Résumé en anglais
Reggio Calabria in southern Italy is home to many minor historic centres (MHCs) of Greekorigin characterized by a strong territorial identity. Taking into account the political inaction and
stagnating socio-economic development, this research aims to explore how emerging civic engagementresulting from empowerment of local population and community collaboration helps revitalize these
MHCs through value-adding of its heritage. To this end, the research first looks into the driving forces of
emerging civic engagement by analysing the conditions and forms of local empowerment and communitycollaboration in the MHCs. Then based on literature review and field studies of three MHCs, Pentedattilo,
Riace and Bova, it proposes a civic engagement pattern that follows a mixed approach that is heritagebasedand system/network-based. Such a mixed approach is able to facilitate civic engagement and lever
sustainable local socio-economic development. Finally, this paper addresses the financial gap that oftenmakes community-led initiatives for the value-adding of Heritage not sustainable in terms of economic
impact. Therefore, the research integrates the mixed approach to civic engagement with financialinstruments, such as civic crowd-funding. Besides, it discusses how in practice these financial instruments
managed by the community can help implement the initiatives based on local heritage in a sustainableway.
