and Urban Studies (DAStU) at Politecnico di Milano offers nine thematic perspectives on the fourteen territories designated as inner areas by the Lombardy Region. From the historically industrialised pre-Alpine valleys, now facing a challenging transition, to the lowland plains transformed by changes in agriculture and the expansion of logistics, and the lake districts caught between overtourism and a renewed appreciation of local assets, 'Altre Lombardie' takes the reader on a journey through the changing forms of settlement, the organisation of everyday life, and the human and natural heritage of an extraordinarily diverse territorial landscape. It is a journey that ultimately invites us to rethink our understanding of inner areas.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
