Forum Novum at Mile X of Via Traiana (Italy)

Forum Novum, located at mile X of the Via Traiana, stands as a pivotal site for territorial regeneration and cultural heritage enhancement. This study proposes an integrated strategy to leverage the historical significance of Forum Novum, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site 'Via Appia. Regina Viarum,' to drive sustainable development in surrounding areas. The approach combines archaeological research, landscape reconstruction, and educational initiatives, aiming to create a model for urban regeneration that integrates public and private stakeholders. By focusing on the site's potential, the project seeks to trigger economic growth, promote tourism, and foster local businesses centered around cultural heritage. This strategy not only enhances the preservation of historical and environmental values but also establishes Forum Novum as an incubator for innovation in the cultural heritage supply chain.
