How can we regenerate inner areas’ villages, economies and communities?

Montagna Fiorentina is the cultural and social regeneration strategy for the municipalities of Londa and San Godenzo, coordinated by LAMA. It aims to transform these areas into examples of ecosystemic communities, enhancing their cultural and natural heritage to improve the quality of life and promote sustainable tourism. The core idea is to trigger a process that fosters social innovation, counters depopulation, and strengthens the economic and social fabric, using art, culture, and nature as drivers of change.

The main objectives include increasing residential and tourist attractiveness, improving the area’s cultural and physical accessibility, stimulating youth and female entrepreneurship, and strengthening residents’ well-being and social cohesion.

The strategy includes 12 interventions: three physical ones (such as the renovation of public buildings including the Chalet del Lago in Londa and the historic Palazzo Del Campana in San Godenzo) and nine intangible ones (including placemaking initiatives, cultural production, and community engagement). The synergy between material and immaterial interventions aims to create liveable, welcoming places and new services, strengthening the network between citizens, businesses, and institutions to ensure a lasting and sustainable impact.
