Abstract

The contemporary urban museum: analysis, tools and methodologies for a review of strategy monitoring process and the development of guidelines

The article proposes the results of a doctoral research about the role of the museum in urban contexts as a hub for activating participation processes with residents through dedicated activities and the reconfiguration of traditional visiting spaces, opening up to dialogue with the city. Considering the museum as an innovative place of social aggregation and attraction of users, the museum takes on an increasingly inclusive meaning, becoming emblematic of the relationship with its territory. The research methodologically identifies new qualiquantitative criteria for evaluating the impact that museum generates in improving welfare policies, increasing its social role. Through three case studies, selected from typologies where the museum has been an active subject in the urban transformation process, the relationship that has been established with the institutions, citizens and professionals is highlighted to find those elements on which the different processes were structured. The aim is to find analogies and differences and build a model, which supports in configuring a preliminary proposal of guidelines, measuring management performances on the multi-scale interaction between museum and city in urban regeneration processes.
