strategy as an anti
gentrification measure in
heritage settings
Gaia Redelli
A recent article explores the current
relationship between gentrification and
right to the city, as a desire for a collective
future of our urban environment. Especially
today, when places like Cordoba are faced
with the dynamics of strong speculative
tension between the real estate bubble, the
chess of investment funds seems to be
directed more and more inside the city.

Italy ratifies the Faro Convention
The ratification of Faro by Italy gives greater energy and
credit to those who open communities and insert them
into planetary contexts in which to dissolve problems.
Sabrina Ciancone, mayor of Fontecchio, recalls that in
2013, by an act of the City Council, it local context
unanimously decided to implement the principles of the
Convention. The insight from that work is that Faro is
implemented locally and practically. Maybe that is the
reason there is so much creative energy around the

Local Experiences [Ángel Portolés Górriz]
The Patrimoni project of the University Extension
Program of the Universitat Jaume I (PEU UJI) has
published its annual magazine Memoria Viva. Many
experiences of heritage communities or local groups
are shared. “Projects in the territory” is the first part
and is made up of six articles written by members of
the PEU network. The second part, "In depth", frames
the texts by Ruth Marañón Martínez and Stella
Maldonado on lost assets and online assets. Finally,
the "Investigations" part brings together another
thirteen peer selected. Link to the magazine.

“17 Targets and a Map”
UJI is also working with others to create an
observatory of the Sustainable Development Goals
but scaled to the territory. Under spotlight are
initiatives that transmit values to citizens, so that
common expectations are shared by understanding
the codes of others. It is a tool to inspire and guide
the strategy and management of the stakeholders and
generate sustainability. Visit the Website (in spanish):

Ideas: is heritage our commons or
commons our shared heritage?
Maria Cerreta and Eleonora Giovene di Girasole from
Naples article examines how Faro promotes a
broader understanding of heritage in which cultural
heritage acquires the meaning of common good or
“cultural commons”. In this perspective, the paper
presents a proposal for the integration of the
evaluation process identified by the Faro Convention,
explaining the appropriate indicators useful for
analysing the specificity of the valorisation processes
and making them comparable.Read the full article
Elena Taverna from Labsus Labsus examines the
potency of collaboration agreements as commons and
the identification of spaces that we can recognize as
prerequisites of life together. In Italy the collaboration
agreements are new tools that local authorities and
citizens can use for the care, regeneration and shared
management of
common, tangible or intangible property. Download
