“…While an academic debate on urban regeneration and social innovation in Italy is fairly wellestablished (Ostanel 2017;Billi and Tricarico 2018;Cottino and Zandonai, 2012;Battistoni and Zandonai 2017;Calvaresi 2018), studies of social entrepreneurial initiatives in the cultural field are still few and far between. The most salient experiences include the cases of ExFadda in San Vito dei Normanni (Apulia) and Periferica in Mazara del Vallo (Sicily) (Scaffidi, 2019), representing what Tricarico et al (2020) call "Platform Spaces", based on multi-player cooperation.…”

This paper focuses on urban regeneration practices based on adaptive reuse projects in culture and the arts, where new forms of social entrepreneurship emerge. Through in-depth qualitative research, we develop three case studies in three different urban contexts in Italy: Turin, a large and highly industrialised city in one of the country's north-west regions; Terni, a medium-sized city in central Italy; and Favara, a small town in the province of Agrigento on the island of Sicily. Building on the case studies, we outline a possible taxonomy of urban remains, entrepreneurship, and adaptive reuse models, reflecting on the role of social entrepreneurship and its peculiar governance and business models, the specific features of adaptive reuse and urban regeneration processes, and the relationship between art and urban regeneration. Some closing remarks focus on how social entrepreneurship in the cultural field challenges both scholars and decision-makers.

“…For example, Cottino and Zandonai [77] focus attention on the role of social enterprises in the processes of renovating community assets, emphasising the convergence of social enterprises and public policies. Ostanel [78] analyses a series of reactivated spaces and notes how these spaces can establish relationships with the local fabric and generate a strong social impact.…”

How to Monitor and Evaluate Quality in Adaptive Heritage Reuse Projects from a Well-Being Perspective: A Proposal for a Dashboard Model of Indicators to Support Promoters

Among the research discourse concerning cultural heritage in the post-COVID-19phase, a greater awareness of the social value of heritage and its repercussions on collective well-being has emerged. This attention requires overcoming the top-down approach of public policies in favour of public–private partnership tools that are more effective at capturing the multidimensional components of value generated by cultural heritage. However, it is necessary to refine the tools used to evaluate and guide actions towards a perspective capable of integrating the conservation needs of the asset with collective well-being. This contribution investigates the calls for funding and public notices on the architectural heritage in Italy in the period from 2014–2020. In this field, the Third Sector is assuming a crucial role, showing specific attention to the issue of well-being consistent with its social goals. The calls were collected and structured in a database, with a specific focus on the calls aimed at adaptive heritage reuse that were categorised and analysed. Finally, the research proposed an assessment method based on a dashboard model of indicators to evaluate the quality of reuse interventions. The selected indicators consider both the production of plus-value in terms of improving well-being, and the need to bring the interventions on the existing architecture to a procedural circularity in line with the theoretical orientations of restoration.

“…The contamination of resilience initiatives particularly occurs due to the identification of relatively defined problems around which various actors unite, by setting up transversal links that go beyond traditional cultural and ideological matrixes, territorial belonging, sharing of juridical forms, and so on (Sacchetti, Christoforou and Mosca, 2018). This pragmatic approach in the form of a community project is based on well-defined and measurable drivers, such as the reuse of abandoned properties, which reactivate the network of relations according to new modalities (Cottino and Zandonai, 2012). Therefore, the processual dimension of resilience clearly emerges.…”

The UNESCO recently designated the Appennino Tosco-Emiliano as a biosphere reserve (BR) in 2015. On the reserve territory, it is possible to rediscover the constitutive elements of this environmental, socioeconomic and historical-cultural space. In particular, the existence of different stratifications of social entrepreneurship represents a valuable element that the biosphere is expected to enhance and spread to other territories. In addition to consolidated social economy experiences, some organisational innovations, such as community enterprises, are in fact developing. Originating from processes of social resilience, these enterprises contribute to redefining the supply of collective interest services, by basing themselves on the regeneration of economies and place-based resources and by challenging the territorial governance models in terms of greater inclusivity.
