Summary
A study on Torre Annunziata, Naples, demonstrates that integrating circular economy principles with resilience thinking can effectively regenerate historic urban landscapes (HUL) while addressing the challenges of abandonment and decay. The research identifies a system of resilience performance indicators to assess the complex nature of HUL, proposing a scenario for circular regeneration that fosters synergies among physical, environmental, social, and economic systems. This approach aligns with Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development goals, offering a holistic framework for sustainable urban development in small-medium European cities.
