An experiment to reduce the abandonment of the hamlets of Castiglione del Lago

The territory of Castiglione del Lago, located in a Region that already presents its own problems of internal isolation, is located in an area, that of Lake Trasimeno, which over the years has undergone a considerable decrease, economic, functional and consequently residential. If the major centers, such as Castiglione, Passignano and Tuoro, still manage to resist, thanks to the presence of most of the functions of the built-up area and the Coastal System of the lake, greater problems are found of the hamlets, now in a strong state of abandonment. This is part of those changes in the current economy, which, in order to revive these contexts, resumes the principles of sustainable development, giving greater emphasis on the environment, for the recovery aimed at reducing land consumption. in this way, the cultural and structural change brought by the circular economy, also affects the design. Given that the economic system is located within the ecological system, having to comply with physical, biological and climatic rules of operation and limits, the transition to urban and territorial regeneration, in its physical, social and economic components, cannot be separated from a profound revision and innovation of production and distribution models.
