Abstract

The concentration and quality of religious heritage structures shape the urban land-scape of historic centres, demonstrating how the circular paradigm (social, economic, cul-tural) was the historical premise of such complex heritage systems. Social dynamics now render this heritage redundant with respect to demography and religious practices, trigger-ing abandonment and decommissioning phenomena that compromise both ordinary main-tenance and conservation planning. To promote conservation plans on an urban scale, it is crucial to comprehend and overcome institutional fragmentation. Additionally, it is impor-tant to encourage new forms of community that can harness the relational potential of the vast, underused heritage. These are the objectives of the ongoing project (2022-2023) on the churches in the historic centre of Turin (ChiesTo), developed by a group of institutional actors with the aim of reactivating cultural and social circularities that animate and plan the daily attendance and conservation of the religious heritage system.
