The goal of the D:T:P: network is to initiate a critical review of the relationship “Design, Territory, Cultural Heritage,” to update reading models, theoretical contexts, and operational practices. On the other hand, it is about re-reading the dependency that manifests itself in new forms between the meanings of local and global in a territorial context that, in renewing key words such as “territorial capital” and “identity,” grows in complexity. Furthermore, observing how crucial it is to promote basic and applied design research that fosters social innovation, the working group aims to examine the role these have in making citizens, communities, businesses, public governance, and private institutions proactive. For the same reasons, the D:T:P: network intends to investigate the importance assumed by digital technologies for balanced territorial development and therefore to safeguard a material and immaterial culture that, as established by the UNESCO General Conference in 2003, the Faro Convention of 2005, and Goal 11 of the UN 2030 agenda for sustainable cities and communities, guarantees civil rights and democracy.
