Abstract
The contribution aims at studying the opportunities offered by curatorship’s application to alternative urban planning processes, in a perspective of innovation and sustainability. If on the one hand from the beginning of the 2000s art has been increasingly used in culture-led and tourism-led urban regeneration processes, on the other one the idea that these interventions need to be curated by specialized professionals emerged. The paper presents some urban space curatorship’s examples, in order to turn the spotlight on their innovative characteristics: the selected cases are Culture in Action in the US, Manifesta biennial in Europe and Without Frontiers festival in Italy. Discussing the curator’s role in urban contexts and the opportunity to adopt museum strategies in urban spaces, the author aims at fostering the cataloguing of curatorial practices used in urban spaces and their integration in innovative and sustainable urban planning processes, as a structural and long-term element.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
