In this paper we discuss two cases of urban regeneration programs undertaken in Salerno, dealing with two separate stretches of its waterfront: the area of Santa Teresa, within the historical city center and the small harbor of Pastena, a neighborhood of more recent urbanization. After a first section aimed at defining the theoretical framework and the notion of common in urban planning and policy-making decision, we assess these regeneration projects, focusing on the protests and resistance actions carried out by the local community. The aim is to verify to what extent these grassroots movements have solicited a change in the “sense of place” and whether this change has produced new urban common.

Abstract
In this paper we discuss two cases of urban regeneration programs undertaken in Salerno, dealing with two separate stretches of its waterfront: the area of Santa Teresa, within the historical city center and the small harbor of Pastena, a neighborhood of more recent urbanization. After a first section aimed at defining the theoretical framework and the notion of common in urban planning and policy-making decision, we assess these regeneration projects, focusing on the protests and resistance actions carried out by the local community. The aim is to verify to what extent these grassroots movements have solicited a change in the “sense of place” and whether this change has produced new urban common.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
