Survey on Cultural Heritage Adaptive Reuse practice

Project Id	3612
Project Name	2nd Chance - Waking up the sleeping Giants, Italy
Description	Naples is the third largest city in Italy. His historic center is the largest in Europe and was included in the “World Heritage List” of UNESCO in 1995. The origins of the city date back to the VI century B.C. The Greek-Roman road network was preserved until now in the old town centre but the stratification of the following ages enlarged its patrimony of many major monuments and remarkable urban layout of XIV-XVIII. Santissima Trinità delle Monache complex, also known as ex-Military Hospital, is an historical architecture with a high artistic value, a large building complex that dominates the Historic centre of Naples. The refunctionalization of this abandoned building complex could contribute both to the regeneration of surrounding areas by increasing the quality of life of its inhabitants, and to reduction of socio-spatial segregation of neighbourhood by giving the opportunity to the citizens to discover an unknown part of the UNESCO site.
Description of the economic, social and environmental impacts of the project	Since 2011, the Municipality of Naples has promoted the reuse of vacant buildings that can provide access to a great amount of nw spaces for economic, social and cultural functions to confront the limited urban space within the existing building stock. The reactivation of Ss.Trinità delle Monache complex can strengthen the identity of the location and its inhabitants. The space can be (partly) used for the common goods, allowing taking on social and community functions (provision of social services, neighbourhood centres, meeting space, etc.). Through an open call, the municipality has involved the citizens in the reactivation process, by inviting them to express their interest in joing the URBACT Local Group. Almost 200 people are actively participating in developing one shared vision for the reuse of the building complex, in elaborating the Local Action Plan.
