Stretch the Edge - Design driven processes for reactivating small walled towns and inland areas

Walled towns, due to their size, morphology, environmental or anthropic characteristics, are places that preserve tangible and intangible memories. Nevertheless, they now appear bearers of a number of criticalities that the design community has the opportunity to challenge.​

With the purpose of investigating how the discipline of design can be a useful tool for the reactivation, regeneration and enhancement of those inland territories enclosed by natural or artificial fortifications, the research calls out communities, professionals, companies, municipalities, associations and the international network of cultural and creative industries to share results of these kind of activities.
