| Summary: | This article analyses the tourist perspectives of former industrial suburbs
through the case study of Bagnoli (Naples, Italy). In fact, despite at the end of XIX
century the district of Bagnoli was an emerging seaside and thermal area, in 1910 it
was chosen as the location of a huge iron and steel industrial plant. Even today,
unfortunately, the district is characterized by dismissed facilities and a heavy
industrial landscape that constitute a landmark. However, at the same time, Bagnoli
still retains great potential and tourist resources, which could help it in the process of
urban regeneration and recovery of tourism, until now largely hampered by
bureaucracy, corruption and incapacity of the political class. After a qualitative
analysis of the existing literature, a field analysis was conducted, in order to observe
the resources of the territory and the strong dualism with the former industrial
landscape. Finally, to support the analysis, a questionnaire was submitted to the residents
of Bagnoli in which a renewed optimism for the regeneration of the neighborhood
emerged, but also a strong awareness of the weakness of the institutions. |
