La Forte Cittadina: Understanding Cultural Heritage to Build Resilience in the Sardinian Context

Abstract

This paper explores and examines the ways in which Sardinia and its inhabitants have conceptualized, negotiated, and preserved their identity in the wake of globalisation by recognizing tangible and intangible aspects of their cultural heritage to be part of their sustainable development process. Through a confluence of current literature and ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Sardinia, this paper considers Sardinia as a case study of ways in which planners and locals in depopulating geographies can leverage their cultural heritage to become resilient in contemporary times.
