21210422 - Sustainable Development Management

The Sustainable Development Management course aims to illustrate and transmit to students theoretical and practical knowledge, fundamental concepts and analytical tools for understanding the structure and composition of Cultural Heritage (tangible and intangible) and the role it plays in the territory.
Particular attention will be paid to tangible cultural heritage and the business models for its management, aimed at promoting its sustainability, protection and enhancement (also) through technological solutions, as well as exploiting its availability to foster the well-being of individuals. More specifically, the notions on the sustainable management of cultural heritage will focus on preserving its value so that it can be made available to future generations to foster the subjective well-being and resilience of those with access to it, especially younger generations.
By the end of the course, the students will have acquired notions that will give them a clearer picture of the composition of cultural heritage and the actions implemented by the ecosystem's actors with a view to its sustainability, protection, and promotion. They will be able to look at these actions critically, evaluating their impact on the population's well-being.
