Mountain territories are the outcome of a continuous interaction between people and the environment, preserving the traces of a complex stratification of histories and processes. The distinctive physical and geographical character of the highlands, together with their diachronic relationship with “vertical” space, has shaped cultural landscapes, generating processes of territorialisation and different ways of inhabiting these environments. Economic and social crises, combined with a growing awareness of the fragility of these places, have brought mountain areas back to the centre of contemporary debate as both productive and inhabited territories. In recent years, the Alps have witnessed the emergence of practices of return and regeneration, signs of a resilience that rediscovers natural resources and transforms ruins into new forms of stewardship and presence within the landscape. The essays collected in this volume explore different aspects of this perspective, conceiving the mountains as a “strategic laboratory” in which new models of development can be tested by interweaving physical, social, and cultural initiatives, the stewardship of the human-shaped geographical environment, and the enhancement of local resources and identity-based heritage within the broader context of climate change.
I territori montani sono l’esito di una costante interazione tra uomo e ambiente, dove permangono le tracce di una complessa stratificazione di storie e processi. La forte connotazione dal punto di vista fisico-geografico delle Terre Alte e la relazione diacronica con lo spazio “in verticale” hanno generato paesaggi culturali, attivando azioni di territorializzazione e differenti modi di abitare. Le crisi economiche e sociali, insieme alla crescente consapevolezza della fragilità di questi luoghi, pongono oggi la montagna al centro di un rinnovato dibattito quale territorio produttivo e abitato. Negli ultimi anni le Alpi hanno visto emergere pratiche di ritorno e rigenerazione, segni di una resilienza che riscopre le risorse naturali e trasforma le rovine in nuovi presidi paesaggistici. I saggi raccolti in questo volume rappresentano una declinazione di questa prospettiva dove la montagna diventa un “laboratorio strategico” in cui sperimentare nuovi modelli di sviluppo intrecciando progettualità fisiche, sociali e culturali, cura dell’ambiente antropogeografico, valorizzazione delle risorse e di un patrimonio identitario nella logica del climate change.

Abstract
Mountain territories are the outcome of a continuous interaction between people and the environment, preserving the traces of a complex stratification of histories and processes. The distinctive physical and geographical character of the highlands, together with their diachronic relationship with “vertical” space, has shaped cultural landscapes, generating processes of territorialisation and different ways of inhabiting these environments. Economic and social crises, combined with a growing awareness of the fragility of these places, have brought mountain areas back to the centre of contemporary debate as both productive and inhabited territories. In recent years, the Alps have witnessed the emergence of practices of return and regeneration, signs of a resilience that rediscovers natural resources and transforms ruins into new forms of stewardship and presence within the landscape. The essays collected in this volume explore different aspects of this perspective, conceiving the mountains as a “strategic laboratory” in which new models of development can be tested by interweaving physical, social, and cultural initiatives, the stewardship of the human-shaped geographical environment, and the enhancement of local resources and identity-based heritage within the broader context of climate change.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
