This edited collection explores how architects, planners, and landscape architects can engage with former mining sites and communities. Chapters investigate how to move from an extractivist system towards a territorialist project, working towards the reappropriation of territorial resources after centuries of subordination of local and immigrant populations. The first part reviews cases from European sites, including examples from France, Germany, and Romania that highlight intangible heritage as the subject of a territorial project. A special focus is placed on the coalfields of northern France, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2012, where many experimental projects are being carried out. The second part explores the great American landscapes transformed by the extractive industry in the United States, Brazil, and Chile. Fully illustrated throughout, this book features photos showcasing architectural and landscape achievements, as well as drawings of future projects. Contributors respond to the design challenges of post-mining landscapes, foreshadowing new and varied transformative horizons. The cases present a rich and articulate collection of ‘on-the-ground’ projects. This book is essential for practitioners and students of architecture and urban planning, as well as associations and political and technical actors in post-mining communities.

This book aims to address the issue of the effects that the contemporary environmental, technological, social and economic global challenges produce on settlement systems, communities, institutions and enterprises. It presents a multi-disciplinary scientific debate on the new frontiers of strategic and spatial planning, decision support tools and ecological design, within the urban-rural areas networks and the metropolitan cities of the Mediterranean basin. The book focuses on five topics: Cultural Heritage as driver of development for territories and tourism destinations; Ecosystems, people-nature cohesion and urban-rural relationships; Decision Support Systems for urban regeneration; Policies and practices of cohesion and social innovation for inclusive cities; Green buildings and sustainable solutions for ecological transition. In addition, the book hosts the papers of a special session intercluster promoted by Italian Society of Architectural Technology (SITdA). The book benefits all researchers, practitioners and policymakers interested in the issue applied to metropolitan cities and marginal areas.
