Nuove prospettive per il riuso adattivo delle chiese cattoliche: verso una valorizzazione come beni comuni?

Tackling the problem of the redundancy of Catholic places of worship in Europe requires new strategic approaches. A comparison between Italy, Belgium and France shows that, despite different legal systems, a similar approach is possible. The classification of churches as common goods and the activation of participatory processes for the identification of new secular uses can allow adaptive reuse solutions compatible with both canon law and civil law, including international conventions.
