Summary
Patrimonio industrial y minero emerges as a strategic tool for sustainable territorial development, offering a multidisciplinary approach to revitalize post-industrial and depopulated regions. The work demonstrates that material and immaterial legacies—such as landscapes, infrastructures, worker culture, collective memory, and technological heritage—can be leveraged for economic, cultural, and social regeneration. Through case studies like Las Médulas (a Roman gold-mining site), the book illustrates how conservation can integrate with contemporary projects, including sustainable tourism and knowledge transfer. Coordinated by the Cátedra de Territorios Sostenibles y Desarrollo Local at UNED, this critical reflection challenges traditional notions of industrial heritage, advocating for an inclusive vision that bridges history, technology, landscape, and community to shape the future of post-industrial territories.
