Resilient Landscapes: Post-crisis Local Development and Sustainable Society

In recent years, resilient districts have become territorial contexts for projects designed to respond to the needs of local communities, through the exploitation of landscape peculiarities to overcome the economic crisis. This volume offers a comprehensive insight on sustainable development of local territories. It recommends the planning of local interventions through the integration of sustainable development with resilience of local systems. The chapters originate from either individual or collective work independently conducted, but at the same time integrated by scholars from different academic backgrounds, among which environmental and agrarian sciences, social and economic disciplines, and urban planning and landscape design are included.
