Measuring resilience for territorial enhancement: An experimentation in Trentino (Misurare la resilienza per la valorizzazione dei territori: Una sperimentazione in Trentino)

Urban resilience - namely the capacity of a territorial system to persist, adapt or transform in the face of pressure - calls for an adaptive approach to planning, able to face uncertainty and unpredictability. Evaluation plays a key role to support a "learn-by-doing approach", providing tools and methods able to sustain the definition of territorial and landscape policies under a resilience perspective. The present article illustrates an experimentation developed on a real-world case study in Trentino Region. In particular, the paper describes an integrated model aimed at providing an overall evaluation of the territory under examination, by means of multidimensional indicators and synthetic indexes useful to support planning and management processes
