Abstract

Abstract

Matera is the city of secular coevolution between man-nature-culture, characterized by a particular landscape, where each component interacts and interdepends with the others. Assuming the unifying approach of the landscape as a “prism” in which all the different perspectives converge with respect to which it is possible to interpret the Matera system, this paper intends to propose some strategies for the regeneration of the city based on the circular economy model, which has characterized the millenarian history of the city of Matera. The focus is on the operational strategy of cultural heritage adaptive reuse, highlighting the relationship between intrinsic value and use values. In this perspective, the evaluation activity plays a fundamental role in identifying the multidimensional productivity of the different alternatives and related impacts, beyond the reductive perspective of the archaeological/museum park.

Keywords: ECoC, circular city, intrinsic value
