Résumé en anglais
UNESCO Recommendation on Historic Urban Landscape (2011) highlights the need for arethink of the framework of tools for integrating conservation and sustainable development. In the same
way, United Nations recognizes the centrality of human beings in development processes, synthesized in17 Sustainable Development Goals, while New Urban Agenda refers them in the urban/rural space.
Operationalizing HUL approach means to translate UN criteria into actions directed on cultural heritageand, in particular, on landscape with high cultural and natural values. The tools aimed to operationalizing
HUL are in turn able to pursuit human wellbeing through cultural heritage.Many communities are enhanced from recognizing the values of their built environment, which as
cultural heritage in turn become social glue. In a short time, these bottom-up processes produce effectiveresults as relationships between people, community and place but in middle-long time they progressively
blow out. Our research focuses on a hybrid approach to strengthen the social empowerment process andto make it long-lasting through the actions on built environment.
An interdisciplinary and systemic approach aims to create physical and cultural conditions for a creativemilieu. The integration of skills, knowledge, needs, values, visions of the different actors involved, brings
economic, social and environmental impacts, that in turn are capable of circularizing relations betweenman, community and place, and activating a circular economy (Fusco Girard 2016). The project of built
environment is a cultural project because, storing the intangible heritage of knowledge and adaptivecapacity, becomes a source of innovation and a tool for managing the change. It not only promotes
attachment to the place of daily life, but also produces connections between different communities. So thecultural diversity becomes a wealth for the community and an occasion to translate attentions of assets in
actions that contribute to sustainable development, generating economic, social and cultural value.
