Popis: The paper deals with participatory and bottom up strategies for urban regeneration processes in historical centres, enhancing cultural heritage as driver for a development based on local identity and genius loci, strengthening the sense of belonging in the citizens. In the last century, politicians with the support of the technicians designed experiences of renovation in historic sites, obtaining different level of urban quality but often favouring cases of gentrification or museification. Cases that are more recent are based on a community-led regeneration approach, for reconciling the social with the economic and physical outcomes of urban governance. The implementation of this approach requires collaborative practices with a network of local stakeholders to facilitate a wide regeneration. Sharing common goals with stakeholders and decision makers, citizens can contribute to define solutions to local issues in a collaborative approach, improving the social, economic, environmental and cultural well-being of their everyday places. To demonstrate that, a case study has been purposely selected, the ancient centre of Naples and the participatory initiatives activated by the Sansevero Chapel Museum and Corpo di Napoli Committee. The study includes a comprehensive analysis of material and immaterial cultural heritage of the area, fieldwork sessions and interviews to key stakeholders to analyze initiatives for urban regeneration promoted in the historic centre in the last decades. Evidence from the case study highlights the strategic role of community involvement together with the network of key actors, to trigger socio-economic and physical improvements in degraded area and to support regeneration processes, achieving common goals of local valorization.
