Heritage / Culture and Social Cohesion in the Project of Metropolitan City

The inclusive culture is here understood as a cultural context in which they exalt person, society and places excellence, in the belief that inclusion can be developed only by accepting the uniqueness and fragility of the territory, engaging to turn them into concrete and innovative resources for all. The ability to reconcile cultural and territorial balance / physical transformations goals leads to reestablish social rebalancing, such as unemployment fight and the start of inclusive policies directed primarily to disadvantaged. This work starts from these considerations to define the concept of inclusive metropolitan city in Reggio Calabria territorial context. The project examples (PISL “Progetti Integrati di Sviluppo Locale”) concern relations between the story and the future project and can be the starting point for this rising metropolitan reality, between responsibility and participation. The knowledge / awareness of the held heritage, is set up as an ideal place, where you occur convergences that provide the opportunity to confront approaches and planning actions for the metropolitan city.
