Inner Areas and Minor Historical Centers for the Competitiveness of the Territory ; Aree interne e centri minori per la competitività del territorio
The recovery of the inner areas through the revitalization of minor historic centers is confronted with a fundamental problem: the ability to elaborate public policies able to combine the expectations of the development of the territory, exploiting its natural competitive advantages, with the preservation of historical and cultural identities.The attention to the territory and the European policies with a new approach place-based has placed the accent on the rediscovery and the valorization of the Inner Areas.

The development of these territories through the presence of historical, local and territorial settlements would be perfectly in line with the goals of the Europe 2030 Strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. The paper is about a research proposal on the small villages and minor historical centers of Calabria as focal points for the reactivation of the inland areas of the region. The comparison between strategies already started in Italy and the projects proposed by SRAI Calabria, still being implemented, is useful to outline the highlights of the Strategy and it is necessary to understand what kind of difficulties are.
