Nuovi processi di patrimonializzazione per i territori post-minerari. Il caso della regione del Bassin Minier Nord-Pas-de-Calais in Francia

The article returns some results of a research carried out by the Department of Architecture of Florence in collaboration with the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture et Paysage of Lille in the frame of the partnership table Acclimater les territoires postminiers, labelled in 2020 by the French Ministry of Culture. The aims of the table were to bring the protagonists the teaching and research world to discuss together over the theme of sustainable regeneration of Miner Basin of Nord-Pas de Calais. After the period in which the idea to erase mining history prevailed, the Unesco in 2012 recognized the Miner Basin as a World Heritage Site. This contribution reflects over the concept of 'living evolutionary cultural heritage' using the polysemic term of acclimata-tion. The article poses furthermore the questions of the tools and the methods to be used for the architectural, urban and landscape projects combining heritage resources and environmental deg-radation, energy insecurity, social fragility, and economic decline.
