Mapping Smart Village Initiatives: A Comparative Case Study Analysis
摘要
This chapter presents good practices in the regeneration/rehabilitation and enhancement of small villages, illustrating how interventions shape spaces, communities, and local relationships. It maps diverse Non-European and European case studies, distinguishing between public and private initiatives and evaluating their innovativeness, economic impact, and scale of application. Detailed case sheets provide qualitative analyses and highlight replicable strategies for small-town regeneration. The chapter offers an initial guide of innovative approaches, emphasizing territorial-scale interventions and exemplary cases in Italy, forming a practical framework for sustainable revitalization of inner rural areas.
